Kurt Weller is the former Assistant Director of the FBI New York Office and former Special Agent at the FBI Critical Incident Response Group on NBC's Blindspot. His name appeared mysteriously tattooed on Jane Doe's body, who was directly connected to a terrorist organization that sought to bring the current U.S. Administration down.
Childhood and Early Life
Kurt was born in Clearfield, Pennsylvania where he lived with his younger sister, Sarah Weller, his father, Bill Weller and his mother. At the age of 10, his neighbors welcomed their first daughter, Taylor Shaw, who grew up to become Kurt's best friend. Their friendship grew stronger as the two kids spent most of their time playing together and going on trips such as camping and fishing with Weller's dad. Taylor would also stay at the Weller household when her mother worked at night. The last time Kurt saw Taylor Shaw was before the both of them went to bed; during the night, he went to check up on her but the girl was gone, alluding that someone kidnapped her from her own room. The community looked for Taylor but there was no trace of her, making Kurt growing suspicious of his father after realizing that Bill's alibi, going out to buy alcohol for a party, didn't quite fit after coming back home with his shoes covered in mud. These accusations led Bill to develop a tendency to abuse of alcohol, resulting in his wife fleeing the town after their divorce, leaving her kids to Bill's care. However, unable to forgive his father and growing resentful towards his dad, Kurt left the house and enrolled for the Military Academy in order to stay as away from Bill as possible. Even though he was away from home, Weller constantly left the place to keep an eye on his sister and make sure she was fine under the care of their father. Feeling guilty for Taylor's disappearance, Weller never stopped looking for her and it was customary of him to attend Taylor's memorial every year since she disappeared. It was implied that this traumatic event and his guilt for Taylor's disappearance were crucial for him to join the FBI and becoming a Special Agent.
Season 3
Weller spent almost two years travelling, fruitlessly and desperately searching for his wife. He searched around the world, beginning with Venice, Italy, the place where he proposed to Jane. Weller was alone in his quest. The expenses of this trip cost him almost all of his money. Eighteen months after Jane's disappearance, Weller came back to his apartment in NYC with the intention of selling it. He was surprised with a visit from Eleanor Hirst. Thinking that she was there to offer him his job back, he rejected the unspoken offer, saying that he would not return until he found Jane. Hirst handed Weller a silver box with Jane's name on it and pointed to some coordinates on the back with Jane's exact location in Nepal. Weller immediately traveled to Kathmandu. He was accompanied by a female monk to a hut where he finally found Jane. Jane walked toward Weller and the both hugged briefly. After they broke the embrace, Jane realized that Weller was still wearing his wedding ring, who admitted that he never took it off. Moments later, Weller produces the metal box labelled Jane Doe FBI from his backpack and informed Jane that Patterson, Zapata, and Reade had been kidnapped and he needed her help to find them. Once they both touched the box, it opened, producing a metal disk with Jane's bird tattoo on it. Weller places it next to the original tattoo on Jane's neck, revealing a second layer of bio-luminescent tattoos.
Personal Life
After Weller let his father into his life again, things started to go right between the two of them and Sarah. However, when Reade admits to Weller that he was currently dating his sister, Kurt orders him to end their relationship, which brought a big fight between Weller and Sarah and his sister moving out from his home. Three months after Jane was arrested and taken by the CIA, Allison Knight visited Kurt and shared the news of her pregnancy, letting him know that it was up to him to be part of the baby's life. When Weller accepts to help Allie with the baby, the two organized a gender reveal party where they found out that they're having a girl. Not much time after the party, Allie informed Kurt that she's moving to Colorado after getting a promotion in her job.
