Zeljan Kurst is an antagonist in the novel Snakehead, and also the main antagonist in the upcoming novel Scorpia Rising.
Kurst is the head of the criminal organization SCORPIA (his position in SCORPIA is the same as that of Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the head of the criminal organization SPECTRE, in the James Bond series). He owns a funeral parlour business with a secret room which is used as SCORPIA's conference room. He also gives Major Winston Yu the assignment of carrying out Operation Reef Encounter, and they regularly have meetings throughout the novel so that Yu can brief Kurst on the operation's progress.
