King Quincy/History

== ==
At one point early on, the Funk Trolls were ruled by a single king who was a giant Funk Troll. This concept was later changed, being replaced by Quincy and Essence. A lot of Quincy's early designs were reminiscent to a wizard or an early 20th century alien.
From DreamWorks website:
"Working with George Clinton, as King Quincy, was unbelievable to me," says Ron Funches, who plays Cooper. "Seeing him perform in concert was one of my biggest inspirations to get started in entertainment. It looked like he was having so much fun, and I wanted to have that type of fun. Now, I get to have that type of fun with one of the fathers of funk himself!"https://www.dreamworks.com/trolls/explore/king-quincy

=== Pre-Trolls World Tour ===
At some point of his life, Quincy became king, married Essence, and they soon got their twin eggs. Unfortunately, one of their unborn sons ended up being stolen by a bird, but unbeknown to them, it had landed in Troll Village. Since then, they had been trying to find their lost son while raising their remaining one, Prince D, as their only child. Like his wife, he was unaware that Cooper had landed in Pop Village far from Vibe City.
While Essence kept their people through hard times, Quincy's mind was always on his lost son, and he never stopped looking for him. When Darnell was old enough to understand, both Essence and he told Darnell of his lost brother. By the time near the events of Trolls World Tour, Quincy had started to lose hope for ever finding his lost son.
=== Trolls World Tour ===
Some time later, Cooper was wandering in the desert when he got sucked into Vibe City. As a result, King Quincy, along with Queen Essence and Prince D, warmly welcomed him back to the family.
When Queen Poppy, Branch and Hickory arrive at Vibe City, they're greeted with a friendly welcome. However, the Funk King and Queen are not prepared to combine their Funk strength with the Pop Trolls' strength, and Darnell explains the reason why; in the past, the Troll Tribes separated after the Pop Trolls had stolen the six strings for themselves. Although the Funk Trolls don't hold a grudge against the Pop Trolls for their ancestors' wrongdoings, they explain differences matter to them, and what makes them Funk Trolls is more important than anything else. As the Rock Trolls attack, Quincy gives the order to prepare for battle and both he and Essence prepare themselves.
Soon, the Funk Trolls find themselves in darkness as Riff hijacks and unplugs the power. The entire Funk Troll Tribe is captured and taken to Volcano Rock City, where Barb begins to play the Ultimate Power Chord. Branch stops Barb from transforming Poppy into a Rock zombie, but is the first to be transformed instead. Soon, Barb transforms all the Tribe leaders, including the Funk royal pair as their sons can only look on in woe.
After Poppy smashes Barb's guitar, Quincy and Essence, as well as Branch and the other leaders, are freed from being controlled, but the Strings have been destroyed as well, apparently resulting in the destruction of all music. While the Trolls are saddened by their loss, Cooper and D begin to make music, causing Quincy and Essence to realize that music truly came from within their hearts, which is something that could never be taken away; while it started with the Strings, they no longer needed them since music came from within themselves. The Trolls sang together, inspiring harmony between them and restoring their true colors.
The Trolls are finally an united Kingdom again. At the end credits, he's seen dancing with his family.
