Xuē Wenquan

Xuē 'Adrian' Wenquan was a character in QIA.
== Biography ==
Wenquan, known to his friends as 'Adrian', joined the QIA at some point in 2018 as the linguist for the Hong Kong Field Team.
Like his London counterpart Sarah Cunnington, he too was tasked with translating portions of the Medical Journal. When Sarah joined the Hong Kong team for the Karachi mission, they both took the opportunity to compare notes on their respective parts of the journal, though they still did not make much more sense of it than before.
Adrian also told them of a mission the team had undergone in Malaysia a few months ago, in which they had prevented a Reclaimer from murdering an archaeologist and obtaining a ceremonial dagger, used in a ritual that could be connected to the journal. After the completion of the mission, all members of the team were ordered to sign non-disclosure agreements, which Adrian broke by telling Sarah about the mission. ("Jilani")
The morning after his conversation with Sarah, Adrian went missing ("Dorody"); two weeks later his body was found - he had been beheaded. Hong Kong authorities apparently concluded that it had been a Triad hit, and that Adrian had been tortured and executed by the 14K because he had owed them money. However, both Hall and Sarah suspect otherwise ("Luxembourg").
In fact, Adrian had not been killed by the 14K; he had instead Jumped to Malaysia, where he revealed that his loyalties were in fact not to the QIA (or the Reclaimers), but to someone else. He attempted to mutilate Sarah, but was killed by Ethan Taylor, who decapitated him and later had his body disposed - presumably to Hong Kong, where he would be found as previously described to Sarah. ("Misdirection", "Reclamation")
Much later, Miranda Davenport revealed to Ethan that Brent Hall had sent Adrian to disfigure Sarah in order to bring about her corruption, but he made a deal with Hall - the information needed to save her in exchange for murdering Denny Franklin. ("Family")
