## History

### 1843 (The Mighty Lusca)

Quincy joined the hunt for a supposed whale that was terrorizing deep waters due to his knowledge and skill in tracking down such beasts. Despite his lack of book knowledge, he was familiar with the tale of the Lusca having heard legends of Atlantis and was able to pinpoint approximate coordinates for the crew. Later that night, Quincy took lessons in throwing harpoons but was interrupted by Alma, who was magically drowning and needed his help. Quincy tried various methods of expelling the water from her lungs to no avail. As Alma eventually vomited the last of the water, he noticed the captain walking away and told Orlando about the situation.

When the crew spotted a shipwreck, Quincy saw the path the beast had taken as it left the devastation it wreaked. Quincy asked Orlando who would take over if the captain died and suggested they speak to the first mate about inciting a mutiny due to Captain Herod's unhinged actions. As they sent Herod adrift in a longboat, he began chanting something in an unknown language but Quincy managed to cut him off by stuffing a handkerchief in his mouth.

When the ship arrived at the location Quincy had designated, he noticed something that appeared to be coral structures that weren't native to the area. He quickly realized it was underwater architecture: the ruins of Atlantis. He volunteered to take a boat out and dive into the area, diving so deeply that he discovered a mosaic mural of misshapen beasts and enormous winged creatures with barrel-like bodies and stalks for eyes. Quincy didn't quite comprehend the depth of his discovery but unknowingly gained knowledge of the Cthulhu mythos.

Almost as soon as he returned to the surface, a whale was spotted. Quincy immediately went into hunting mode and eagerly approached the creature to kill it, only to discover it wasn't an ordinary whale as several eyes emerged from its side. As it revealed itself, Quincy saw several mouths and tendrils and was so shocked that he became obsessed with trying to destroy it. He jumped off his boat and swam towards the lusca to attack it but was swallowed by the beast. While inside, he discharged every weapon he had and managed to escape through a hole blasted through the monster's flesh. Trying to injure the beast enough to make it retreat, he carved open a large gash in its side and discovered the deteriorating body of Captain Herod trapped inside it. Despite all odds, Quincy survived the encounter with minimal injury.

### 1852 (The Eldritch Continent)

The hunter later received word that his brother's shipwreck had been discovered with a map to an ancient temple. Wanting to upstage Quentin, he took his friends Ian and Valda to French Guinea in search of the treasures of Necropolis. While there, Quincy was shunned and feared by the locals who called him "the white devil". He was surprised to discover they were referring to his supposedly dead brother, now an undying monster that served other creatures terrorizing the village. The group killed Quentin twice, dismembering and burning the body in their second attempt to destroy him. In their final fight, Quincy was bitten by his brother and began to transform into a similar creature. His friends let him run off by himself, fearing they were in danger from his change and the Neptune Society later noted him to be missing.

### 1863 (First General Meeting)

A rather animalistic Quincy Ferrymore had apparently returned to London and made a pitch with his friends for the Neptune Society to fund an expedition deeper into Necropolis.

### 1866 (The Earth is a Box of Bees)

Over a decade after their first visit, the trio returned to Necropolis with funding and two new members. As they delved deeper into the temple, Quincy's transformation became overwhelming and he nearly turned on the group more than once. The group met a woman, Thawn, who told them Quincy's blood was corrupted by Mordiggian and that he had been chosen to inherit the earth when the true gods rose and the sun went out. Helen Klein attacked the woman, triggering Quincy into a feral state. Whilst in his wild state, he and Valda got separated from the others and didn't realize the ancient god Mordiggian had come to destroy them. Quincy was killed by the god and the final stage of his transformation began.
