## History

Quinn comes from a harsh homeland that drenched in the blood of war. Although his family was the reigning power they had to fight constantly to keep it. To add to the harshness of his homeland, the ritual for passing on the barony to the next son that would be Baron was hard for some to understand. When the time was right, the son would challenge the father to honorable one on one combat, to the death. As his father before him, Quinn challenged his father and in savage duel, killed him and became the new Baron of his lands. During his barony, Quinn fought off several incursions to take his lands. Quinn was a deadly adversary, who trained his most trusted to be just as deadly as he was.

Shortly after establishing his place as Baron, Quinn married to a woman who was strong and steadfast, a good match for a man like Quinn. After only being married a year, Quinn learned of a plot to overthrow him. As it turned out, the woman he married had been sent there to get inside the barony and take Quinn out when his guard was lowered. After finding this out Quinn became enraged and killed the woman for her treachery. In these lands such a thing was not taken lightly and such a trespass was met with a swift and righteous death. This hardened Quinn and turned him onto another path.

In the two years that followed Quinn led a bloody war on the surrounding lands. One by one these lands fell to Quinn and his armies. Quinn would kill their leaders and their families to make a point and those lands then came under the rule of his barony. This was until a curse came across all the lands of Faerun. To spare his people of this curse and more over.. to protect himself from this curse.. Quinn set out with a group of adventurers to find the source of the curse and destroy it.

Quinn and his misfit band of comrades delved deep into the jungles of Chult but before they could get to the source of the curse they were ambushed by creatures known as Yuan-ti. Quinn and his friends were losing the fight when Quinn was suddenly torn away.. rifted to another world. He is haunted by the thought that his comrades died because he was taken from them in such a dire moment. As their protector, he blames himself for their plight even though it was beyond his control.

Since arriving in Osteria, Quinn has made significant changes in his life. Reflecting on who he was before, he has chosen a nobler path to follow, trying to do good and leave behind his more wicked desires. He has made friends and allies in and out of the city and has found work at the Minotaur's Hoof encampment. He started out with simple physical labor at the Hoof, but has since moved on to training many of its inhabitants in the art of combat. He trains these people not only to protect themselves and the camp, but to also use this training in performances. His hard work has paid off as it turns out, as he has since become the camps, Master of Arms.

Probably the most significant things to happen to Quinn since arriving, and the thing that has helped me not stray from his current path, is meeting the love of his life, Enna. Since the two have met they struck a chord with each other and formed a harmonious relationship of support and unconditional love. Quinn has never been happier in his entire life, and strives to continue to be a better man for his new life with his beloved wife to be.

Quinn is now married to his beloved wife, Enna. The two are happier than ever and continue to build their life together. They own a cabin by the lake where they live along with Quinn's faithful celestial steed, Sunstrider, Enna's horse, Midnight, and their newly adopted kitten, Talon.
