Anton Quinn (Earth-101)

## Courier 6

**Anton Quinn** was a pre-war ghoul cowboy, courier, scientist, and owner of the Lucky 38/"sheriff" of New Vegas.

## Personality

Quinn is usually lighthearted and easygoing, with a dry sense of humor, likely due to his age.

Despite his appearance, Quinn is very charismatic, with a silver tongue that has gotten him out of many violent situations. He has laid with many human men and women, who were able to look past the peeling skin and rotting flesh thanks to his charm.

While he has no problem with killing when necessary, he usually prefers diplomacy over violence, especially when dealing with large groups of enemies. Some exceptions have been made, especially regarding Caesar's Legion and more despicable individuals, such as Saint James.

Being over two hundred years old, Quinn has accumulated a vast wealth of knowledge from reading pre-war books and magazines to pass the time. He is highly intelligent, with great proficiency in energy weapons, hacking, and chemistry, and has advanced medical training that made him a valuable member of the Followers of the Apocalypse.

Quinn believes that the only way humanity can truly progress is to leave the past behind and stop clinging to Old World values, and to instead evolve and develop their own ideas. He views groups such as the NCR and Mr. House as repeating the mistakes of failed civilizations, and thus doomed to fail. He had a vague sense of this after the Great War, having seen humanity end itself over paranoia spawned from ancient grudges, but his adventures in the Sierra Madre, Big M.T, Zion Canyon, and the Divide made this an unshakeable value of his.

## Companions

Although most of the courier's companions have moved on after their adventures in 2281, ED-E and Rex have stayed with him thick and thin.

## History

In 2277, he was hired by the NCR to deliver a mysterious package to Hopeville. Unbeknownst to him, the package was actually a piece of technology salvaged from the Enclave - an ICBM detonator, to be more specific. Hopeville and Ashton were ravaged by missiles shortly after, turning the Divide into a hellish no man's land. Quinn's life ended and began with nuclear fire, and now so did another courier's.

## Trivia

* The Courier has since gained the trust of the lobotomites in the Big MT, as in they don't shoot him anymore. Though their minds are beyond repair, the Courier has learned that they are vaguely capable of learning, and have helped him with experiments and rebuilding/cleaning up the Big MT.
* He prefers Sunset Sasparilla over Nuka Cola, but he can tolerate Nuka Cola Victory or Wild as substitutes. He also acquired a taste for Sierra Madre Martinis during his stay in the Sierra Madre, partially thanks to his dulled senses, being a ghoul.
	+ As for alcohol, he enjoys Atomic Cocktail, Roentgen rum, Gamma Gulp beer, and Rum & Nuka.
	+ He isn't very picky food-wise, thanks to his deadened sense of taste and smell, but he does enjoy a good squirrel on a stick and radscorpion casserole.
	+ He's also tried drinking the radioactive isotope inside the REPCONN rocket souvenirs more than a few times. Mostly out of boredom, since he owns hundreds of the things.
* His main loadout consists of the Stealth Suit Mk. II underneath the Desert Ranger combat armor, holorifle, Pew Pew, and a ballistic fist.
* He kept the artificial brain, heart, and spine given to him by the Think Tank. Additionally, he purchased every implant available from the Followers of the Apocalypse, which were replicated as needed by the Think Tank.
* He has a large teddy bear collection.
