> ... You know what's worst about you..? Even if you are as cold as ice, distant like the Moon, mean and rude like anybody else, I can't.. I can't even walk away from you and leave you on your own. I don't know if you noticed but there's not many people who could handle your bad personality like I do, only idiots like Patland or delusional girls like Maddie would give it a miss!

Alexander Quinn, mostly called and known as Quinn, is one of the main characters of Gun Wounds. He is Michael's best and closest friend, he may be one the smartest policemen of their Police Station.

## Appearance

Quinn is not a tall man but he hides a well-built body under his clothes. He has bright blond and short hair, even his eyelashes are blond though they are clearer and more frail. His face is porcelain-like and his skin is very thin. His facial features are similar to women's and his tiny light blue eyes are as pure as jewelry. He has a small jaw but large waist.

Quinn tends to wear clean and formal clothes when not on duty, he basically wears shirts, jeans and tuxedos. He is a very classy man and his looks really matter to him. He is always clean on him but he only allows himself to wear messy clothes when he's alone at home where he feels at ease. He cannot bear to go out of his house non showered. Quinn likes to take care of each detail of his outfits.

## Personality

Quinn is a strategist, he is thoughtful and especially patient. He is very loyal to his friends, always accomplishes the tasks he was given and never disappoints anyone. Quinn is friendly with everyone and is known to be very diplomatic with his superiors and the colleagues he holds in high esteem. He is always polite and kind to every people he meets but, according to his old friends, he tends to be absolutely clumsy and nervous when it comes to love.

He is highly respected by his colleagues and seen as a great leader. He has a lot of qualities that could make him the head chief of the Boston Police Department but he succesively refused this offer. He does have the foul flaw of being too obstinate when he doesn't get exactly what he wants but in the end, he accepts defeats even if he suffers from it.

## Story

**Early Life**

His story is mostly unknown but through Bonus Chapter (No.1), it is revealed (by himself) that he met Michael Blake when they were at the Police Academy. According to him, they became friends after their first encounter but apart from that piece of information, little is said about Quinn's past before the police station or anything else in his life.

**Loyalty to Michael**

Quinn is known to be Michael's best friend and confident all over the police station but no one knows why he is so attached to such a gloomy man. During **Chapter 9: Explanations?**, Quinn says to Michael:*"[...]you know things about me that I can't even face myself, you are my friend[...]"* which implies that Michael might be aware of some of Quinn's secrets and past but only him can handle it. It might be the key to their relationship, the reason behind their loyalty.

**Quinn's Doubts**

Throughout the Arc 1, Quinn showed at multiple times doubts concerning Roméo Grriatz. When he and Stella Johnson destroyed Alban Carrucci's building and he and Patland had to clean their mess, he confessed to his colleague that he had a lot of doubts about Roméo's true identity. He believes that this huge violence does not reflect his true self and he explains later that he decided to cover him, not only to please Michael, but also because he is utterly convinced that Roméo's a victim as much as the others.

## Prologue

Quinn appears for the first time in **Chapter 1: Encounter** in the Police Station, he is called by Michael to interrogate Nick Carter, one of the criminals locked in the station's cells. After interrogating him, Quinn mentions some of Michael's issues, saying a few months ago he was "a mess", that Michael "relapsed" (unknown reason and activity) and he can't back him up anymore. He also talks about Maddie Wilson, one of their colleagues who's fond of Michael, who was searching him at Bill's Leaving Party before leaving Michael because Captain Firelet calls him to check a few files.

## Arc 1: Welcome to DrugCity

Michael meets Quinn in front of the Police Station during **Chapter 3: Debt** and asks him what happened when he was away. Quinn tells him that Danny Fidga's crew, the Vanguard 36, devastated the Police Station to free all of the prisoners that were locked in the police station's cells. However, every policeman on the site gets called by Captain Firelet to gather inside.

The Captain tells them that they have a new mission on their hands: to catch the escaped criminals. Owen Patland shouts his name and Quinn's to be part of this mission alongside Michael but when they arrive at the cafeteria after the crisis gathering, Quinn lectures Michael about his choice to be part of the mission but he ignores him without regretting his choice.

Later that day, Roméo Grriatz bumps into Michael and Quinn in front of their Police Station and Quinn starts to tease them because he noticed that they knew each other. He also explains to Roméo what happened to the Police Station.

In **Chapter 4: Comrade**, on a patrol to catch the recently escaped criminals, Quinn, Maddie, Patland and Michael are in a car whom Quinn is the driver. However, during their car ride, the tension between Michael and Maddie rises, Quinn doesn't say anything but he is feeling uncomfortable with Patland.

Days later, before the beginning of the ceremony in **Chapter 5: Unwanted Ceremony**, Quinn, Patland and Michael are grouped in the back of the ground, talking and watching the families of their colleagues. When Quinn learns about the way Michael treated Maddie, he gets upset and lectures him once more about his bad personality.

Confused, Patland asks Quinn what is the story behind Michael and Maddie's relationship and Quinn ends up telling him the whole story between them and the reason why Maddie became a policewoman. When Roméo arrives at the party, Quinn glances at Michael asking him if he's "already in love with somebody else?" which implies that Quinn already noticed that something was going on between them.

Seeing Michael and Roméo freely joking and looking so close already left Quinn and Patland speechless. On their way to the podium, Quinn asks Michael not to make a scene when his parents will be there. At the end of the ceremony, Quinn drags Michael, who tried to sneak out discreetly, to the after party. He is one of the witnesses of Michael's mother violence on him.

## Relationships

* Michael Blake - He is Quinn's best friend. Their duo may be the best of the station and their relation is almost perfect. Quinn admires Michael's strength on the field and enjoys hanging with him. Despite his cold self, he always gives in when it comes to Quinn. Even though their friendship went through turbulence (Chapter 9: Explanations) they always end up reconciling despite what kind of issues they have been through.

* Owen Patland - He is one of Quinn's closest friends yet he's not considered as his best friend. Quinn really enjoys hanging with Patland and is close enough to him to drag him into dangerous missions such as the raid in the Brickerstorm factory they are planning to do. They are seen few times together and always described as good and close friends. Quinn seems to put many trust in Patland which is reciprocal.

* Maddie Wilson - She is one of Quinn's colleagues at the Boston Police Department. They don't have many interactions together but since Quinn is naturally kind and nice with everyone, their relation is half professional, Quinn believes Maddie has a place in their line of work and he even defend her when Michael starts to denigrate her efficiency, and half private, they do see each other out of their work such as when they both went to Michael's apartment to look for him.

* Carl Horton - He is another colleague of Quinn but the nature of their relationship remains mostly unknown, they don't talk much together but Quinn is always kind and friendly to him. He cares about his complicated situation and is even named in charge of his protection by Michael.

* Captain Firelet - He is Quinn's superior. Their relationship is purely professional yet they do get along well and Quinn tends to be familiar with him when they speak in private. He considers Firelet as his mentor and holds him in high esteem. He is his model.

* Roméo Grriatz - He is mostly a stranger to Quinn, he doesn't know much about him except the fact Michael seems to really care about him, enough to let him stay at his place for a while. Quinn seems to be suspecting something about their relationship.

* Nick Carter - He is one of Quinn's enemies by default and Quinn seems to know a lot about him. Since Carter is a criminal, he and Michael has the habit to treat every cases involving Carter. However, he sees him as a random criminal and does not trust him at all.

* Danny Fidga - He is one of Quinn's enemies by default, they haven't met yet.

* David Martinez - He is one of Quinn's enemies by default, they haven't met yet. However, Quinn seems to know a lot about him, moreover, he is seen looking for information on him to give them to Michael. He is even planning to do a raid in his factory, the BrickerStorm factory even if this idea does not delights Michael at all.
