The Quint Family:Barringer (Father)Feste (Parent)Oberth (Uncle)Val (Sister)Fryxell (Sibling)Capricie (Sister)

## Background Information

**Sanford Quid**, originally named **Sanford Quint**, was a Gridmask born into and later dropped from The Quint Family.

Sanford was born to Barringer and Feste, being their second child after sister Val, and before sibling Fryxell and sister Capricie. He grew up rather close with his sister Val during his childhood, and after her death at a young age by medical complications, he withdrew socially.

Into adulthood, he began to take up work as a hitman, and became rather adept at it. After being hired to eliminate a family friend as his assignment, he was disowned by his father, and lost the rights to his inheritance to Fryxell. Allegedly, he never went through with the assassination. From this point onward, being forced to drop the name, he went by the surname Quid.

Sanford was later tasked with assassinating Zaion.

### Appearance and Personality

Sanford is primarily characterized as being abrasive and quick to anger-- massively impatient, territorial, and judgemental. With few exceptions he is extremely distrustful of others and assumes the worst of them as quick as possible. He greatly prefers to be alone, as a result. He was raised to be considerate, so he often doesn't vocalize the extent of his disdain for others, but still communicates it very obviously.

Sanford's morals are shamelessly self-serving, to the point where his desire for comfort and pleasure easily outweigh the lives of others in his mind.

Sanford is above average height and fairly average weight. He has spiky, mid-length, somewhat messy black hair. His skin tone is a pale gray. He has green eyes, though, due to what was said to be an issue with his sight, he regularly wears goggles of the same color. He has a notable X-shaped scar on his face, reaching from parts of his hair along to parts of his cheekbones, with the center being in between his eyes. His signature weapon is a blade connected to a chain system going around his waist-- something he tries to keep on him at all times.

Sanford's main wardrobe consists of plain attire in mostly black and dark green, mostly to blend in with the darkness of the night and the green environments spanning almost all of South and North Gredile. His boots are designed for practical use, being easy to move around in and durable, but also quiet.

### Relationships

During his youth, Sanford had a reasonably healthy relationship with most of his immediate family, though he was particularly close with his sister Val. Following Val's death, his relationships faded, with his connections to his sibling Fryxell particularly souring due to the latter's aggressive outbursts.
