## Employee Handbook

**Pump Quinn — Production and Management Intern**

Ever since childhood, Pump has been a big fan of Death's career. Their room at their parents' house is plastered with posters of Death, Inc.'s founder at the height of his power. It also contains a collection of merchandise of all types, from the most common to the rarest of limited-edition collector's items. A graduate of the Sepulchral School of Eternal Vanity Management (SSEVM), Pump had their sights set on an internship with Death, Inc. Thanks to a lot of determination (and insistence), Pump found a place managing the agenda of Death himself! This news made it the second-greatest day of their non-life.

Pump is passionate about Death's work and has shown such great and pure fervor that mystical powers have awakened in their subconscious. Pump is truly gifted at teleportation, which should be a huge asset to the boss, even though the other employees like to take advantage of it to make Pump bring them koffees. Likewise, Pump can fully regenerate, even if you squish their pumpkin head! Handy. Pump secretly dreams of developing a brand, just like they were taught in school. Taking inspiration from the very best, wearing a hooded cloak, using a killer name — why not *Pump Quinn, the Jack -o' -Lantern Supreme*?

The circumstances of Pump Quinn's death are troubling. According to Patrick, Pump's soul couldn't have been more than nine years old when they showed up at reception. Below is an excerpt from a comment written in the personal statement box on the death registration form: *"*I'm really good at hide-and-seek, you know! When I was playing at school, I could hide for hours and hours before anyone would find me. I don't remember much about my last game, though. I think I hid in a trash bag. It was really tough to tie the knot from the inside. And then there were some funny noises, a super bright light, then ... I don't really remember!*"*

## Trivia

* Pump Quinn's gender has always been a mystery, Magic Design has either Confirmed, Disprove or even Retconed this, it changed between languages and even sources:
	+ In the English translation, Quinn is He/Him, Male;
	+ In the Spanish translation, official wiki and official twitter post, Quinn is She/Her, Female;
	+ In the German translation, Quinn is She/Her, Female at first, but changes to He/Him, Male after Death's vacation;
	+ And in their entry, it is They/Them.
* They maybe be a reference to the Halloween myth Stingy Jack (also known as "Jack -o' -Lantern"), a mortal trickster unwanted in both Heaven and Hell due to his sinful actions and for tricking the Devil twice to not take his soul, resulting him to roam the Earth endlessly with a lighten turnip (the turnip would later inspire to use pumpkins as Jack -o' -Lanterns). Since Pump Quinn has a pumpkin for a head and can never die, this is very likely.
