## Background

### Pre-series

Quinn and her sister Avery were daughters of commander Ergon and an unnamed Infinity Guard member. They were trained from their childhood by their mother, Commander Ergon for their future career in the Infinity Guard. Quinn and her sister always got into sibling rivalry because Avery's reckless desire to surpass her. Her mother favored her over Avery and tried her best to groom her to take her place as commander in the future even if means using drastic measures to harden her like locking her in the morgues to remind her not to let her comrades or her sister to die in the battlefield and she is responsible for their life.

When Quinn and Avery reached adulthood, Quinn became commander and had difficult controlling Avery who often disobeyed her order due to jealously of Quinn's rising in ranks. In one fierce battle, Avery sacrificed herself against the enemy force to prove that she is better than Quinn much to Quinn's sorrow.

Five years prior to the start of the series, Quinn met Gary Goodspeed in a bar in New York. She was already an Infinity Guard captain at this point, and scribbling something on a napkin. To impress her, Gary stole the uniform from a pilot and pretended to be a pilot himself, but was discovered when he was forced to actually fly a spaceship. When Quinn discovered the fraud, she knocked him out and handed him over to the authorities. She forgot about him afterwards, and never received any of the messages he send her while serving a prison sentence on the Galaxy One.

### Season 1

In season 1, Quinn discovered there was a breach in Time/Space near Earth, but none of her superiors in the Infinity Guard were willing to listen to her. Determined to prove her story, she decided to go rogue and do her own investigation. The Infinity Guard thus ordered her to be arrested. She was captured by a Infinity Guard Imperium Cruiser commanded by Chuck. She showed him the breach, but before Chuck could act the whole ship was sucked into the breach and destroyed. Only Quinn escaped with an escape pod, which was picked up by the Galaxy One. She thus met Gary again, along with his new friend Avocato.

With Gary and Avocato's help, Quinn continued her investigation. Her research led them to Infinity Guard Outpost - 0439. Here Quinn discovered the real reason her superiors tried to stop her; the Infinity Guard had been corrupted and joined the Lord Commander. They created the breach for him, by using a giant laser to fire plasmic energy into the breach, which was revealed to be a gateway to Final Space. Quinn learned from Superior Stone that her own scribblings were used to build the laser, thus making Quinn an unwilling accomplish. With Gary, Avocato and Mooncake's help, she managed to destroy the laser, but this didn't close the breach.

Quinn still had trouble trusting Gary, even after H.U.E. showed her all of his video messages. Her distrust of him was further fueled when, after the death of Avocato at the hands of the Lord Commander, Gary almost got Avocato's son Little Cato killed as well in an ill-prepared attempt to take revenge. She only warmed up to him again when an alternate version of herself from the future, Nightfall, warned her what would happen if she tried to close the breach on her own.

Thanks to Nightfall, the team met the titan Bolo and through him learned they needed an Anti-matter bomb to close the breach. With unexpected help from Tribore and The Resistance, they managed to retrieve such a bomb from Earth. During the mission, she finally began to show feelings towards Gary, and the two even had a first date. Quinn convinced Gary to let her take the bomb into the breach and close it, promising him she would come back. However, from the start she knew that the mission would be a one-way trip, and just before closing the breach, she tearfully said goodbye to Gary.

### Season 2

Due to her sacrifice in Season 1, Quinn is largely absent in Season 2, although she is mentioned frequently throughout by members of the Team Squad, notably Gary and Nightfall. In "The Closer You Get", Tribore picks up a message from her and passes it on to the Team Squad. The message is severely corrupted by an unknown kind of radiant energy. This prompts Gary to try and contact her through the Clearwater pools on Kanopus Prime. He succeeds, but discovers Quinn's message was a warning to the team not to come look for her, since Final Space is dangerous. She is proven right when Gary is promptly attacked and possessed by Invictus.

Quinn is next seen in the last scene of "The Sixth Key", where Gary finds her unconscious body floating around in Final Space among dozens of dead, alternate versions of himself.

### Season 3

In ...And Into The Fire, Gary found Quinn in Final Space but it was a trap by Invictus. She had final space poisoning but she was saved by celenium that the crew found. She was worried that she might become nightfall. Then Sheryl responds that every choice and sacrifice we make creates our future.
