| HISTORY |
| Origin: Found, just after he was born, abandoned on the steps of the Alpha City Children’s home. Soon he was adopted by Art and Gwen LaPointe. He and given the name Quade. He led a relatively happy and normal life, then at age eight he learned of his adoption. It was after this revelation that he first heard “the voice”. This disembodied spirit seemingly spoke only to him. As he grew older his “Sage” taught his (alleged) true origins. That he was born on an imperiled other-dimensional world. The “Sage” also taught him the morals and ethical heritage of his birth and of his destiny to serve mankind (prompted by Sage, he begins martial arts training). Apparently given to thoughts of heroic grandeur and flights of fancy. He is diagnosed with a unique form of Quixote Syndrome. At age sixteen , to appease his concerned parents, he enters mental therapy.
During his stay in therapy, his parents are tragically killed and his brother’s body lost after a mysterious accident. Shattered by the loss of his family, he remains in therapy until age eighteen. On his own at eighteen he legally changes his name to Qui’ote Five, and opens Status Q Fugitive Retrievals. Significant issues: Master Anarchy gains power in the country of Nargania; During a routine fugitive retrieval, he meets, small time criminal, Monroe Biggman.
