HISTORY

Prisoner of Cell 25

Quentin is first introduced at the Elgen academy as class president and one of the most popular students. It is implied he might have a crush on Tara, even though Hatch forbids romantic relationships. During Michael Vey's escape Quentin and the enemy Glows pursue them.

Rise of the Elgen

Quentin forms a rivalry with Torstyn, and a possible love triangle with Tara, Torstyn and he. He travels to the Amazon with the rest of Hatch's glows.

Battle of the Ampere

Quentin helps Hatch take over the Ampere, the floating headquarters of the Elgen corporation, with the rest of the Glows on Hatch's side. Afterwards Hatch makes Quentin his apprentice, his heir, and the new official second-in-command of the Elgen, just below him. 

Hunt for Jade Dragon 

After the Electroclan destroy the Ampere, Quentin, along with the rest of the Elgen Elite, takes up residence on the Faraday. Hatch puts him in charge of gaurding Jade Dragon. During the Electroclan's escape from the Taiwanese Starxource Plant, Quentin, along with Tara, is defeated, and temporarily tortured, by Nichelle. 

Storm of Lightning 

Quentin hears from Bryan that Hatch has had Welch arrested and sentenced to death for the Electroclan's succesful rescue of Jade Dragon, as an example to the rest of the Elgen. Since Welch was like a father to Quentin, Quentin is horrified by this news, and he realizes, and points out to Torstyn,Tara,Bryan, and Kylee, that since he was in charge of gaurding Jade Dragon, he, or any of them, might be next, much to their alarm. Quentin refuses to let Welch die and, with Torstyn and Tara's help visits Welch in the Faraday's brig. After Welch confirms to Quentin of his impending fate Quentin officially decides to overthrow Hatch and take control of the Elgen, pointing out to the other Glows that Hatch is always talking about the extermination of the Nonels but Hatch, himself is a Nonel, causing Quentin to reason that Hatch is inferior to them. Quentin, with the help of Torstyn and Tara, who uses her powers to disguise Welch, manages to escort Welch off the ship allowing Welch to escape. During the book it's revealed that Quentin's obviously in a romantic relationship with Tara. After the Elgen take over Tuvalu, Hatch officially makes Quentin the new King of the nation, which Hatch renames as "The Hatch Islands", after himself, although Quentin is perfectly aware that he's just a puppet dictator, and that Hatch is technically the new ruler of the The Hatch Islands. After Hatch finally finds out about Quentin's betrayal and planned mutiny, Hatch, enraged, has all 5 Elgen Glows, including Quentin, arrested and imprisoned. Hatch sentences Quentin to spend the rest of his life imprisoned in a monkey cage. Although he at first begs for mercy, Quentin then mocks Hatch and says; "I would do it again." As a result, Hatch has Quentin sent to Cell 25.
