Quentin was born in the back of a Miami night club on March 4th, 1994. His mother exchanged him for drugs at a young age which opened a door for a life of violence and crime.

Quentin's "father" was a deadbeat who sold drugs locally and continuously abused him throughout his childhood.

At a young age, Quentin found himself continuously relying on low-level crime to survive.

When he was 15, he decided to burglarize a home south of Miami. Quentin did not realize there was someone home, and the event ended in gunfire, resulting in the home owner shot dead.

 

He pleaded guilty was convicted as a minor to 9 years in prison. 

Quentin met a Russian man named Yuri about 5 years into his sentence. Yuri found himself in prison for smuggling drugs into the US from Puerto Rico. 

This Yuri fella was one hell of a guy, with a whole lot of connections. Quentin spent the rest of his sentence learning about his trade, even after Yuri said he was never going back into it again.

Over the course of Quentin's incarceration, they became friends.

 

After his sentence, Quentin was 24 years old. Yuri was only in prison for 4 years... He always said he had good lawyers.

They left on a trip to Russia together to see Yuri's home in early 2019 shortly after their release. It took all of the cash that they had, but they eventually crossed the Bering Straight from Alaska before the nationwide lockdowns began.

 

Its 2020, Quentin finds himself in North Eastern Russia, in a small community right on the border of Finland.

All Quentin had in his possession was a pack of reds, a lighter, and his backpack, filled with an assortment of food and other items he deemed useful. 

After his buddy, Yuri, passed away in a tragic accident in late 2020, he decides to pack his things an head across the border into Finland.

 

He doesn't stop.

 

It is now early 2022, Quentin has traveled  as far north as he can, and he ends up in a region called Nyheim.
