He turned to scavenging and small-time thievery, until he broke into a mid-hive hab that belonged to the Order of the Golden Dawn, a small relatively benign occultist cabal using minor warpcraft and psy-tricks to improve their own lot in life. Captured, he impressed their Chief Magus enough that he was taken on as an apprentice to them, and to their delight developed certain psy-gifts. Eventually the cabal grew rich enough that the Adeptus Arbites caught onto them (something that Quintus made sure of), and the Magus decided to flee Scintilla and the Imperium altogether, taking Quintus with him on a voyage to Footfall in the Expanse. At Footfall, Quintus managed to give the old magus the slip, and remained hidden until the old man had booked passage out onto some other world. Quin had never lost himself during his years of indentured servitude to the Order of the Golden Dawn, and alone on Footfall set about using all his skills to carve out a comfortable life for himself as an underworld fixer and info-dealer. But his desperate origins gnawed at him, and after a few years "comfortable" was no longer enough: he needed cash enough that nothing would ever pose a real problem to him again. He was sick of the threat of narco-gangers, hive enforcers, oppressive mentors and the rules of occultism, and anyone else that thought they were stronger than he was clever. And so he threw his net wide, and waited for the golden opportunity. ===Hooks=== *Quin wasn't on Scintilla long enough to find out what the ultimate fate of the Order of the Golden Dawn was, so he doesn't know whether the Arbites were successful in their prosecution or what any surviving members might think about his flight from Hive Sibellus - or whether they worked out his hand in their discovery. *He also doesn't know whether the Arbites managed to gain any incriminating evidence on him. It's possible that he's on one of their priority lists. *His mentor, Orden Giszenar, is somewhere out there in the Expanse, and presumably doesn't look too kindly on Quin's abandoning him. *He's never had any truck with daemonology (the Order thought it too dangerous), though that doesn't mean that there isn't an entity out there somewhere that's seen his soul burning bright in the Empyrean, and has a plan. *Being any kind of underworld figure on Footfall is a dangerous prospect. He's certainly got enemies there. Once he accidentally crossed a particularly vicious narco-gang leader, Gnaw-Tooth Zaera, and the ensuing jihad cost him his right arm and mangled his torso, forcing him to expend a great deal of his Thrones on bionic reconstruction. He still hasn't forgiven Zaera for that, though he hasn't taken revenge on her. Yet. *During his time in the Order of the Golden Dawn he was educated in all manner of occult knowledge. Maybe one day something the Order only ever whispered about in awed tones will surface, somewhere in the Expanse, and Quin will be perfectly placed to take it and turn it to profit.
