Growing up the only child of a hard-working single mother in a dangerous neighborhood meant Quentin had plenty of time to develop his imagination; he would spend hours pretending to be characters he had seen in movies or on television. Then one day while pretending to be a pirate Quentin found he could make a broken broom handle look like an actual cutlass; eventually he was covering himself with a costumes and creating images out of thin air. Although he initially kept his powers secret, soon it became obvious there was only one place for someone with Quentin’s tremendous talents . . . Hollywood! However, until such time as he’s discovered, Quentin will just have to be content with going to Claremont.
Quentin is a high-energy, creative type forever working on his illusions; he provides the special effects for school plays and concerts and holds performances, live or recorded, of his own works. Always on the lookout for cool things to incorporate into his illusions Quentin is never without his DV camera and laptop. Unsurprisingly, except for Demetrius Kuzkin’s drama classes, Quentin has trouble paying attention in class and has been known to absentmindedly manifest his daydreams. While this exasperates many of his teachers, Jeremiah Elias, the school’s history teacher, has come up with a novel way of dealing with this by having Quentin recreate famous historical scenes for the class.
Quentin is an inveterate prankster and had an on-again-off-again rivalry with Anthony Andrews (aka Whoop-Ant) to see who the school’s greatest joker was.

Special abilities
Quentin uses his powers to create ordinary illusions up to the size of a house, short-circuit an opponent’s senses, create an illusion capable of inflicting psychosomatic harm (he often creates an illusory “super” version of himself for this sort of thing), or create multiple shifting illusionary duplicates to confuse opponents’ aim. Sadly, experience and training have shown him that the simpler (read: boring) illusions tend to be the more effective ones.
