Biography
By reading the dossier on Quinn in the first book, as well as by learning her intimate secrets if the player enters a romantic relationship with her, the player can learn that due to Quinn's Rotterdam Syndrome - a chronic, terminable, incurable and extremely rare disease - her family was bankrupted and her parents driven to divorce trying to fight it.

The first indirect "appearance" of Quinn's father was during the flashback portion of Quinn's Catalyst Idol scene in the fifth chapter of Book 2. While he does not appear in person, this scene shows Quinn getting increasingly upset and frustrated by her estranged parents bickering and using her as a vector to attack the other parent. She eventually dropped her phone in a fountain, fed up with it. This scene reveals the stress and sadness her disease brought her.

He appears in person during Quinn's Ember scene in Book 3; however, this scene is of a hypothetical future. In this scene, he is giving a speech in a school. Alongside his daughter, he is shown to have started a philanthropic organization to help people suffering from chronic illnesses.
