Quinnten was born to an average family of farmers. He had a normal childhood, where he was only focused on being a farmer that would one day take over his family farm. He didn't dream about having grand adventures, looting massive coffers, or travelling to strange far off places. He was content in his place in life, and that's where he wanted to stay. However, that all changed one day when Quinn was cleaning out the stables at the end of the night. He was about to blow out the candle that he had lit, when a great burst of flame erupted from his mouth instead. Panicking, Quinn managed to get all of the animals out of the stables before the fire consumed it. That was the first and very overt demonstration of something that was happening to him. Over the next week, dozens of other, smaller events occurred that cemented in Quinn's mind that he was the cause. This was especially apparant when he could actually the fire breathing.

Vowing to rid himself of this power, Quinn left his farm in search of anyone or anything that could help him. But it wasn't too long that he found out that the coin that he had spent his life collecting, didn't last that long away from his home. So Quinn found himself taking odd jobs, here and there, like a blacksmith assistant or deliverying a letter. It wasn't until after an encounter with a group of brigands that Quinn thought of leveraging his powers to get more dangerous, but high paying employment. Plus, people in those circles tend to rub elbows with the strange and Quinn might be able to find some rumour to follow to eventually rid him of his curse.
