Quinn Winsalan-Goldgrain

Saint Quinn Winsalan Dorath Goldgrain (a.k.a. Former King of Liaris, King of Elsmont, Captain)

Quinn was born on the deck of a ship, off the coast of the continent, Vopadalor. His father, a sailor, took him to a coastal city in Costrana and left him with the caretakers of a Temple of Heironeous. When Quinn was 14, he escaped and left the teachings of honor and valor behind. He lived on the streets for years, and at the age of 18, he found himself brawling for money. He grew up as a rogue and later met with a group of other During his years in the city of Hollylock, Quinn studied sailing as much as he could, in hopes that he would be able to one day find his way back to his father.     Quinn found himself traveling on and off with a party in his late 20's. In this time, he met a number of other adventurers. He formed some valuable friendships with some of them, including Quirek, Saelethil, and Meliodas. Due to his connections to the Liaris children, he often ended up tangled in the political discourse of the legendary floating city. Thanks to some heroics in the dethroning of Rose Liaris, Quinn was recognized as a saint to the people of the city.   On one quest, Quinn made his way to the crime hub of Elsmont. It was a "city" north of Liaris that Saelethil was hoping to make an alliance with. To do this, Quinn was required to fight the Imperetor of the city. Quinn handily defeated him and was crowned king on the spot. He set up a democratic council within the city and left them to themselves, but not before establishing trade with Liaris.  
  Later questing led Quinn to a den of criminals who were holding a number of lycanthropes captive. Quinn rescued them and made his way to safety only to be stopped by the Alpha of the pack. The werewolf challenged Quinn, who was never one to turn down a fight. Quinn defeated the alpha and became the pack's new dominant figure. He would later call upon their help in the Battle of Liaris.   His questing led him to Dragongard, a city that was home to The Chieftain, a legendary half-dragon warmonger. After Dragongard declared war on Liaris (specifically Saelethil declaring war on his own city), Quinn swore to stand by his friends in defense of the city. He fought valiantly and helped save many citizens. As Quinn stood in defense of the portal, he ushered the Liaris twins to go through. They would not. Meliodas handed him the crown. With a handshake from Meliodas and a nod from Saelethil, who had a change of heart, Quinn saluted before stepping back through the portal. He turned his back as the portal closed. He stood alongside the remaining members of the party and looked out over the ocean. The Valient Crusade's naval forces were directly below the city, as Duskgarde's pirate military made a retreat. The citizens of Liaris stood on a grass hilltop, overlooking the battle. Quinn smiled as the city began to fall, knowing that the Liaris family had sacrificed themselves to save their people.   After the fall of Liaris, Quinn was made leader of the city. He lead the citizens to the south, where they took refuge in a Dwarven city east of Dragongard. He established a council for the remaining citizens and placed himself on it. He later left under circumstances mysterious to those of Liaris.   Quinn was last seen taking care of Meliodas' nephew, Cassius.

Quinn and the Outer Planes:  
  Quinn, Planestrider     Quinn's search for Cassius lead him through the astral sea and into other planes of existence. After watching mindflayers escape Merriby Main with the young Liaran child of Meliodas, Quinn ran after them without thinking. He found himself on the other side of a portal. Looking out over a new, chaotic, alien landscape, he knew there was no going back. The mindflayers knew that Quinn was in pursuit, but payed him little mind. They estimated that the natural dangers of the outer planes would kill Quinn long before they would have to. Quinn simply pushed forward after them, following their trail as best he could. Afloat in the astral sea, he encountered the forgotten carcasses of dead celestials. He saw things that he found hard to comprehend. This was not a place for mortals. Massive lumbering beasts drifted far in the distance, their sheer mass comparable to the city of Liaris as a whole.   Quinn's trek led him after the mindflayers for 2 years. To him, however, the quest seemed to last less than half that amount of time. The planar time difference warped Quinn's mind, and as he became accustomed to the bizarre nature of this new reality, he found it difficult to recall the events of his past. Memories were becoming fuzzy vignettes to him. But his goal drew nearer. On this journey, he slayed a great number of creatures that stood in his path. Quinn tracked down the mindflayers. They asked him why he had come so far for so little. Quinn was unable to remember. It seemed the mindflayers had erased some of his memories. They were not capable of erasing his emotions, however. He knew he still had a deep contempt for them. They made the first move, striking Quinn with a mind blast. He was thrown backwards towards the planar abyss that surrounded him. Quinn righted himself, charging towards the creatures with an inhuman aggression. He killed them all, stomping their remains until no particle was distinguishable from another.   Quinn found that upon slaying the creatures, his memory returned. Wordlessly, he pulled Cassius into a tight hug. He rose to his feet and prepared to make his trek back when he felt a strong presence from behind him. He turned. Quinn stood before 4 elder Ulitharids, extraplanar beings with godly abilities. In their final moments, the beings had summoned help. The Ulitharids were unsympathetic to Quinn's plight. They wanted the child to fuel their power. Beaten and bruised, Quinn refused to give up the child.  
  Quinn smiled at them. "You are making the same mistake that these lovely fellows did" he said, gesturing to the pile of grey mush at his feet. "Underestimating a mortal." Quinn grabbed Cassius and cast Planeshift, escaping the grasp of the beasts. He often finds his sleep plagued by nightmares of these creatures. He knows that one day, they will come find him.
