Quinn appears (when he's not in his preferred animal shapes) as a nearly middle-aged weathered man of slim build. He carries a simple walking staff and wears home-made natural clothes.

[sblock=Background]
Quinn sees himself as a protector in the Borderlands, most specifically in the Old Forrest. He was born to a hunter and his wife who scrounged a living in the natural world, his father having left the comforts of the city life and all the complications of living there behind.
His mother was nurturing and had been a scholar back in Northwarden before the family left. His mother taught him all about the natural world, how to care for the creatures and plants of the world. His father taught Quinn the value of treating nature with respect, only taking that which you need. He also showed the young man how to forage, where it was safe to sleep, and how to keep alert for the lurking dangers of the woods.
Quinn's first 20 or so years were relatively easy and mundane, he hunted, fished, tended their garden, and maintained the family home. However, it was not to last. During a solitary hunting trip, where Quinn had been struggling to sneak up on any deer, a group of bandits stumbled upon his family's home and thought it easy pickings. His father slew two of them before the rest overwhelmed him.
Quinn returned home to find the remains of his parents lying on the floor of the ransacked home. The young man broke down at the sight as his perfect world crashed down around him. After many hours of tears, Quinn heard someone behind him, thinking the murderers had returned, the young man turned and charged at the newcomer. The elderly man in front of him caused Quinn to pull up short, although the man appeared unconcerned at Quinn's threatening action.
The elderly man described himself as a defender of the forest. He offered Quinn the chance to use nature's power to ensure this kind of action could be dealt with. Quinn nodded and so their training began. Quinn lost count of how many years he spent with the older man, but after the other's peaceful death, Quinn laid him to rest in his grove and ventured out into the world.
He had wandered through the wilds of the Borderlands, protecting travellers from bandits and other darker denizens of the forest. Recently, he had heard that the Lord of the North was looking for people to travel to the Unclaimed lands and deal a blow against the criminals there. Quinn saw it as a chance to strike against, what he hoped, was a larger threat to innocent people.
