what does he know off Gareth Porthglaze ?
Quinn's known Gareth since the gladiator first arrived in Carnell. The usually jovial man is in his early forties; he stands about 5 and a half feet tall and has a bit of a gut. While he's not a bear of a man, he's still quite sturdy. Still, from what you know of him, he's spent as much time on a bar stool as watching over Carnell from his post.
The sheriff used to adventure with Timmins and several other locals years ago. The two of them were the front-line fighters of the group, although that adventuring group wasn't renown. Most of their adventures were local and short-lived, and the rest of their friends either left the area or died fighting monsters. That was more than 15 years ago.
Timmins Walmsley has been known in the region for quite some time. He's 10 years older than his friend Gareth and was killing dangerous beasts while Gareth was still learning to use a sword as a boy. He took Gareth and his friends under his wing, and they had some success together. He's not as strong or spry as he used to be but he's still good with a longsword and a shortbow, as long as he doesn't lead the charge. Ol' Timmins, as the youngsters call him, stands over 6 feet tall but he is very lean in his twilight years.

Just my thoughts, but I would like to have Quintin, Brutus and maybe the twins. I would like to know if Timmons would keep his ear to the ground for that other wererat in the local area and report to the shireiff.
Timmins has his heart set on going with you, so you'll have to convince him to stay behind (Bluff or Diplomacy). If he does, then Gareth isn't likely to go either. They consider themselves a team. If Timmins goes, Gareth won't stay behind, especially since he'd have to explain it to Lady Pendour.
While Timmins' not much for information gathering, he's a bit of a survivalist. He can beat the bushes to try to find the other wererat while your PCs are gone, and he doesn't answer to Sir Ghal since he's retired from active duty as a guard. (He retired from that life nearly 8 years ago.)
