Well, I am a huge advocate for distraction. My whole life has been one long distraction.

Physical appearance[]

Quentin is a Caucasian male of short stature. He has greying hair and often wears beach suits.

Biography[]

Background[]

There is some element of doubt over the truth of Quentin's background. He claims to have inherited his property in Palermo, Sicily, through a distant relative. He begrudges the cost of the upkeep.

Quentin also reveals that he was only ever in love once. On a hedonistic trip around the Americas, Quentin met a cowboy whom he fell in love with. However, the cowboy was straight and uninterested in Quentin. This led Quentin to swear-off falling in love ever again. Quentin is the uncle of Jack, indicating he had siblings.

The White Lotus[]

After Tanya's husband, Greg, leaves her alone in Sicily, she is approached by Quentin who treats her with kindness and offers her friendship. Charmed by his wit and class, Tanya begins to trust him. Quentin then invites Tanya and her assistant, Portia, to his property in Palermo. Tanya then meets Quentin's friends.

Tanya is shown the depths of Sicilian expat high-society, where she is taken by Quentin to see Madama Butterfly, whom Quentin compares her to. Tanya is then invited to a party hosted by Quentin, where she takes cocaine with Quentin's "friend" (a mafia-affiliated drug dealer). Tanya discovers a gun in the dealer's bag, but in her drunken state is unfazed, and sleeps with him.

One evening, Tanya is awoken by strange noises in the villa, where she discovers Quentin and his nephew, Jack, having sex. Tanya is mortified and tries to tell Portia without revealing too much so as not to upset her. It is revealed by Jack to Portia that Quentin groomed Jack and uses him for sex so that Jack is able to have financial security.

Portia discovers through Jack that something is due to happen to Tanya, and informs Tanya of this. The pair discover that Greg had enlisted in Quentin (who was possibly Quentin's anonymous cowboy) to kill her and steal her inheritance due to a prenup. Mortified, Tanya spends the rest of the day on their yacht, and attempts to leave. However, Quentin informs her she cannot leave and must stay as it is their final night. Uncomfortable, Tanya bides her time. The drug dealer arrives, and realises she is going to be killed that evening and will not be able to leave.

Tanya feigns the need to use the bathroom, and steals the drug dealer's bag and runs into a bedroom. Quentin knocks on the door, which is eventually broken down by the drug dealer. In a blind frenzy of bullets, Tanya manages to shoot all but two people on-board the boat, including Quentin. Tanya asks if Greg had an affair with her, which Quentin cannot answer before he dies.
