Overview[]
Biography[]
Quentin Collins was born in Collinsport, Maine in the year 1870. He was the youngest of four siblings which included Edward, Carl and sister Judith. Even as a child, Quentin was the black sheep of the family. He always believed the others to be overwhelmingly full of themselves was particularly cruel to Judith, who nursed a lifelong resentment of her brother. [1]
Quentin's bad attitude towards his family followed him into adulthood and he despised the fact that his older brother Edward became the patriarch of the Collins family estate. Quentin did however maintain some positive connections while living at Collinwood. He carried on a love affair with the household maid, Beth Chavez and was very close to Edward's son, Jamison.
In the year 1896, Quentin Collins left Collinwood to find his fortune abroad. The others were more than just a little pleased to see him go and hoped that he would never return. The only one who genuinely mourned Quentin's absence was the child, Jamison.
Quentin returned a year later, much to the surprise of everyone at Collinwood. Jamison had written him while he was off at sea that his grandmother, Edith Collins, was in failing health and would die soon. Quentin saw this as his opportunity to secure his share of the family inheritance. Upon arriving home, he immediately visited his grandmother and tried to win her over with his traditional charm, but Edith wasn't fooled. She knew that Quentin was only being nice to her because he wanted something - and Quentin always wanted something. [2]
Another family member who was distraught by Quentin's return was sister Judith. She knew that Quentin's presence threatened her own aims when it came to the family fortune and offered him $1,5000 of her personal savings if he would agree to leave. Quentin countered that the only person who could get him to leave Collinwood would be Jamison, and assured her that if he asked him to go, he would obey the boy's wishes. Judith tried manipulating Jamison into asking Quentin to leave, but he refused to go along with her. [3]
