! style="background:#ffffff;" align="center" | Though Quentin and Chloe's relationship got off to a somewhat rocky start, the pair quickly found a common experience when they opened up to one another over a late-night chat in Chloe's quarters during her momentary confinement. The two shared with each other there personal childhood traumas and feelings of occasional helplessness. From there the officers now enjoy a sort of sibling like care for one another with Chloe using Quentin as a conduit for the outside world and Quentin trying to help guide the Helmsman into being more comfortable in herself. Here recently he oversaw the fabrication of "The Crown of Voices", a new translation device for Waters, which would allow for a greater range of expression for his friend. In the transfer to the Arrow, the pair grew closer as Quentin confided in her his father's death and allowed her to be the shoulder to cry on that he was for her not but a few months earlier during her confinement to quarters.  

Quentin had a rocky, but substantial schooling in his home town, graduation Collinsport High with honors and intentions to join Starfleet soon after. But his domineering mother had other plans for him. Having gained somewhat of a reputation through the state's academic community as an authority on the occult and spiritualism, she wished for her eldest to set the example for his siblings, Sara and David and follow in her footsteps. But terrestrial knowledge wasn't enough for Quentin and more so he wished to escape the town that bore his name in order to make a life for himself beyond Maine. Eventually his mother wore him down and he attended the college of her matriculation Salem State University in Salem, Massachusetts, earning a degree in Parapsychology with a minor in Anthropology, which pleased his mother who wanted him to take a more "Traditional Route".

Though he enjoyed the research and the rigors of student life, he was still unfulfilled and struck a deal with his parents. If he could work one full year at sea, he would be allowed to join Starfleet and finally answer the call of the stars. They relented and Quentin was elated. Working as a deck hand on one of his family's fishing boats (''The Josette''), he found himself at sea, as it ignited a whole new love and respect for service and travel. He also saw something at sea that further fueled his need to understand the unknown and to to experience it any way he could and he knew the best place for that would be in space.

*(AKA: "tv shows" and "movies". Specifically too many to name. Examples include "The Prisoner", Akira Kurasawa's  

It is of the opinion of this program(s) that Quentin Collins displays a respect of the position he now inhabits as well as a keen joy of duty that makes him uniquely suited to perform admirably in the position. However, it is also of the opinion(s) of this programs(s) that the recent loss of his father and subsequent feelings of disconnection and depression that have been dredged to the surface in it's wake might prove to be a hurtle Quentin won't prove able to overcome without serious therapeutic work coupled with rigorous, regular meditation and self-reflection.
