Name: Robbie Quinn
Position: Field Agent
Date of Birth: 07/05/1988
Place of Birth: Sheffield, England
Faceclaim: Garrrett Hedlund
Robbie was born to a working class family, son of a scrapyard owner and a store clerk in Sheffield. He was never a very serious kid, sometimes acting out at school and being told he had terrible focus, but he was a kind enough guy, open and accepting. All Robbie ever wanted was to be a soldier and he enrolled in the armed forces as soon as he was old enough. He was popular among his unit, a good, adaptable military man who got along with most people and made them laugh. The fact he was gay ruffled a few feathers, and he didnāt exactly shout it from the roof tops, but he was happy with himself. Two months into his placement in Iraq, Robbie was caught in an explosion that took the life of his best friend and almost ended his own. Robbie recovered from his injuries and his fellow soldier and kind-of-boyfriend helped him through his emotional recovery. The two stayed together for a few years but ended things as his partner continued moving through the ranks, becoming a technician and getting transferred to another unit.
Robbie wasnāt the kind of person who needed his boyfriend to make life worth living, but the long distance thing didnāt work out so they decided to break it off. He had friends, a solid position as a mechanic in his unit. He had every excuse to be happy with his life as a soldier, but he couldnāt help like feeling that the war in Iraq was about more than what the news channels and politicians said it was. He considered leaving the service when his term was up. He also considered that maybe he just needed a change of scenery. It was the latter that came his way. A recruiter for MI6 came calling. They had a role to fill and Robbieās skills as an in-field mechanic and his fluency in Italian (thanks, mum) made him a desirable asset. Robbie had never thought of himself as an asset before. He was just another guy, doing what he could to make things work. Robbie started feeling as though he could really be the kind of hero heād seen in the movies growing up, and though his experience with loss, tragedy and PTSD told him life wasnāt always the happy ending to a Hollywood Blockbuster, he had to find out what MI6 had in store for him.
As of now, Robbie is still that supportive utility guy. He has yet to reach Double-O status and sometimes he feels a little like a glorified babysitter, but heās doing something important. Heās building on his own experience while also helping train the heroes of tomorrow. Thatās the part he tries to focus on.
Robbie is a laid back, friendly kind of person. Heās very comfortable in his own skin and very comfortable and open about the fact heās a gay man. He likes to have fun, but you wouldnāt really call him a partier or a rebel. A few guys playing cards with a couple of beers is his idea of a good time. That being said, he does still have some lingering guilt, PTSD and depression issues. He powers through them, trying to focus on the positive side of everything heās doing. He wants to stand out and sometimes finds it hard to draw the line between sensible and reckless, but he tries to keep his feet on the ground and follow his orders. Itās what heās here for, at the end of the day.
