As his mother is of Veydovish root and his father is of Elmalian root, Quarter is a meld with his dominant blood being bakeneko—which gives him the ability to morph into a cat, as well as the ability to lie. Because he has physical features that make it obvious that he has Veydovish blood, his parents elected to teach him Standard Veydovish Brangelish rather than the Elmalian standard, which has resulted in him having an accent that tends to conceal the fact that he is a meld.

     Quarter grew up in the same area as Clover Dove and LeRoy Yates and remains close friends with them.
