A little other personal stuff:
Quark was born and raised in the Redmond Barrens. Someone, he does not know who, recommended him to a military recruiter when he was of age because of his mechanical and mental aptitude. After a lengthy and happy term in the military Quark tried going corporate for a while and could not stand the bastards (you can take a boy outta the barrens but you cannot take the barrens outta the boy). This did not end particularly well materially for Quark and so he is now a squatter in his old neighborhood and trying his hand at running to improve his immediate situation and expand his skill set.
