Wes Quinn

"I’ve always been different, now I finally know what I have to do"

- Wes Quinn

Clouded Past
No one knows much about Wes Quinn before he showed up on a Los Angeles beach covered in seaweed and kelp during a huge storm. Suffering from amnesia, Wes had no idea where he came from or where he was. Only remembering his name, Wes was taken in by a local surf shop owner, Bart Kline. He was a 12 years old kid when he washed up in Los Angeles figured to have been knocked overboard during the storm. However, soon he realized that he could almost feel exactly in tune with sea animals. He spent most of his life in the water slowly developing more and more skills. However, with each new skill came more questions for his father figure, Bart.

Discovery of Origins
"Bart, I went from being able to hold my breath for five minutes to being able to breathe underwater. I can swim faster than a cigarette boat on full throttle. How can you explain any of that?"

- Wes Quinn

By the time he was 19, Wes had developed most of his powers and rarely used them, but soon he began to remember more and more. A city under the sea, a woman’s face, for a year he had the most vivid dreams that ended up with him shooting awake. Finally, Bart approached him and told him exactly about whom he was. Bart explained how he was from the city of Atlantis, and how he was sent away from the city when his mother died to live with his father. His father was a human living somewhere in Los Angeles, but sadly, when Wes tried to find him he found he had died years before after being lost at sea apparently trying to find Wes’ mother.

When he asked Bart how he knew so much Bart confessed that he knew his mother when she came to Los Angeles years ago. In a heated argument, Wes claimed that Bart lied to him by not telling him about his true past. Wes ended up leaving Los Angeles and headed for Sacramento where he opened his own dive shop.
