Dracula
Quincey Morris
The Texan adventurer
A cheerful, fearless Texan who proposes to Lucy, takes her choice with good grace, and gives everything in the final fight against Dracula.
Quincey Morris is twenty-six, an American from Texas with sandy hair, a broad grin and a sharpshooter's steady hand. He is good-humored and laconic, and he faces danger without fuss. When Lucy chooses Arthur, Quincey is the first to tell his friend he is the luckiest man alive.
He brings the energy of an action hero to the group. Where Seward reasons and Van Helsing explains, Quincey rides, shoots and keeps moving. He is also deeply loyal and goes into the final chase for friends he has known only a short time.
“It's nothing... keep moving, Harker!”
In the story
Contains spoilers.
Quincey stands with Arthur and Seward at Lucy's tomb, and joins the six allies who vow to end Dracula. He helps cleanse Carfax and chase the Count across Europe. At Galatz the party splits, and Quincey rides the river trail with Jonathan, tracking the wagon through the snow.
At the castle pass he is wounded by a blade but fights on, telling Jonathan it is nothing. As the sun sets, his bowie knife goes into Dracula's heart. He dies peacefully among friends, glad to have died for this, and Jonathan and Mina later name their son Quincey in his honor.
