Early Life
Quintus was born as the youngest son of Adrius Marcellonius, a lieutenant in the New Illyrian Armed Forces, in the small city of Nyaphthus in mountainous Uralis SS. In his early years his family life was a strained from the decline of his parents' marriage, and in his autobiography he described the "longing disconnect stemming from the aching bonds of a failed marriage" which tore his family apart. Due to the illegality of divorce in New Illyricum, the family was forced to separate instead, and Quintus moved with his mother to Boreadis in Pensuliam SS. Quintus was diagnosed with depression at age 14 and struggled to fit in at Alephonia Academy which was a boring school he attended in Alephonicum SS. However Quintus excelled in his curricular studies, acquiring Summa Cum Laude and he was admitted to Trurnia University, the most prestigious school in the nation, with a scholarship.
