By Renee Hansen
The second episode of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon will air on AMC and AMC+ on Sunday, September 17. Titled “Alouette” (Lark), this episode will feature Quinn, a character portrayed by actor Adam Nagaitis. Who is this character?
When Nagaitis was announced as joining the cast for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, the character description for Quinn reads, “a displaced Brit who has become powerful in post-apocalyptic Paris as a black marketeer and the owner of the Demimonde, a sexy underground nightclub.”
In the new trailer, which aired at the end of episode 1, Isabelle (Clémence Poésy) is in a conversation with Quinn where he says, “Strange to see you again after all these years.” Could this tie to part of Isabelle’s character description, where she “finds herself confronting her dark past in Paris.”
During the events of episode 3 of the Daryl Dixon series, more information is revealed about Quinn. Not only has he become a black marketeer but also the owner of an underground nightclub, Demimonde. He is ruthless and agressive and viewers learn he had an affair with Isbelle’s sister Lily, resulting in the birth of Laurent.
He gives Isabelle an ultimatim, if she and Laurent remain with him, he will assist Daryl in finding a boat to take him back to the United States.
