Quant Blitz

"YOU LITTLE SHIT-HEAD!!! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO THE GREAT QUANT???!!!" - Quant to Koon

Quant is a Ranker. He hates to lose and wants to be at the top of everything. He likes to show off his good side, though his ego easily overshadows it. He tutors the Scout position, but doesn't really teach anything. He has red hair and a rather short temper. He was tricked by Koon in the Hide and Seek test and was extremely angered.

Appearance and Personality
Quant has red hair and red eyes. He has a darker skin color compared to those of other characters. He is seen mostly wearing a white lab coat like Lero-Ro, but without the legs flared out.

His personality is essentially the classic "insane psycho" character. He has a short temper, is extremely cocky, and overall just yells a lot. He is a bit of a slacker, as shown when instead of handling the Second Floor tests as he was meant to, he simply let the Regulars go on "a 30 minutes killing spree". He isn't exactly as smart as your every day ranker, as Koon Agero Agnis, a mere regular, managed to trick him, and then blackmail him.

He has a great deal of respect for Lero-Ro, and was outraged when Yu Hansung didn't do a thing to stop him from leaving. He stated Lero-ro as being one of the few Rankers out there with "that much" skill.

History
All that is known about Quant's history is that he made it to the 134th floor of The Tower.

Tower of God: Part 1
Quant first appeared in the story after proctoring a test for the Regulars on the Second Floor. He informed Yu Han Sung of the fact that an Irregular and a Princess had entered the floor.

He was then chosen as the "hunter" in the hide-and-seek test. He easily eliminated most of Team A using Shinsoo, and then pursued Anak, only to run into Koon. Koon enraged Quant to the point where Quant pushed him off a ledge, only to find that Koon had set up a pulley system, and that by attacking Koon, Quant had essentially guaranteed victory for Koon's team. Koon then approached Quant with Phonsekal Laure, and said that Laure would help him catch Anak if Quant did what Koon wanted. Quant had no choice but to agree, so Laure blasted him up to catch Anak.

At the start of Team B's test, Quant was seen muttering that Koon would not get his way. He seemed very angry about the recent events.

He then started hunting Team B, and ran into Hatsu. He attacked him, and was surprised by his skill, comparing his style to that of Arie Hon's sect. He then moved in for another attack, which Hatsu dodged. Hatsu leapt into the shadows, and then attacked Quant, but he was ready, grabbed the swordsman and smashed him into a wall. However, Hatsu was able to trap him with his grip, to Quant's amazement. However, the Spear Bearers for Team B had run off, and Quant was able to break free and defeat Hatsu. He then turned up in the Safety Zone, telling Ho that she was impudent to say she was working for God, as he was the god of the test. He had found them by tracing Lahel's Lighthouse, meaning someone must have told him about Ho's plans beforehand. He attacked Ho, but Parakewl and Mauchi attacked him with spears at long range, allowing Ho to get into the Safety Zone. While Quant considered his options, Baam turned up, and was forced by Ho to attack Quant. Quant immobilized Baam with Shinsoo, and told him to copy the technique to save Lahel while he dealt with the Spear Bearers. He had only told Baam this to get him into the Safety Zone, but when Baam actually used the ability, Quant wondered if Baam was really "a monster", especially after Baam used it from a distance to help Androssi catch him.

As of chapter 78, he was fired by Yu Han Sung after Leo-ro quit his position as administrator. Quant claims not to be involved with him but he still follows Leo-ro to the 77th Floor.

Powers and Abilities
Quant as a ranker has some strengths as displayed so far but it is unknown how strong or weak he really is, as compared to other Rankers. He did seem to be manipulated easily during the Hide and Seek test but even then, it must be remembered his opponent was a son of Koon Eduan, whose Family is widely known for being cunning, manipulative and two-faced. And it must be noted excepting Yu Han Sung and Lero-Ro, none of the other grading teachers noticed the boy's deception and all gave similar scores to Team 1. The testing director being a master manipulator himself was able to understand the boy's mind and Lero-Ro was able to get a better view of the test proceedings via his Lighthouse.

Quant actually lost against Baam and Androssi Zahard because his technique, the Paralyzing Flow, was used against him. Had he not bothered to teach Baam the concept behind it (in order to give him false hope to save Rachel), it's unknown what the outcome might have been as he didn't know Baam was an irregular. In Ch 36, it is mentioned he was only allowed to use 1 room of shinsoo, was forbidden to use any of his equipment and also, wasn't allowed to use any shinsoo strengthening. So he was at a great disadvantage, in order to make things more fair for the Regulars(including Baam and Androssi).

Still, he does seem to have low emotional intelligence and is subject to outbursts of temper, which tend to cloud his judgement and which likely mar his potential as Koon Agero Agnis managed use his emotional state against him. On the other hand, he does have some level of empathy, illustrated by the fact he was willing to help Baam save Rachel. And he did demonstrate an ability to at least calm down his temper.

Excellent Physical Skills: Quant has demonstrated quite strong close combat. He can easily take on multiple fairly good fighters at once, and Hatsu noted that his moves had been honed to a level that was beyond human. However, it has been noted that in comparison to other Rankers he is quite weak.

Shinsoo Enhancement: Quant can use Shinsoo to enhance his body, giving him increased speed, strength, and reflexes.

Night Vision: Quant can see perfectly in pitch darkness, without using any kind of goggles or equiment. He can also make his eyes glow red.

Shinsoo Attacks: Quant can use Shinsoo to knock people out at long range, using it much like his fists, except without moving.

Paralyzing Flow: Quant can temporarily immobilize an enemy at close range using Shinsoo.

Black Fish: Not much is known about this ability. Upon usage, Quant is covered in a strange dark liquid and moves at an incredible speed, seemingly becoming able to move through objects. He can also use it only on his hand. When he does so his hand gains strength enough to crack stone, and will mildly burn anything it touches.
