An Eskimo mercenary who worked for the CIA, KGB, [=MI6=], and Cobra. Known for his strict code of honor, Kwinn never betrays his clients and always keeps his word, even when given to an enemy.
----
* {{BFG}}: His .30 caliber M1919 Browning is smaller than Roadblock's .50 caliber, but it's a rather heavy weapon that most soldiers mount on a tripod, and Kwinn carries it ''by hand.''
* TheBigGuy: A giant of a man with strength to match. He's no [[DumbMuscle dummy]], though.
* ExactWords: He promised Dr. Venom not to kill him as he lived. When the traitorous doctor shoots him, a grenade falls out of the dead Kwinn's hand, killing Dr Venom.
* FireForgedFriends: While he and Snake-Eyes initially worked together out of necessity, they gradually became friends during their ordeal.
* GenerationXerox: DDP gave him a son, Ghost Bear, who is also a mercenary.
* IconicItem: His skull necklace.
* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Kwinn often compares Dr. Venom to a [[WickedWeasel weasel]], but also believes that [[NotSoDifferentRemark all men have a "weasel spirit" within]]. He ultimately decides to let the doctor go to overcome his "inner weasel". This proves [[InTheBack fatal]].
* MadeOfIron: Held himself pretty well against Snake-Eyes in a one on one combat stalemate, while describing how he fought and beat a polar bear.
* PunchClockVillain: Does not particularly like Cobra, [[DirtyCommunists really hates the KGB]], but takes jobs for both because they pay well.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After Dr. Venom double-crosses him [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder one too many times]], Kwinn finally decides to track him down. When it's all said and done, he decides to spare the not-so-good doctor, but see Exact Words above.
* ShoutOut: To "Quinn the Eskimo" by Music/BobDylan.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Frequently referred to himself in the third person.
* WorthyOpponent: Sees Snake-Eyes as one. Eventually they team up to take down a certain MadScientist.
