in childhood.
"WE ALL START OUT WORTHLESS, BOY." Born to a small Italian-American family in New York, his father was a labourer and his mother was a failed performer turned housewife. Their marriage was very rocky, but inescapable, and Quincy discovered at a very early age that with enough conviction, any lie or stolen turn-of-phrase can be true. Between talking his father out of fits, lying to his mother about them, and getting around the streets, he found he had a particular knack for taking something and adapting it.
He could be anything, do anything, if he knew what he was good at, and after getting a foothold in the business, he only fell in love with it more. Vices felt like blessings when you weren't thinking of tomorrow.

THAT MAN CAN MAKE ANYONE BIG. Quincy had a reputation for his ability to lead almost any actor, big or small, to their next break. He was the guy you called when you were on a sinking streak, as he always seemed to have the best ideas and the greatest ways to stitch them together. He spent his time in the velvet-lined wasteland of show business, where his needs were met and then some. He was an addict with a face for press---of course people loved him.
His own arrogance kept him from expecting that somehow, one day, someone would find out that he was a dirty liar, scavenging ideas off no-names and screwing people off money. And find out they did, because within two weeks of the first claim, his career was in shambles. All of it, gone. And what a waste. And so no one was particularly surprised when Quintin Accardi, renowned movie producer turned fraud, turned up dead of alcohol poisoning in a nobody's divebar.

in death.
HE DIDN'T MUCH CARE FOR THE THOUGHT OF AN AFTERLIFE. Nor did he care for the thought of redemption. Which doesn't work out well, because apparently there was an afterlife, and he was in Hell. For his sins, he was cast into the fraud ring, in which he regrettably feels right at home.
Quincy spends most of his time in dive bars, much like the one he died in, visiting jazz clubs, and attempting to reestablish himself during a passion block. He doesn't hold much belief in his ability to make something of himself, and he supposes it isn't exactly the point of this place to do such a thing, but some part of him hates to hear it. Some part of him misses it.
