The Quancher was, at some point in the past, two separate people.

Adrian Az was a guardian of an ancient dungeon, full of corrupted horrors. His task was to keep them sealed at any cost- including his own sanity, and eventually, his life. Javier Coli was an assistant of his who regularly brought corrupted artifacts from around the world.

After a long time working together, the two developed feelings for each other, though neither of them admitted it. Over time, though, Javi could feel his love for Adrian turn to worry as the artifacts clouded his mind and slowly changed his form. He suggested they run away, freeing him from the dungeon's depths, but Adrian declined, claiming this was his duty and his alone. This manifested into a full-blown obsession with the safety of the artifacts, and he would do anything to keep people away from them. He began to kill any unfortunate soul who found themselves near the dungeons, hiding their body and feeding their souls to the artifacts to keep them sated.

Everything unraveled one fateful evening when Javier, unable to find Adrian, wandered deep into the catacombs. He found the skeletal remains of dozens who had gone missing, and Adrian confessed to sacrificing them in his corrupted state. Javier attempted to restrain him and failed. He resorted to recalling fond memories, hoping the love between them would 'awaken' Adrian and bring him back to normal. Adrian ended up killing Javier in the ensuing fight between them, which brought him back to his senses. His mind was finally cleared, and his heart was broken. He decided to risk everything for his love.

Adrian dragged Javi's lifeless body into the deepest depths of the dungeons, chanting an ancient resurrection spell. However, due to his lack of magical ability, the spell was performed incorrectly- though it still unleashed an incredible amount of power. The two bodies fused together into an incredibly powerful being that combined Javi's sense, wit and meticulousness with Adrian's corruption, impulsivity and instability. Now, the Quancher is alive after hundreds, possibly thousands of years, and is always ready to wreak havoc upon anyone who dares cross his path.

Quancher is now Tesh's roommate in their small apartment, though he's often not around and can't really pay rent due to money being a completely foreign concept to him. He usually spends his days exploring the world, traveling to other dimensions, or having very small tea parties with Mini.
