Quincey Morris I was a rich young American from Texas, and one of the three suitors for the hand of Lucy Westenra. Quincey is friends with the two other suitors, Arthur Holmwood and Dr. John Seward, as well as Jonathan Harker. He carries a Bowie knife at all times, and he admits that he is a teller of tall tales and 'a rough fellow, who hasn't perhaps lived as a man should'. Quincey is the last person to donate his blood to Lucy before her death.
Quincey is one of the few to have prior knowledge of blood drinkers. He was forced to shoot his horse while in the Pampas after vampire bats drank it dry during the night.
Quincey, along with Jonathan Harker, apparently finally destroys Dracula. Quincey is badly injured in the final battle with the Count's gypsies, and dies shortly after. In gratitude, Harker and his wife, Mina Harker, name their son Quincey. Their son is actually named after all five of the men that helped destroy Dracula, but called Quincey because of Morris's death.
