Paizo Iconics - Quinn

Quinn, the iconic investigator, is an obnoxious concept. He's an "African"; he's clearly said to be of Garundi descent, but he's from a noble family of Galt, the iconic "France?" And, of course, he's supposed to be elegant, refined, sophisticated, and very intelligent, dedicated and patient. 

Yeah, sure, that's "iconic." And he hates crime and injustice. Someone who wrote that has spent too long breathing Seattle fumes of delusion.

In spite of that, visually, he's not a bad character, really. I'm not sure what I think of the Investigator; one of the Advanced Class Guide hybrid classes that's sorta rogue sorta alchemist. I think the investigator is better as an archetype for some other more straightforward class rather than a pseudo-magical hybrid class.

Anyway, Quinn got a 2e visual refresh too. I'm not sure what was what made them decide to do some characters and not others, but he got one anyway. Not much changed except the pose and a few details of the clothing that you can barely see under his trenchcoat, but the 1e image is significantly better.
