League of Legends Quinn: Complete Champion & Gameplay Guide
Quinn is voiced by Lauren Mayhew in League of Legends and Legends of Runeterra. Originally conceptualized as "Falconer," she evolved from the Eagle Rider champion concept, focusing on a unique teamwork-based dynamic inspired by Elite K-9 units rather than traditional fantasy ranger relationships.
Initially planned to be named "Quinn and Valor," technical limitations led to the simplified "Quinn." Her name has Celtic origins, meaning "head" or "chief," fitting her role as leader of the Demacian rangers.
As a Ranger-Knight, Quinn holds a prestigious position in the Demacian military. The Buvelle noble house sponsored her knighthood, providing necessary resources and equipment. Her companion Valor, an intelligent bird, is capable of playing Tellstones and often bests Quinn at the game.

Quinn's brother Caleb, whose name means "dog" in Hebrew, influenced her character development. Her crossbow is crafted from tuskvore horns, the same creature responsible for her brother's death, adding depth to her personal story.
In earlier lore, Quinn undertook important missions to the Freljord under Jarvan IV's command, notably surviving an encounter with the Ice Witch while gathering intelligence about tribal situations.
