Quinn Perkins, born Lindsay Dwyer, is a member of the crisis management team at Olivia Pope's consulting firm, Olivia Pope & Associates.

History

As Lindsay Dwyer she lived in San Jose, California and graduated from Stanford law school. She passed the California State Bar the day before the presidential election. Her boyfriend Jesse Tyler worked for Cytron and helped rig the presidential election. He was murdered, along with 6 other co-workers in an explosion. Lindsay/Quinn was framed for the murder and before she was turned over to the police, Huck kidnapped her under Olivia's orders, drugged her and brought her to DC. Quinn woke up with a new identity and ran with it. She joined a law firm in D.C. called O'Malley & Lee under her assumed identity. She was then hired by Olivia Pope & Associates, not knowing that Olivia and Huck were responsible for her new identity. Her identity was eventually discovered and she was prosecuted in federal court for the Cytron explosion. She spent six months behind bars awaiting trial. David Rosen prosecuted the case and asked for the death penalty. When the case looked like it was going to be lost, Olivia contacted Supreme Court Justice Verna Thornton who in turn was able to get the judge to enter a judgment of acquittal for Lindsay before the jury deliberated.

Relationships

Olivia Pope

Olivia saved Lindsay from being arrested and prosecuted for a bombing she didn't commit. She then later hired her, as Quinn Perkins, at her consulting firm. Olivia was the only one that knew her real identity... or so we thought!

Huck

Huck was asked by Olivia Pope to save Lindsay's life after the Cytron bombing. She drugged her and moved her to DC giving her a new identity. He is now training her how to be a good spy-like investigator. Huck has become somewhat of a mentor to Quinn. For more information on her relationship with Huck, check out their relationship page at Huckelberry Quinn Relationship.
