This character from the old TV show, "Dark Shadows"... first appeared in the show as the Ghost of himself...
Only the children could see him ... He later made his presence know to the rest of the Collinswood household... (as portrayed by actor, David Shelby)
in life he was a ruthless "cad"... even murdered his poor wife (while having an affair with the maid (and even Kate Jackson)... a world-traveler, always seeking more lost Occult knowledge...
His ghost tormented the Collins Family till they fled the house for a short while...
it is during this time that we learn (in "flash-back") following episodes of the back ground of this character and why he was locked away in a room to die... (The Collins Family did so after he murdered his wife (they could not risk such a "scandal" to their Family Name)...
He was even resurrected, as a zombie (one of the living dead) to serve the Witch for a bit...
Introduced in a story-line (taking place in the late 1800's) we learn of his research into the Occult...
At one time he even owned the head of the powerful evil warlock, Judah Zachary ...
Later he was cursed to be a werewolf, every month for as long as he shall live...
Thanks to the talented (but little known) artist Tate,.... he had a "Dorian Grey"-type portrait of himself created... it would change into the Werewolf rather than him....
This portrait also aged while Quentin stayed forever young...
His studies into the Occult even led to him creating a special staircase, which could enable "time-travel"... So quite a Character...
Shelby and his character quickly gathered a very large female fan-base ...
