Quinn Erickson was the son of Emory Erickson, the inventor of the molecular transporter, and the brother of Danica Erickson. He was very good friends with Jonathan Archer.

In 2139, he was one of the first people to test his father's sub-quantum teleportation device. Unfortunately, his pattern was lost in subspace in an area called the Barrens. However, Emory learned that there were fluctuations within the subspace node of the Barrens, which caused Quinn's transporter signal to reapper, which manifestated itself as an energy distortion. Emory was then convinced that his son was still alive, suspended in subspace, and could be rescued.

In 2154, Emory staged a ruse and convinced Starfleet that he was running another test of the sub-quantum transporter. In reality, however, he was attempting to lock onto his son's signal and bring him back to normal space, a mission he believed Starfleet would have never authorized. Starfleet granted Emory access to Enterprise, under the command of the now-Captain Archer, which returned the inventor to the Barrens to conduct the experiment.

Unfortunately, while Emory made the preparations to Enterprise''s transporter, Quinn's signal manifested itself aboard the vessel, resulting in the death of a crewman. When confronted by both his daughter and Archer, Emory finally revealed the truth. Reluctantly, Archer permitted Emory to continue with the experiment.

Emory was ultimately successful in locking on to Quinn's pattern. Sadly, his his pattern had degraded too far, and he had suffered massive cellular deterioration. Rather than let his son exist "somewhere in-between" life and death, Emory brought him back to normal space. Seconds later, he died in his father's arms. (ENT: "Daedalus")

Quinn was played by Donovan Knowles.
