Quirrel is an inquisitive and up-beat explorer, captivated by the myths and wonders of the fallen kingdom of Hallownest. Though he remains a simple observer, he is wise in the ways of the land and skilled with a nail, his weapon of choice. Quirrel's fascination with Hallownest is deeply personal, as he was once the apprentice to Monomon the Teacher, one of the Dreamers tasked with sealing away the Hollow Knight. After leaving Hallownest, Quirrel lost much of his memory, but was eventually drawn back by Monomon's call, seeking to undo the protection he had once helped enact. Quirrel is driven by a desire to uncover the secrets of Hallownest and to witness its fading wonders one final time before the kingdom is lost forever.
