After stealing a weapon from a hermit, he shortly wanders into Mimiga Village, whose inhabitants are being systematically forced into a renewed conflict by the newest owner of the Demon Crown. He also possesses no weaponry of any kind. For the next ten years, Quote laid incapacitated, dormant and undisturbed in a small cave, separated from Curly Brace.Īt the start of the game, Quote finally awakens with complete amnesia: he has no memory of his purpose on the island, who he is, or where he is, or why he was there. Quote and Curly fought Miakid, and managed to fatally wound him, but were both seriously damaged. By the time they found the Demon Crown, a human named Miakid had already claimed it, becoming the third being in history to do so. Death and carnage was everywhere, and most of the Mimiga race had already been exterminated. They arrived later than the other robots by the time they reached the Island, much of it was in ruins. Unlike the other robots sent there, Quote and Curly were ordered to destroy the Demon Crown rather than claim it for any owner. During the conflict, Quote and a similar female combat robot named Curly Brace were constructed by an unknown party, and also sent to the island. The robots specifically targeted Mimigas in their assault, killing countless masses of them without any notable provocation. Ten years prior to the events of Cave Story, an army of robot soldiers was sent to the Island to claim the Demon Crown, a very dangerous artifact which bestows great powers upon the person who wears it. This implies that he may actually be a cyborg or an artificial human, rather than a simple robot. It is also notable that Quote is able to sleep, eat, drown, and (seemingly) make his own decisions.

While Misery and the Cthulhu quickly recognize him as a "soldier from the surface," Sue and Kazuma refer to him as "boy" or "young man". Quote and Curly Brace are far more advanced than most robots shown in the game, appearing nearly human.
