Quattro

Quattro's History

Quattro with his family.

In his younger days, Thomas Arclight lived with his brothers and their father, Byron, lived a happy life with their dog, where he was an innocent, mischievous and playful child. On a winter night, their father gave Michael a Duel Monsters card - "Chronomaly Aztec Mask Golem", which Michael showed to Thomas in his excitement. Thomas was jealous because only Michael received a card and stole "Mask Golem" from him. Chris told him to give his card back and stop squabbling or their father would scold them and then promised to teach both of them how to Duel.[13]

Trey and Quattro during their childhood.

His father became involved in Dr. Faker's experiments, but Faker eventually betrayed both him and Kazuma Tsukumo, sending them to another dimension as sacrifices to open the door to alternate dimensions.[5] As Byron didn't return from the trip, Michael and Thomas were were sent to an orphanage, while Chris remained at Dr. Faker's facility in an attempt to learn of their father's fate. However, after learning Kite Tenjo and Hart Tenjo were Faker's sons, Chris left Heartland with his brothers.[18] Their father returned years later, but his form warped into that of a child. He took the name "Vetrix" and began plotting revenge, with Thomas and his brothers aiding him. Thomas became known as "Quattro".[5] Vetrix imbued each of his sons with a crest, which granted them great power. In exchange, the crest was connected directly to their souls. Therefore, if they were lose to a Duel while wielding a powerful "Number", they would fall comatose.[17]

Quattro saves Rio from the fire.

As part of Vetrix's plan, Quattro was told to Duel Rio Kastle. He played a card called "Flaming Hell Blessing", which somehow set the building on fire. Quattro carried her to safety, with his face being scarred in the process, but she was critically injured in the blaze.[11]

Quattro in the National Duel Circuit.

Quattro participated in the National Duel Circuit, where he faced Rio's brother, Reginald in the finals.[7] He set Reginald up to be disqualified by planting his Deck on top of a pot, so that it would fall and end up scattered on the floor in the break room. That way, Quattro ensured Reginald would see it, though Reginald himself was unaware of that until Quattro himself told him later.[19]
