Quincy
The Chairman [and founder] of Genom, Quincy has brought his company to a position of world economic domination through both legal and illegal means. Genom has sufficient power in Japan to dictate terms to the government, and is actively attempting to destablise the governments of nations which are resistant to the company's plans.
Quincy is old (he was born in 1962, making him 70 at the start of the series); however, he has a plan to delay his death from natural causes for some time, possibly planning to transfer his consciousness into a boomer body, or even into the Net as a whole. Armstrong discovered Quincy's plan, but never revealed any details before he was destroyed. As a precaution against death by unnatural causes, Quincy has a number of android doubles for use in potentially dangerous situations.
Quincy is determined that Genom should become the ultimate power in the world, economically and politically - a plan that will take years to accomplish, but he is a very patient man. It seems likely that Genom engineered the 2025 earthquake in order to consolidate their powerbase in the reconstruction. At least until 2033, Genom hold all patents for the boomer technology [subcontracting some manufacturing to companies like Gulf/Bradley and the Zone Corporation, rather than releasing the valuable patents] first developed by Dr Stingray, and this technology gives them an enormous advantage over any rivals. Quincy maintains a hands-on approach to management - unless it involves illegal operations, in which case he maintains plausible deniability - and even other senior board members are terrified of him.
Quincy's most important project is the OMS - 'Overmind Control System' - which will grant him almost limitless power when it is operational [the OMS is a system which allows control over boomers, and possibly humans who have undergone some kind of special implant procedure]. Largo thought the OMS was important enough to destroy many of Genom's outposts around the world to obtain; he failed, however, and Quincy retained control. [Genom was sufficiently weakened by Largo's attacks to have to engage in partnership programmes with companies such as Gulf/Bradley, until such a time as the company is back to full strength.] Quincy and Genom have been quiet following the Vision affair in 2033, but both will undoubtedly return to plague the Knight Sabers.

Quincy's Androids
A man as powerful as Quincy makes a lot of enemies, and as a result Quincy has made use of boomer duplicates of himself in situations where he might be in danger. He has used at least three - one in his meeting with Largo, one to face off Reika Chang and one at the opening presentation of the Genom Trophy Rally. As he was attacked on each occasion, his forward planning paid off.
