"And your chocolate fur reflects what? How sweet you are?"
Sam Uley to Quil.[src]

A member of the Black pack, Quil Ateara V is mentioned in Twilight, but becomes increasingly important starting in New Moon. Unlike the other members of the pack, he was happy about becoming a wolf, and finally having his friends back and understanding what was going on, but the pack really didn't understand his excitement as they were dismayed at the thought of the Cullens having indirectly caused another pack member to phase. Quil was happy to have finally made the pack and reunited with Jacob, Embry and the other shifters. His Life and Death counterpart is Quil Ateara.

He is portrayed by Tyson Houseman in the movie adaptations.
