I heard you were in town and Grandma's dead, two reasons to celebrate!
— Grandpa Quinzel[src]

Grandpa Quinzel was the grandfather of Harleen and Barry Quinzel.

Biography[]

In "Being Harley Quinn," she is briefly seen in the background of a family photo inside Harley's mind.

He made his full debut in "Bensonhurst". He and his wife, Harley's grandmother, seemed to have a good marriage and gradually grew disdain and hatred for one another over time, as seen in the sitcom-parody sequence showing moments in the life of Harley and her family when she arrives at her childhood home. Once he arrives at the house in the present day, he demonstrates his hatred for his wife by offering a full-on celebration complete with alcohol to drink upon hearing that she had died, although he noted he was happy Harley was back home as well. He was known to have high blood pressure and died after being shot through his entire torso by the assassin hired to kill Harley as presumed collateral damage. It is unknown if he knew of the plan to kill Harley for the bounty that Harley's parents had acted upon, but, likely, he did not.

Personality[]

Grandpa Quinzel seems to have a very strong hatred for his wife despite their once-stable relationship. He also appears to truly love his granddaughter, Harley, as shown by how happy he was to see her when he showed up at their family home. He presumably opts to celebrate by drinking.

Appearance[]

Grandpa Quinzel is bald, with only a light amount of grey hair on the sides of his head. He has very bushy eyebrows and wears black, thick-rimmed eyeglasses with light blue lenses. He seems quite skinny and is seen wearing a light green collared shirt and brown pants that are pulled up high and fastened with a black belt.
