We knew we were going to like this new guy Quinn when he drove a knife through a blubbering Brody's hand. Finally, a match for Carrie in the crazy department. And a looker, too!

He may be an assassin, but he's no tool. Peter Quinn is not above defying orders (and threatening the boss) if he doesn't believe in the mission, especially where protecting Carrie is concerned. Is our favorite killer developing a killer crush? Aw.

Quinn loves making bombs. If the weather is hot enough, he prefers working shirtless. Bless.

Hello?! Quinn on a motorcycle? It doesn't get any better than this. Weaving in and out of Caracas traffic following his target, Quinn aborted the mission when he saw a kid in the car. A killer with a conscience.

If you are a venal shithead, you best steer clear of Peter Quinn. Patience is not his biggest virtue. Just ask the hole in Brody's hand.

Sure, he may be head-over-heels in love with Carrie, but Quinn's not about to let her ruin the mission. When she's about to do something really dumb, he stops her the best way he knows how. He shoots her.

Nothing goads Quinn into a rage faster than injustice. When a dumbass at a diner mocks his lady friend because of her girth, Quinn does what any upstanding guy would do, he smashes the creep's face into a plate of waffles. Obviously.

Just because you bring donuts, don't expect a warm welcome from Quinn. If you're going to tease him about his feelings for Carrie and lowkey blame him for another man's death, expect to be nearly choked to death, even if - like Dar - you're the closest thing to family he's got.

When terrorists overran the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, Quinn turned into a one-man army, chasing off the bad guys and saving a bunch of American lives in the process. He's a keeper!

Bad guy Farhad Ghazi learned the hard way that crossing Quinn one too many times is never a good idea. For his role in helping Haqqani storm the U.S. embassy, Ghazi found himself in an abandoned garage, staring at a collection of torture implements artfully arranged by Peter Quinn. We don't really want to know what happened next, but we can imagine Ghazi found it a tad unpleasant.

If you've been recruiting vulnerable teenage girls for ISIS, don't expect any mercy from Peter Quinn, even if you are a woman. There are some orders Quinn won't hesitate to follow.

Getting shot in the gut is all in a day's work for Peter Quinn. In fact, there's nothing like a fresh wound to get his adrenaline pumping. Word to the wise, if you're going to take aim at Quinn, make sure you kill him the first time, because chances are you won't live long enough to take a second shot.

Quinn's got a message for all those who've been boohooing about him being a shadow of his former self: Think again! Sure, he's a little unsteady and frightfully dishevelled after suffering a massive stroke, but as soon he suspects Carrie might be in danger, he busts out his badass moves once again. As Tommy will attest, underestimate Quinn at your own risk!
