Quintus Caecilius Iucundus, son of Caecilius and Metella and brother of Evelina, was a young man living in Pompeii in its final days.
Quintus was more willing than the rest of his family to help the strange foreigner who insisted that nearby Mount Vesuvius was about to erupt and smother Pompeii. At the Doctor's instruction, Quintus killed a Pyrovile that appeared in his family's house. Later, against his parents' express wishes, he guided the Doctor to the house of cult leader Lucius Petrus Dextrus.
Though he seemed to be a jaded and rebellious youth, performing his religious duties to the family's household gods only under duress, Quintus was secretly concerned for his sister's health. Evelina was suffering from a mysterious ailment due to her inhalation of Pyrovile dust.
Quintus, along with the rest of his family, was saved from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius by the Doctor. Six months later, the Caecilius family was living in Rome and Quintus was studying to become a doctor. He also followed the traditions/religion of his family more willingly, as the Caecilius family's new household gods were the Doctor and Donna. (DW: The Fires of Pompeii)
Behind the Scenes
