Qu is the slightly plump and amiable technician and gadget supplier to the [[History Monks]]. His devices include many different weapons based on using manipulation of time to kill the enemies. Most of them have a tendency to explode.<br />
<br />
His inventions include a begging bowl/shuriken which explodes about seven seconds after impact with an object, a prayer drum with a hidden knife and garrotte (plus it can also be used to pray with), Exploding [[Mandala]] powder, and the emergency portable [[Procrastinator|procrastinators]] used by [[Lobsang Ludd]] and [[Lu-Tze]] after the activation of the second [[Glass Clock]]. Some of his gadgets are remarkably like Q's (see annotation, below), and also incorporate a little computer-gaming in them too. He offers time bombs - not where you set them to go off at a specific time, but rather when they explode they slow time to a crawl.<br />
<br />
He is an inveterate tinkerer and never happier than when making people explode in ingenious ways, which sets him a little at odds with Lu-Tze who thinks there are better things to do with people.<br />
<br />
Qu also has a perpetual worry - being found out by the abbot. He was terrified that his portable procrastinators might be discovered, and also disliked running two concurrent time-streams during the events of {{NW}} in case they were found out.<br />
<br />
==Character annotation==<br />
<br />
Qu resembles the armorer at {{wp|James_Bond_%28character%29|James Bond's}} "Universal Export", whose code name, oddly enough, is "Q". Whilst this {{wp|Q_(James_Bond)|Q}} is often exasperated by Bond's tendency to lose or misuse his inventions, it is the field operatives of the History Monks like Lu-Tze who need to worry about Qu's sometimes temperamental and dangerous devices. Q in real life was one {{wp|Charles_Fraser-Smith|Charles Fraser-Smith}}, whose book has this blurb:<br />
<br />
''Compasses hidden inside buttons, hollowed-back hairbrushes contaning maps and 9-centimetre ridged-back saws, handkerchiefs with maps in invisible ink printed on them, chessmen filled with special inks for forging documents, playing cards lined with silk-tissue maps - these and many others were the gadgets that Charles Fraser-Smith produced and supplied to secret agents, saboteurs, partisans, escaping prisoners, commandos and SAS during the Second World War.'' <br />
