"not to be confused with Quotes" Quote, also known as Mr. Traveler in most NICALiS ports (クォートKuôto), is the main protagonist of Cave Story and the character the player can move around. His name is spoken only once in the normal game after feeding Curly Brace the Ma Pignon. His name is also mentioned by one of Jenka's puppies in the Plantation in Curly Story, along with being fed the mushroom.

Due to the fact that Quote is a robot, he is capable of withstanding huge amounts of damage if he has acquired multiple Life Capsules, which increase his maximum durability. He is also highly skilled in armed combat due to his status as a soldier, with the ability to wield a wide arsenal of weapons, from swords to heavy artillery.
