A Quinx is a human or half-human with a restrained "kakuhou" installed in their body. Since Quinx is able to produce a Kagune, they can potentially be mistaken for ghouls and one-eyed ghouls.
The Quinx members are regarded as human research subjects who have undergone the surgical procedure developed by Dr. Kouitsu Chigyou.
The tasks assigned to the Quinx were often monitored and overseen by Haise Sasaki until he resigned as their mentor.
The "Kakuhou" of all members of the Quinx Squad are initially set to F2, the second frame, giving them 40% of a ghoul's potential power.
Although the frames are essential to regulate the flow of Rc cells in a Quinx's body, they are not entirely fail-proof. In cases of extreme physical stress,
the five frames coating the "Kakuhou" can break, releasing a high concentration of Rc cells on the subject's bloodstream and fully releasing their "Kagune".
This occurrence is known among the CCG as "framing out." In the event a Quinx's frames were to break, they are to be considered S-rated ghouls and ought to be subject to immediate extermination.
Dr. Shiba states that as long as their Rc levels remain below those of a ghoul (~1000), they are able to eat human food.
