Referred to by Alexander Roby during his monologue to Dr Bartlett, Quarrie is an unknown individual of whom the following is stated:
- Roby does not know where Quarrrie is.
- He may be attempting to 'bring' the King in Yellow.
- It appears Quarrie disagreed with Roby and Edwards on one or more issues.
- Quarrie believes that the King in Yellow has called himself the White Acolyte.
Roby also asks Bartlett to pass on a stanza of poetry to Quarrie as a warning or piece of advice:
The stars that burn their charcoal death,
Shrink back, they feel the hoary breath,
Of he who ransoms great Carcosa.
He flees where queen and prophet met,
Where twin suns fall but never set,
Escapes the tomb of lost Carcosa.
