TBH as a Texan who has been to Europe multiple times in the last 30 years that's all you you need. I've told people I was American and (especially when bush or trump were president) they were like :/ yeah okay. Or they'd say "oh yes, I've visited New York (unimpressed face)". But every single time I've said I'm from Texas? Instant bffs with whoever I'm talking to, they want to know if I own cowboy boots they're excited to tell their families they met me. I've come to understand that Meeting A Texan is as big a cultural experience for some people as World Travel is for me, and I kinda owe it to them to have the strongest accent I can dang well manage and tell them full details about every time I've ever milked a cow (like... twice? I'm not a farm kid) or ridden a horse (a couple times at scout camp).

(in the age of widespread internet access this effect is fading, but still present)

Still on my first time completing Dracula so maybe there's more info later, but honestly my favorite thing about Quincy so far is that he's ??? just here?? For no reason??

Everyone else has some kind of background. Arthur is a young lord who recently inherited his title. Jack runs an asylum. Johnathan is a newbie solicitor. Mina is from a background of moderate means and has been teaching herself solicitor's assistant type skills because she married Johnathan. Van Helsing is a professor/doctor/lawyer from Amsterdam.

And then there's Quincy! Quincy's profession is "Visiting American." His background is "From Texas."

Where in Texas? What does he do? Why is he in England?? How long has he been here???

Unimportant

He seems to spend most of his time conducting the very important business of hanging out with Arthur. At this point I'm half convinced Arthur went on some rich lordling sight-seeing trip to Texas, where he met Quincy and brought him home, like a guy who takes a wild animal from its natural habitat in a foreign country and keeps it as an exotic pet.
