Her given name is actually Nadia Makita, Quellcrist Falconer is the pseudonym she goes by after she starts her revolution. This pretty much only comes up in passing during the show. I think it's mentioned like... once, that Quell is not her given name.
resubmitting because i forgot a picture the first time, sorry!
big fan of Quellcrist Falconer from Netflix's Altered Carbon (not necessarily an endorsement of the show). she invented a way to transfer consciousness via technology, then spent the rest of her life as a revolutionary trying to destroy the tech, once she realized it would only be used to maintain inequality. She led a group called the Envoys, and (among other things) taught them how to use their minds to hack/break free of VR simulations they might be put in.'

Quellcrist Falconer. Hell of a name. Damn lmao what did the show do 🤣 actually no don't tell me. It's Netflix. Oooooooh that concept is always interesting. That whole "what have I done, what has my brilliance created." Like Oppenheimer except, you know... Nvm let me not. This is definitely something Hot Chocolate would like, I'll show it to him.
Hot Chocolate: Ice was right, I LOVE this. Like she said, Quellcrist is a hell of a name... I ain't gone lie, it kinda sounds like it came from a name generator. Regardless! Black woman invents immortality? Realizes corporations are using it for evil and builds a revolutionary force to take them down? Sign me up for her army AND this show. We are Envoys! 💪🏾 I've heard this show was good but never heard anything of the premise.
