Quatre was born A.C. 180 on a colony somewhere in the L4 colony cluster as the youngest member, and the heir, of the wealthy Winner family. The L4 colony cluster is inhabited by Arab decendants (QnM: What? You don't believe in blond arabs? Head yonder), and Quatre's got 29 (!) older sisters, all of them by different mothers. His mother died giving birth to him but Quatre doesn't know this, he still believes he's a test-tube baby like the rest of his sisters. His father never told him about his mother, he didn't want Quatre to be different from any of his sisters, something that caused the poor boy much grief later on. Iria, one of Quatre's sisters, believes Quatre's father never told his son the truth about his mother because it would cause him even more grief, but his father denies this, claiming he never wanted any of his children to feel singled out. Either way, Quatre lacks a lot of self-respect because of this, think he's less worth as a test tube baby.
In AC 195, the Mobile Suit that Professor H was building was eventually finished, and Quatre got his Gundam: Sandrock. The mission parameters were strict in their simplicity - kill before you get killed. Quatre knows they're going against the system, the ones who initially ordered the Gundams to be made, but he doesn't know why this is done.
The first person Quatre meets on earth becomes his friend during the series - the mysterious boy named Trowa. They met at a base in Corsica, and while they initially started fighting, Quatre thought it was wrong, and surrendered. As it turned out, Trowa did the exact same and the brief enemies became friends. Later on, Quatre meets the other Gundam pilots at the fateful battle at New Edwards, and he express his belief in them to Rashid - he just know they're his friends. While Rashid may be a bit more cautious, Quatre instinctively trusts the other Gundam pilots.
