Mortally wounded in the final charge, Quincey strikes Dracula's heart and dies rejoicing that Mina's scar has vanished.
Quincey Morris rides the Bistritza bank with John Seward and reaches the Szgany cart at sunset. He forces his way through their knife-ring beside Jonathan Harker, taking a mortal wound in the side but driving his bowie knife into Count Dracula's heart.
After the vampire crumbles, Quincey sinks into the snow. He sees that the scar has disappeared from Mina Harker's forehead and dies with joy that the curse has passed away, surrounded by the friends for whom he repeatedly gave blood, courage, and loyalty.
A vigorous young Texan with brave eyes and fresh features, bloodied by a mortal side wound in the final battle, wearing rugged winter clothes and carrying a bowie knife.
Quincey is the sacrificial heart of the final victory, delivering the killing stroke and measuring its worth by Mina's freedom rather than his own survival.
