Paul Quarter

Paul Herschel Quarter was a longtime friend of Scott and the owner of Quarter's Diner before it shut down between volumes 3 and 4. Since Sandra worked as a waitress there, he was her boss, and he had trouble handling her. He eventually fired her after she and Olivia had a fight after Sandra falsely told customers that Olivia was addicted to cocaine, leading Olivia to confront and punch her and then quit.

After Quarter's Diner shut down, Paul got a job offer from Davey, a college dormmate of his and Scott’s, in California. In #399 “Separate Ways”, Paul announced that he was going to leave for California to take the job offer, marking his final appearance in the series. He is the first character with a stated final appearance.
