Background
Oliver's existence started in a (blink and you'd miss it) fleeting affair between his father, Emmanuel, an old school style pureblood wizard, and his mother, Tallulah, a half blood witch.

He was brought up in the muggle world by his mother in a single parent home and as an only child. At the age of twelve, circumstance changed, which to this day he doesn't understand, forcing him to move in with his father. A half-brother and halfblood, living in a pureblood environment with so many siblings, Oliver struggles to make himself heard and feels the need to vie for attention at all times. Much to his own inner turmoil, he hasn't seen his mother for almost five years now.

Luckily for Oliver, the year he moved in with his father was also the year he was to start school. He was packed off to Durmstrang in the hopes that the regimented, military routine of the school would 'knock some sense into him'. The school was in fact a blessed escape from home for Oliver. The reasons he left Durmstrang are unclear, and those who ask are likely to be met with a dismissive shrug, or a completely different version of events every time he tells the story.

Hogwarts has been great for him and for the first time in his life Oliver has made some real friends. Last year was the 'greatest year of his life so far' despite the situation of being unwittingly under the Imperius Curse. He has matured and mellowed over the last year mainly thanks to the bonds he has formed.

Personality
(The Light Side) – Oliver is usually found with a smile on his face. An optimistic sort who seems to be able to find a joke in any situation. He is an intelligent boy and will turn his hand to anything, not afraid of failing along the way. He cares deeply for those who care about him and has no qualms about telling them. His open and sarcastic way of looking at the world can be amusing to those who understand him. He is inquisitive and curious and isn't afraid to explore new things and ideas. He can be cunning when it suits him and sees this as a positive feature which he uses to get what he wants out of certain situations. Never one to hold a grudge, he is forgiving and can instantly forget an argument once apologies have been uttered. He can talk his way out of a paper bag most situations.

(The Dark Side) - Obnoxious and irritating are the first words that spring to mind on first encounters with this seemingly emotionally untouchable boy. An ego the size of Jupiter, a sarcastic wit and answer for everything. Oliver has the frustrating fondness for winding people up to the point of explosion for no other reason than to pass the time.

He suffers from ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) which means his boredom threshold is low and this partnered with his curiosity pave the way for some pretty reckless behaviour.

Friends
Miranda BelCanto – 6th year Hufflepuff Quidditch Captain and best friend whom Oliver lovingly refers to as 'Rodent Girl'. Oliver met Miranda at the start of term feast when he first started the school as a fifth year. The meeting wasn't the best start to their friendship and a rather aggressive food fight broke out between the two. They soon became friends and have been through so much together that their close friendship was inevitable.
Nancy Hudonson – 7th year Slytherin Prefect – Nancy and Oliver weren't really friends until she found him in a pool of his own blood in the Slytherin common room following the illegal duel he fought in whilst under the Imperius Curse. He is sure if it hadn't been for her, he wouldn't be around today. He returned the favour, however, when she turned up in spookily similar circumstances.
Cameron Caddock – 6th year Gryffindor – Oliver met Cameron following an accident in the Quidditch shop on Diagon Alley. He stood on her toe and very kindly attempted to heal it; accidentally transfiguring her toe into a life size gherkin. He ran away and the girl took chase (gherkin toe and all), tackling him to the ground. Their odd companionship has only recently turned into friendship.
Sarah Griffin – 6th year Hufflepuff Prefect – The prefect who stopped the food fight with Miranda at the start of term feast. A rocky start for these two. The girl fought Oliver during the battle last year, punching him repeatedly in the face and he hexed at close range in return. Ever since apologies were exchanged the two have got along rather well.
Dillon (Digzy) Greenwood - 5th year Slytherin – and nephew – Oliver is oblivious to Dillon's dislike of him. He sees the boy as a mate and quietly looks out him at all times. Dillon is only a year younger than Oliver and yet Oliver is his uncle.
Roxanna De Rivera - 2nd year Gryffindor and adopted little sister – Langlocked (by names we wont mention eh, Nancy?), frightened and alone after the battle last year, Oliver assisted in getting Roxxy to the healer. He's felt protective towards the girl ever since.
Wesley A. Reagan - 4th year Hufflepuff and adopted lil' sister – They met in Divination class following a badly placed comment by Oliver and got chatting after class.
Lorelei Bristol - 6th year Hufflepuff – Lori, Lori, Lori.. what's to be said about this girl? Oliver met Lori after a Quidditch match. She threw herself into his arms () following a win by the Badgers (or Rodents as Oliver affectionately calls them). The got talking and Oliver 'inadvertently' insulted the 'House of Hufflepuff'. To cut a long story short, Oliver ended up being beaten repeatedly by the heel of Lori's shoe – the other of which ended up thrown onto the Quidditch pitch by the Slytherin boy.. and the rest is history.
