He lived an easy and simple life as a toddler until he turned 3. While he was at a Park during a Toddler Tantrum Oakey displayed magic that scared his parents very much. Afraid of his power and if he could recreate the same kind of unknown powers he did but far worse they abandoned him in a park. While he was crying and calling for his parents his latent magic was again manifesting. The commotion was quickly discovered by then American Quidditch Star Harvey Gunter who calmed him and promised to help him find his parents. Within a year the single Harvey Gunter adopted Oakey to be his Son and moved to England for help from his Mother to raise the young Oakey.
In the years Oakey was taken into his new Family his adoptive father also took in his nephew, Aegis. The two of them became brothers. Bickering at times, but they grew to like one another as the years went by.
Oakey then began his years at Hogwarts. He was sorted into the Hufflepuff House and thus began is foray officially within the magical world. He made many friends during his time at Hogwarts. his Best Friend he made from day one was Slytherin, Mordred Mordaunt. The two were inseparable. Exploring Pirate Ships or whatever else came there way during the terms together. It was at Hogwarts that he also met his Wife, Ariana Logan. An awkward and chance encounter after a School Quidditch Match started it all. He would also form bonds with some Professors. Josephine Hadley his Head of House and Arithmancy Professor who pushed him to follow a career into Curse Breaking. Also the Astronomy Professor Airey Flamsteed who encouraged him and convinced him that he was perfect to be the Head Boy when he was selected in his final year at School.
In the Summer of his second year after finishing his Second Term at Hogwarts. The Gunter's took a beach vacation. It was here that Oakey's life would chance for worse. While he was playing in the shallow waters a Mackled Malaclaw took a nasty nip at his ankle. The Gunter's tried to keep Oakey safe in the week after to let the Bad Luck pass but the week became a Month and then a Month became two months and his bad luck would not subside. During a visit to St. Mungo's they discovered that Oakey's Shellfish allergies played a strange part in the lingering bad luck. The magical after effects stayed so long as Oakey would always be allergic to Shellfish. So for a long long long time. Overtime they did many things to help keep the bad luck in check. charmed rabbit's foots, four leaf clovers, Mordred even gifted him a Pet Beetle he claimed could help with the bad luck. The most effective deterrent that was discovered was the Felix Felicis Potion. Where many who took it would expereince good luck, when Oakey took it the effects of his bad luck would be partially nullified.
After Oakey Graduated from Hogwarts he took a year for himself. He traveled the world. From Mexico to Japan Oakey visited many locations and learned as much about each culture and their history's. After that year passed Oakey finally married Ariana Logan and then shortly after they had their first child. Xaria Gunter and then a year after had their first Son, Mark Gunter. They moved to Cairo, Egypt while Oakey studied at Cairo WU and worked Night Security at a Magical Artifacts Museum & Vault. After some time Ariana became pregnant with their third child. Tessa Gunter unfortunately died at birth. It wouldn't be for another two years that they would try again. Cairo Gunter was born and Ariana said "No More."
Then they adopted Drewett Slinkhard and made him a Gunter. Much like how Harvey had done for Oakey
Oakey held many professions between graduation to now. Mentioned before he worked briefly as Night Security for a Magical Artifacts Museum & Vault. He would then briefly begin his work into Curse Breaking. He worked under a Freelancer who frequented the Museum in Cairo bringing in cursed and magical items to them. He would have to quit after some time when it was discovered the Freelance Curse Breaker took advantage of his Bad Luck making him trigger deadly traps. One which sent him to St. Mungo's with some nasty burns licking up his left arm. He would not continue his work with Curse Breaking after that. So he took a Job at the Ministry of Magic working with the Accident's and Catastrophes Department as a Spell Reversal Specialist. During this time at the Ministry he would also begin studying for his Masters in Rune Study, and he found a love for teaching. After graduating he took a job back at Cairo University as an Associate Professor for Rune Study, and this would then grow into his last job teaching the same subject at Edinburgh.
