Background and History
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 eleven, circumstance changed, which forced him to move in with his father. A half-brother and half-blood, living in a pureblood environment with so many siblings, Oliver struggled to make himself heard. His loud, often tactless persona could very well be as a result of this. He hasn't seen his mother for 7 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 proved to be been great for Oliver. He adapted quickly to the laid back approach and has matured and mellowed over the three years he attended there. A gifted sportsman, he was Quidditch Captain in his sixth year, and his qualities as a fair and understanding leader became apparent quickly. In his seventh year at school he was made Head Boy (which confused him no end as to why anyone would think he was suitable), and approached the role calmly and maturely.

He graduated from school this Summer with disappointingly average NEWT grades. Not high enough to get into uni, he set out with determination to find a job to tide him over until he can resit the exams in a year. He accepted a job at Florean Fortescue's and moved out of home as soon as he knew he would have a steady income. He is busy searching for an apartment with his girlfriend of two years, Cameron Caddock.

Personality
(The Light Side) – Oliver is usually found with a bright 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 Oliver. 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.
