Personality: He has a funny, laid-back personality. He had a pretty normal life growing up in Ellesmera, so he doesn't have much to hide from his past.

Weaknesses:

-Since he is not fully elf, he is not quite as skilled as a full elf.

Relationships:

Arya: His boss, but also his friend. He cares for Firnen when she can't, and serves as an ambassador for the elves and Eragon. Arya is friendly to him though. She compares him to a little brother.

Skeyler: His crush. The first time they met she seemed helpless, but then when they got to know each other, Oliver began to like her, and found out that she is definitely not helpless. Oliver started to form a crush on her; even though once they get to the island they will probably not see each other very much.

Firnen: He loves the dragon and cares for him, like a beloved pet, but a little different because of the dragon's intelligence.

Backstory:

Oliver was born of an elven mother and human father. This makes him a half elf. He is an only child. He grew up in Ellesmera with his parents. Even though his father was not an elf, he did help a group of elves out one time though, saving multiple lives. Because of this he is welcome in Ellesmera and is trusted in a very high authority. Because Oliver is his son he got to grow up reasonably wealthy. The trust the elves, including the queen, gave Ollie's family got him a chance at a good job of caring for Firnen, the queen's dragon. Because he did so well at his job and, like the famous rider Eragon, is half-elf and half-human, he was offered the job of being the ambassador between Eragon and the elves. He transported some eggs and went to check on progress with Eragon. Now, Eragon currently only had 2 students. One of them leaves the island and disappears every once in a while. Because of this Ollie has never met her. The other, Ollie had taken to the island himself and met her a few times since then. Sometimes Arya will go with him to the island, but most of the time she is too busy, being the ambassador between the dragons and all the other races. She also has her duties as the queen of the elves, and a dragon rider herself. Because Oliver knows where the island is and goes there often, he was chosen to escort Skeyler to the island so she can train with Eragon. Along the journey, Oliver starts to crush on Skeyler which makes things hard for him knowing that she will have to leave. Also along the journey they find another rider. Oliver, finding out that her name was Raevyn and that her black dragon was Onyx, asked her to join them in the journey, since she was the student of Eragon whom he had never met. Little did he know, it would cause some problems with Skeyler, because Raevyn's father killed Skeyler's parents.

Hobbies:

-Caring for Firnen
