oliver samuel marbot garrett

Name:
Oliver’s name means peace, like extending an olive branch. He likes to think that it’s actually the Germanic version which means “Elf army.” Samuel and Marbot are both family middle names. Samuel has been the middle name of men his dad’s family going back generations. Marbot is Oliver’s grandmother’s maiden name, and when his dad was born he was given it as a middle name because it is an honorable and noble French name. The last name Garrett means strong or brave. Oliver goes by Ollie to his close friends and family.

Male

Age:
Seventeen

Sexuality:
Pansexual


Personality:
It doesn’t take much to get Oliver excited. Oliver is an extremely out-going and excitable person. He is usually bouncing-off-the-walls excited about whatever it is he is doing at the time. Oliver is great with words, but he often gets ahead of himself and ends up tripping over his words or rambling on. People are naturally drawn towards Oliver, but he is utterly unaware of it. He can be utterly inept in social situations, not reading the room very well. Oliver is a Ravenclaw. He is obsessed with history and the past and storytelling. Ollie can get caught up in his stories and sometimes lose touch with reality. One of his bigger character flaws is that sometimes he forgets that other people are different than him, or even there at all. He can expect people to react in the same way that he would or doesn’t think about what they would do at all. He tends to have more empathy for the dead than living people he less than loves.  It is total irony that this happy go lucky kid is the son of death. The darkness that inevitably is inside of him terrifies him to his very core, and it when it breaks out, Oliver falls apart.

History:
Oliver was born in the heart of New Orleans. Even at a young age he loved the music and the mystics of the southern swampland. His mother ran a magic shop off the square and they lived above it. Oliver got to witness the culture of his city right from his front door. He would often sit outside the store and just talk to everyone who walked by. School didn’t mean to much to him because he’d rather be outside meeting people. When he was growing up, though, Oliver was prone to violent outbursts and weird thing would happen. He later learned this was a side effect of his father.

Oliver was 9 when his life really began to change. His outbursts were getting more and more common and his mom couldn’t keep lying to him much longer. He started to hate himself more and more and would lock himself in his room for days on and end to not hurt anyone. Jasmine decided that she had to be honest with Oliver. It was a rollercoaster for a couple years. This is when he started his journey to camp, through being trained with wolf, and making it to Camp Jupiter in August of 2014. That was when he was 12.
