Personal history
Born to blue-collared farmers, Oliver spent a lot of his time working the fields of his home. His childhood was filled with spices: harvesting, sorting by hand, and selling in the market. Still, whilst being happy in his work, he often dreamed of magic. He discovered the "cursed fields" at the edge of his home, and spent a lot of time there, exploring the magic that had "ruined" their farm. When he was old enough, he left to study at the library of Certa, determined to become a wizard. After 15 years in Certa, however, he'd only reached the status of archivist. He was sent to work in the Moralands, researching the innate magic users there. Still he dreamed of being wizard, practicing his rituals and spells every day despite his lack of vitraxine. Until one day, with on vitraxine in sight, Oliver cast his first spell. Lacking knowledge, he made the decision to keep it a secret, wanting to fully understand what had happened to him before reporting his finds. And so he committed his first crime as well.
Education
At age 11, he began his studies at the libraries of Certa. He studied for 15 years, eventually coming to the status of archivist where he stagnated for another 10 as he went to research in the Moralands and was forgotten there.
Employment
Hired by the Library of Certa to research innate casters in the Moralands.
