Bio

Oliver is a young man traveling from England to the French countryside, seeking tutelage from the mysterious and wealthy Jacques Lebeau. His legal guardian began to suffer from a mysterious illness, driving Oliver to seek out medicine and biology in France to find a cure and help prevent such tragedies in the future. Unfortunately, Oliver's studies and medicine available to his guardian were not enough to save his life, and he perished mid-way through Oliver's studies. He returned home briefly to pay his respects, only to discover the caretaker he left in charge of his guardian misused the funds left behind, and had his remains disposed of as cheaply as possible.

​

This first dent in his faith in humanity would not be the last. Driven by the failings of modern medicine, Oliver sought to advance the field by thinking outside of the box, and pursuing alternative medicines and theories which held promising results. Many of his theories and proposals have been rejected outright by his peers despite Oliver's insistence that their best could not produce results either, and that all avenues of success should be explored. This ridicule from his academic peers left him an unappreciated genius of his time, operating in private without a license with quiet success. However this changed one day, as Jacques, by chance, asked one of his servants about what they saw on their travels to England, as he himself lives life as a recluse. They reported that an interesting man was frequently spotted sitting alone in a park surrounded by stacks of books and papers. Like clockwork, Oliver was seen on the same bench, every single day, at the exact same time. The servant in question struck up a conversation with Oliver, learning that he was seeking occult alternatives to medicine as he ran out of "legitimate" studies to follow. Interested in Oliver and his exploits, Jacques sent for him to be retrieved, where he might help Oliver find the answers he seeks.

Trivia

  • Oliver is fond of Earl Grey and uses its scent often
  • Oliver has an Received Pronounciation accent
  • While Oliver has a pleasant exterior, he often views much of society with a bitter view, caring only for a special few
  • Oliver has a strange relationship with his parents. Even though alive and well, they simply did not have the drive to take care of him, and felt he would be better in the care of a friend of the family. Oliver has no strong feelings one way or another towards them and they mostly avoid one another
  • Oliver's glasses are a special prescription he crafted for himself. At the time, no glassmaker was able to cut a lens that felt quite right, so Oliver prescribed and then cut his own lenses.
  • Oliver is a selective vegetarian, eating primarily vegetables, but is not averse to meat. This preference towards vegetables has earned him a nickname of being called a "rabbit" by Jacques, who's eating habits are polar opposite
  • Oliver has also hinted having strong support for Jacques, despite Jacques' morals and goals. 
  • Oliver isn't the type of person who doubts a genuine act of kindness even if it's under harsh words. He takes actions and intentions over poetic words, as they all can have underlying truths. 

Relations

Jacques Lebeau
Professor

After receiving an invitation to study "alternative academics" by Jacques Lebeau, Oliver has become his protégé, seeing much potential in Oliver and sympathizing with his plight of perpetual unappreciated genius. Jacques is a bit strange, even to Oliver, but the two share a lot in common which has created a strong bond between teacher and student. Oliver is cautiously excited at the prospect of what Jacques has to offer to expand is studies where so many others offered him a roadblock instead.

Peter Kovsky
Master's Prisoner

Oliver doesn't have the highest opinion of Peter due to the incidents following after Jacques' encounter, he takes his actions very personally due to being sensitive and also jacques' being his closest friend, however is conflicted at the actions of his imprisonment.

Servants
Friends

Oliver typically views the servants on the Lebeau estate as a modern marvel, leaving many questions about how they came to be, and the moral and ethical implications of creating such fully realized, yet artificial life. Though he has an intense curiosity with them, Oliver knows better than to meddle in his mentor's affairs, or question his motivations, lest he close the doors to further learning opportunities. He respects the automatons and their service to him, and hopes that perhaps one day, when his primary goals are met, Jacques will reveal their secrets to him.
