♞ Personality: ♞
Being a teacher at Maverick High, Oliver is a highly respected, highly studious individual who appreciates those willing and eager to learn from him. This doesn’t make him a narcissist; only one who is so passionate about his craft that sharing it with others is the only thing he can think to better those around him. His drive and passion is not dissimilar to Thalia, however he channels his intensity within the classroom and not out on others. Many students find him ‘cringy’ due to his upbeat way of teaching and energised mannerisms. However, Oliver, though married to the art of Shakespeare, has had few good experiences in the topic of love. His previous ex-fiance having left him due to his emotional nature and extreme devotion to the classroom. In some ways he prioritised his students over her at times, taking late nights for extra curricular classes and attending early in the morning. Her reasons for leaving him were justified however it only broke the poor man down and his self-confidence is in shambles upon the very thought of his own self-worth. He is a wounded creature but that has never allowed him to be affected; his mood and cheeriness as adamant as the day he began to teach. Though at times the sadness does shine through, and his tired blue eyes cannot help but show the truth.

♞ Backstory: ♞
Though born to a British family and having been raised for the first few years of his life in South England, Oliver was brought to America from a young age when his mother left his father, bringing him to the States for a ‘New Start’ as she’d call it. Though it was clear Oliver’s mother was far from being fresh and a new person. She had lived a turbulent life and slept around often; never fully committed to a career and never truly ‘Happy’. Oliver was a young teenager when Thalia was born, and it was then clear that the emotional tsunami that was his life until that moment would never improve. When Thalia’s father took full custody of his half-sister due to the incessant neglect and mental illness that their mother had put them all through, Oliver left her to make his own way in the world. At the age of sixteen, with little to do with money or no less a career, Thredson began to work. He worked and worked and worked until the exhaustion of his small life had fully overwhelmed him, trying desperately to create funds for an escape. It was then he moved back to England, given the opportunity to attend university to study English due to his unfortunate background. He was provided a full scholarship and completed his degree all the way to his doctorate with high esteem, high regard and well liked by his peers and teachers. He always held that sadness for his mother within him however and fears one day he will end up in her situation. During the time of New Game, Oliver has not heard from his mother in 6 years, however has heard she fell on even worse times and turned to drugs as an escape.

Oliver will forever feel guilty that he couldn’t help her through her demons, however his colleagues often remind him that it is not his place to help her; that escaping her was one of the best things likely to have happened to him. Oliver doesn’t know if he agrees.

Since his fiancé left him, Oliver has been alone in his little flat, with only his Cocker Spaniel, Ophelia, there to accompany him. He adores his old girl.

Since Thalia’s father removed her from their mother, Oliver had only heard from his little sister a handful of times before he began to teach at Maverick. From his impressions she was a sweet, gentle young girl with a similar affinity for literature and knowledge. However, upon meeting her it was clear the trauma of their youth had taken its toll on Thalia the most, sheltering herself from the world and even Oliver, whom she treated like a stranger from the moment she realised the truth. No one knows of their familial ties and Oliver kept it that way in respect to his little sister, of whom he still adores. He often watched out for her and secretly took care of any bullying or small issues if he realised were occurring to her.

At the time of the ‘earthquake’ Oliver had stayed behind after class to grade essays.
