At some point, he and his brother were shipped out and sent to Goldy Pond to become prey for the Poachers to hunt.

Personality
Oliver appears to be a strong-willed person who cares deeply about the well being of his comrades. He also holds a strong grudge against the Poachers for all the harm and bloodshed they caused. This made him decide to form the Goldy Pond Resistance in order to destroy Goldy Pond and defeat the demons He is also very kind-hearted to his friends and family and makes sure no one is in danger or scared.

Search For Minerva Arc
Oliver is first seen when he informs the newcomers about the upcoming hunting game that takes place in Goldy Pond. He explained the rules, that there is no way to escape and that the best course of action is to just run and hide until the music stops playing, however, this information is not taking seriously by the children who just thought of it as something dumb. Oliver was seen again after the hunt, asking Zack how many children died today. To which Zack replied with four. After a while, Oliver was introduced to Emma by his comrade, Violet who told Emma before that there was someone who wanted to meet her. This turned out to be Oliver who heard of her arrival at Goldy Pond.

He began explaining the situation to Emma. He told her about the fact that he and his other comrades came from the Grand Valley orphanage and are currently surviving together in Goldy Pond. Oliver tells her about how they want to destroy Goldy Pond and requests her help to do so, which Emma agrees on. However, Emma asks him how they know all this information if they aren't escapees like her. To which he replies that a 'certain someone' told them. While saying that, an adult man walks into the room, who turns out to be Lucas.

Return to Grace Field Arc
Oliver aids Emma, Gillian, Don, Gilda, Ray, Norman, and Ayshe significantly in the plan to take over Grace Field House.

Human World Arc
Upon arriving in the Human World, Oliver is seen to be visibly worried and shocked about Emma's disappearance. Oliver, along with the other children, agrees to search for Emma so they can reunite with her again. Over the next two years spent in the Human World, Oliver began attending school. During spring 2049, he finally reunites with Emma again and cries tears of joy, even though she lost her memories. In the special epilogue chapter, Dreams Come True, Oliver, along with Violet, has become a pilot.

Leadership
Serving as the leader of the Goldy Pond Resistance movement, he has therefore gained a lot of confidence from his comrades. So much, that they started calling him their leader. Precisely because he is the leader of the Goldy Pond Resistance, he makes the decisions about what needs to be done within the movement and he addresses the new orphans every month. He also gives orders to his comrades and leads the first aid post of Goldy Pond. This shows how good of a leader he is and how much he is respected by his comrades.

Oliver was able to accurately destroy Andrew's shoulder and elbow joints when he was about to kill Alicia.
