Personality and character

Oliver is completely obsessed with beauty, and has very few moral qualms in his pursuit of this aim. He enjoys collecting beautiful laguz such as herons, and will go to violent lengths to protect them. Nevertheless, he has an odd sense of protectiveness when it comes to those he finds beautiful, and is the only Begnion senator who will actually oppose the goddess Ashera due to this trait. His defection to Ike's forces utterly flabbergasts his new allies, who generally want nothing to do with him. His over-the-top personality is generally played for comic relief during the Radiant Dawn endgame.
