“	They're here to steal my bird! Their souls are black with greed and jealousy! I have found beauty incarnate, and I will not relinquish it! Only I, Duke Tanas, can appreciate its worth!	”	— Oliver

Oliver (Japanese: オリヴァー Oliver) is a Begnion Senator and possesses an unhealthy obsession with herons. He often refers to himself as "the champion of beauty" and collects various pieces of artwork and seeks to own a heron laguz.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

Role

Oliver is first seen at the end of Chapter 15, when he makes a deal with Naesala to buy Reyson. Reyson is then tricked into sleeping in Oliver’s manor, where he is captured and imprisoned.

In Chapter 16, the Greil Mercenaries investigate Oliver for laguz slavery on Sanaki’s orders. Mist and Titania discover Reyson in a hidden room, but he escapes and Oliver orders his men to kill them. Oliver then flees.

In Chapter 17, Oliver orders his men to find and retrieve Reyson from the ruins of Serenes Forest, and to kill the Greil Mercenaries after they arrive to stop him. He also orders them to capture Leanne once he is aware of her existence.

Oliver makes his first and only boss appearance in the fourth part of Chapter 17, where he is defeated and supposedly executed.

Oliver becomes playable in the Trial Maps when the player clears the game three times. Oliver uses his Normal mode stats and equipment in the Trial Maps.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

Role

Oliver was secretly spared by the senate after being found out as a slave trader in the Mad King’s War. As a result of being in hiding from those loyal to Sanaki, Oliver does not appear until part 4, chapter 4.

After the Greil Army rest in Oliver’s manor for the night, Hetzel instructs Oliver to command the Disciples of Order and kill them all. Oliver initially intends to comply with this due to the senate’s generosity toward him, but upon seeing Rafiel, he quickly defects, much to the disgust of the army and confusion of his fellow senators.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Oliver is a Saint who joins on Ike's team. He is mostly a joke unit, having decent bases in HP, magic, luck and resistance; but terrible bases in skill (though this doesn't really bother him due to decent Luck and light magic being accurate), speed and defense, to the point of being doubled and nearly one-rounded by most enemies. Oliver probably won't be able to contribute much in his join chapter, because most of the enemies around him need to be cleared out to recruit him safely; which limits his contributions to endgame. Oliver's combat is very bad due to his aforementioned terrible speed and defense; but he does have a useful A rank in staves (which can be improved with the plentiful Arms Scrolls in 4-E-1 bargains), so he can function as a decent backup staffbot in the Tower, but only if you have no other options.

Oliver has a mediocre HP growth, a weirdly high strength growth, and a decent speed growth, but the rest of his growth rates are low. He is close to capping his HP and strength, so if Oliver is to be used, BEXP can help him patch up his speed a little, but his defense will still be bad and his speed cap of 30 limits his combat past 4-E-3.

Oliver starts with no skills apart from his mastery skill Corona, which has a low and heavily fluctuating activation rate due to his low skill and extreme biorhythm cycle. Due to his low skill and speed, Oliver does not make good use of most offensive skills. Oliver has decent HP, so Wrath or Resolve can help him offensively or defensively, respectively. Due to his poor durability, Oliver benefits most from Shade or possibly Volke's Stillness, though they should not be relied upon. Additionally, Oliver can be an okay user of Miracle due to his decent luck, but Miracle is fairly unreliable.

Oliver has a fire affinity which gives attack and hit. Oliver benefits somewhat from these bonuses, as they improve his unremarkable hit rates and his attack, but he still should not be seeing much combat. Oliver appreciates any support that gives avoid, as his defense is mostly unsalvageable. Note that most laguz units gain support points extremely slowly with him, so he probably doesn't have time to build up supports with them.

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.

Must we fight to the death, and deprive the world of one of our beautiful countenances? Can other lovers of beauty endure such a loss? Sephiran: I confess that your presence has me bewildered. Could this be part of Yune's plan? I simply never would have imagined you here. Your presence proves that Tellius is unravelling at the seams. Judgement cannot come soon enough.	”	— Oliver, when fighting Sephiran in Part IV, Endgame (4) of Radiant Dawn.
