HISTORY Oliver Alexander Ulrich's birth was a quick and almost painless affair. Eva, not wanting to ruin her body, insisted on having a C-section, and because she was married to Garrett Ulrich, one of the richest men in the world, whatever she wanted, she got. Once he was bathed and wrapped in an expensive blanket - a gift from his grandmother, Eva and Garrett held their son for the first time. Garrett had been proud, because he'd always wanted a son, Eva less so, because she'd wanted a daughter. But it didn't matter because she had given Garrett a son. Oliver was her trophy.

The first few months after his birth, Eva adored and fussed over her child, they had been inseparable. She spent hours playing with him, dressing him in cute and ridiculously expensive baby clothes and showing him off to her friends. But even so, Eva, who spent most of her time preening herself and attending parties, was never meant to be a mother. So when he cried for hours on end, she would pass him off to the nanny to take care of. And when she fell pregnant again, she began to dismiss him more and more, to the point that when his littler sister was born, he was practically being raised by his Nanny, Bethany. He'd even taken to calling her 'mama' when he'd first learned to speak and when Eva had found out, she'd been furious. From then on Bethany was made to be at Eva's side with Oliver in tow at all times so that she could be near her son.

Eva had been delighted when she'd learned that she was having a daughter and lavished Casey with attention and gifts the moment she was born. Oliver still got attention from his mother, but not quite as much. Growing up, he had anything and everything a child could ever ask for. He was spoiled with fancy clothes, toys and a room that was far too big for an infant - because of course Eva's son was going to have the best of everything, even though all he wanted was his parents attention. And it was because of this want and desire for attention that when he turned four he began to misbehave and act out. He would run around the manor, dragging crayola crayons against the walls, making a mess of his room and hiding his mothers jewellery so that she'd have to pay him some attention.

A year passed and his behavior worsened to the point that a doctor was brought in because his mother believed he suffered with ADD. He underwent tests and the like for a good few weeks when the doctor informed Eva that he didn't have ADD, he just needed to be shown more love and attention from his parents. Eva had been red faced with embarrassment and had stormed out of the Doctors office, Oliver in tow. She had felt humiliated but it had been the kick up the ass she'd needed. From then on she began to spend more time with her son and his bad behavior improved. But even though he had his mothers attention, he didn't have his fathers.

Garrett was never home. A business man, he was always away from home, traveling all over the world on business trips. When Oliver and Casey were old enough, Eva would fly them around the world too, on their private jet to wherever it was Garrett was working, so that they could spend more time together as a family. But even then they never saw their dad much because there was always a meeting or dinner he had to attend. And even though Oliver grew used to his father never being around, he still craved his attention and approval. Right up until he had an accident where he fell down the stairs and landed himself in hospital for three weeks straight. He broke his leg and had a concussion but his father didn't visit him once and that had a strong and lasting affect on the youngster.

Because of the neglect he felt from his father and even his mother at times, Oliver withdrew into himself. He became irritable, hard and guarded to the point where he wouldn't let anybody in, not even his little sister. He was angry all of the time and had gone from being relatively social to being totally anti-social. The only friends he'd had had been the ones in the books he read. And it was that way until the very sudden and unexpected arrival of his half brother, Hunter. Oliver had been surprised to learn that he had a half brother and that he was moving in with the family. He had been wary of his presence at first and it had taken him a while to warm to and open up to Hunter, but he eventually found that he liked having an older male figure in his life. It had always been him, his sister and mother. Having Hunter there was a refreshing change and surprisingly therapeutic for him. He'd never admit it but having Hunter around helped him open up some. Sure he was still guarded and irritable but he didn't get angry all of the time and he didn't feel entirely alone in his family anymore.

It was just before his fourteenth birthday that he learned he was Gifted with Wind, just like his father. And it wasn't long at all before the Scouts tracked him down and he was invited to attend the Academy. Initially he had been nervous and because of his anti-social behavior, didn't make many friends. But thanks to Hunter, he managed to get through his first year just fine. He's now entered the tenth grade and is working hard to control his gift and do well with his studies, because even though he dislikes his father, there's a part of him that still desperately wants to impress him.
