Name: Oliver Queen
Alias: Arrow
Age: 35
:Home Town Starling City
:Current Home Star City

When Oliver and his best friend  Tommy entered their early 20's they got into multiple social scandals together.  These included assaulting a paparazzi bystander, driving while intoxicated, stealing a taxi, and urinating on a police officer. At some point the two were also acquainted with McKenna Hall. The Arrow met Laurel's sister, Sara. At one of Tommy's parties Sara sneaked out to see Oliver, as she had a crush on him, and the three were busted by the cops leaving Sara grounded. Oliver later started dating Laurel.

Oliver has also dropped out of four schools, the last one he never told Moira or Robert about until just before the Queen Gambit's trip. Oliver was on the Queen's Gambit with his father and Sara. A shipwreck occurred, leaving only Oliver, Robert, and one other crew member as the only survivors. As there were not enough provisions to keep all of them alive, Oliver's father chose to give his son a better chance at survival by shooting first the other survivor, then himself, but not before telling Oliver that their wealth had been built on the suffering of others, and it was up to him to make things right and to survive.

Sometime later, Oliver landed ashore upon an island. There, while burying his father, Oliver found a book filled with blank pages in Robert's pocket. Immediately after, a hooded man (later revealed to be named Yao Fei) shot Oliver with an arrow in the shoulder. Oliver awoke sometime later in the man's camp, where he tended to Oliver's wound. After Yao Fei fell asleep, Oliver tried to escape but was snared in a trap. He was cut down shortly after by Yao Fei  cutting him down and walking off, leaving Oliver with no other choice but to follow him.

While hunting one day, he tried to shoot Yao Fei's bow, but missed his target, a tree. He went to fetch the rabbit Yao Fei killed, but was captured by the previously armed men. They brought him to their camp, where he was then interrogated by their leader, Edward Fyers. Fyers showed him a picture of Yao Fei, asking if Oliver had seen him, revealing the man's name as well as the island's: Lian Yu (meaning "purgatory" in Chinese). Oliver denied any knowledge of Yao Fei in order to protect him. Not believing him, Fyers ordered an employee of his, Billy Wintergreen, to torture Oliver for more information. Yao Fei barged in, rescuing Oliver and brought him back to the cave. He then left to lead Edward's men away from their hideout, but not before telling Oliver to survive, and sealing the entrance to prevent Oliver from following him.

Oliver was said to be on this island for five years though later that is revealed that it wasn't true. After his return to Starling City he was given several medical exams that revealed that he had multiple scars, burns and bone fractures that had never properly healed. He returned home with his mother to the rest of the family. Thea his sister was still having issues with his return and getting over the fact that he was still alive. After returning, Oliver planned to spend some time with his family before beginning his life as a vigilante. However, an unexpected kidnapping of him and Tommy by three kidnappers forced him to move up his plans after describing to the police a man in a green hood saved them. His Mother's "concern" for Oliver's safety after the kidnapping decided to hire John Diggle, who he had to continually ditch begin his life as a vigilante. his first target was Adam Hunt, a man who stole from people. Oliver demanded $40 million into a certain Starling bank account but when he didn't comply, Oliver took it by force using an arrow transmitter that made the wiring untraceable. Oliver then crossed Adam Hunt's name off The List and continued crossing more names off the list. During this time he met another Barry Allen though he was one of the few that knew him as The Flash. He had met others in his first year that helped him out as well who he gradually let in and they formed team Arrow.

When the election for mayor of Star city came up, Oliver decided to run so he could protect the city both day and night. After winning the race Oliver was faced with a few challenges that he had not considered he would face in office.
