Fictional Background
Born in an Alemt research facility, somewhere in Canada as Oliver Isaac Moorland to parents Dr. Anna Martin and Dr Judah Moorland, Oliver was not as clever as his parents and found more happiness in physical pursuits. His parents, did work in Almets R&D on projects that kept them moving to various sites over the years, leading Oliver to have a rather lonely childhood.

When Oliver was 11, his parents were killed in an act of sabotage on the site, the details were not made clear to Oliver and to this date, he is unaware of who is to blame. With out much direction Oliver joined a military school to later graduate and join Almets security forces.

Oliver worked his way through ranks over a long career and various deployment both internal with Almet and around the world with joint ventures stopping the kinds of people he would one day become. Such advancements came with new opportunities such as signing up for field testing a new type of subdermal armor.

Oliver was security for the research and development department of chemistry and toxicology in great lakes, Canada. He dealt with a number of incidents from other companies espionage teams to riots from the indentured workers and penal test subjects. Oliver's career ended after a pursuit of an enemy agent lead into areas beyond his clearance, where he saw strange devices. Subsequent questions about things above his clearance got his boss to sit him down and tell him he was being retired to a low level desk job.

A co-worker later contacted Oliver giving him partial information on what Oliver was asking about only to leave him with more questions. As she was on the way out to join some group called the chrome road with some interesting people like Vector, Sideways and Knight she wouldn't have any more info for him. Oliver now thinks that the number of prisoners they had was excessive especially since nobody on his block even knew they took prisoners for testing and maybe they where developing chemical weapons like in the old war they certainly had enough security. He wants to find the truth what Almet and other corporations have really been up to post-WWIV, and with not much longer to live he decided to start playing for the red team.

After the events of [Session 9 - Children of the Sun] all of Oliver's background was proven to be a fictitious imagining pieced together from various entertainment media as he suffers from a side effect of the Almet deniable human weapon program, that causes him to lose memories if not subject to certain memetic procedures every few months.
