Crossed[]
In the old world, Oliver was a Caucasian male in his apparent forties who worked as a scientist and teacher with a degree in anthropology. When the Crossed virus began turning innocent people into violent lunatics, Oliver gathered with several other un-infected and took up shelter in a large building.
Whereas others sought a way to combat the infected, Oliver instead spent a great deal of time observing them; studying them and learning as much as he could about their habits and proclivities. It was Oliver who formulated the tactic of covering oneself with blood and marking their faces with trademark cruciform rash of the infected so that they could move about within their ranks without exposing themselves as un-infected.
