Oliver Howell was a trueborn member of Clan Smoke Jaguar which survived its annihilation.
History[edit]
Oliver won a Howell Bloodname and fought on Huntress during Operation SERPENT. He was one of his Clan's survivors but was not taken as a bondsman. He joined his former commander Russou Howell, aka "the Jaguar," to fight a guerrilla against Second Star League forces garrisoning Huntress, becoming one of Russou's most trusted lieutenants. As such, on 22 June 3060 along with another warrior, "Jester," he escorted Russou to a meeting inside the Jungle with Paul Moon, bondsman of the Star League. He wanted to ensure his Clan's survival, but Moon and Russou did not reach common ground.[2]
On 13 August, Howell and Jester escorted Russou to another meeting with Moon and Baldur. Both wanted to make an Exodus with part of their Clan to Wayside V to preserve its essence, and needed Russou's help. Though Russou and his men didn't agree to join his Exodus, both groups agreed to cooperate.[3]
The escape was successful, but Oliver did not join Moon's group. The Clan Goliath Scorpion Watch had identified him as one of the Jaguar's trusted advisors, and Galaxy Commander Rik Myers, obsessed with taking the Jaguars as isorla for his Clan, had him captured. Howell was surprised in a bar, and three Scorpions beat him until he fell unconscious. He awakened on 10 May 3061 in a Goliath command post. Myers wanted to know the fleeing Jaguars' destination. He threatened to torture Howell with necrosia, but Howell refused to divulge the information, and defied Myers to torture him. Three days later, Howell was dead, but Myers had extracted the information from him.[1]
