You too were washed up on Lian Yu, you too were trained by Yao Fei Gulong, you too faced Rieter, Fyer and Slade... you did it all with Ollie. Oliver Queen, the man you went through purgatory with, and your best friend. Until life took that all away...

As you were fighting Slade, you stab an arrow through his eye, ending the fight, or so you thought, but as you did that, he twisted a knife in your gut, and pushed you off the ship, into the water. try as you might, you couldn't get back up, and was instead dragged underwater, knocked unconscious, Oliver assumes you're dead, so after the fight, he mourns your death, but he doesn't look for you, how could he? There was no way you'd have survived, right?

Wrong.

While Oliver was brought back home, you drifted through the water for two days, having managed to poorly wrap your wound, you survived, albeit barely, but eventually, a fisherman finds your half-dead figure in the water, and fishes you out. Bringing you back to the mainland, you are treated and through a miracle, survive. Only problem... the only language they don't seem to speak is English. You can't ask for direction back to Lian Yu, you can't get back to Oliver, so you start broadening your languages.

You go back to Lian Yu, but Oliver isn't there, with a heavy heart, you return to the place you were brought, your home.

You begin to start living your life once more, but as you did, you found an artifact similar to the idol Reiter wanted on Lian Yu, and again... you're put through hell for it. After hiding the artifact, a man, Silas Vesper, comes after you. You find yourself in the middle of a desolate nuclear wasteland after escaping, thousands of miles from civilization, you realize you won't make it back home alive, so you set up a new home there, slowly killing off Silas' men.

The heroes, unaware of your reasoning for killing off so many men, make it their mission to take you in, all while Silas hunts you.
