"There's a difference, Barry, between having powers and having precision."
Oliver Jonas Queen was born to Robert and Moira Queen on May 16th, 1985 at Star City General. The heir of the multi-billion dollar company, Queen Consolidated, Oliver grew up with a wealthy lifestyle. At just the age of 7, he met and befriended both Tommy Merlyn and Laurel Lance. Both of these individuals would become Oliver's lifelong friends. As they grew up together, they grew closer to one another. Laurel pursued a law degree while Tommy and Oliver continued to enjoy the fortunes generously given to them by their hardworking parents. Not long after they reached their early twenties, Oliver and Laurel had become an item, until Oliver decided to take her sister, Sara, on a trip with his father aboard the Queen's Gambit. When the yacht went down in the South China Sea, Sara was lost in the wreck. Floating in a life raft, Oliver's father, Robert took his own life to preserve the little resources remaining. Several days at sea later, Oliver washed up on the shore of Lian Yu. Purgatory...
Oliver Queen led everyone to believe he spent the past five years on that island. When he finally returned home, he was a changed man. The things needed to survive were drilled into his brain. It wasn't long after his return to Star City that he began to right his father's wrongs. With a list of names in a book, he took on the mantle as Star City's vigilante. The corrupt. The dangerous. All fell victim to the vengeance of the Green Arrow.
It wasn't long before word spread about the vigilante's skillset. About six months after Oliver's return to Star City, he rekindled his previous passions with Sara Lance. Together, they assembled a team to strike back at the League of Assassins. The very foundation of their fortress crumbled around them as the Green Arrow and the White Canary unleashed their wrath with the help of their closest allies.
