Olliver
Olliver is one of Thorn's two Beacons, and his card reads Thorn's Beacon (The Brawn). BE E1·00:20:51 BE E1·00:23:15 He is a slighter, pale gray-brown stoat, very clearly the runt of his litter. BE E1·00:23:06 Thorn hands him the job of dealing with the badger, and he is made to scritch it. BE E1·00:22:59 BE E1·00:32:21
Olliver has been with Thorn for a year, and with Teedles he stands with Thorn after the dust takes the camp. BE E1·00:38:09 BE E1·01:39:35 He backs up Thorn's count of the monsters he has repelled, and tells Ava she is good at keeping a family alive in a hole in the ground. BE E2·00:07:33 BE E2·00:17:52 He is found with Teedles at a felled tree, and cries along with Thorn, and Aabria says he collects leaves to bring back to Jaysohn. BE E3·00:50:27 BE E3·00:56:52 BE E3·01:43:46
At Last Bast he warns that the group will be treated as poachers, and takes a sash from Tula. BE E4·00:25:18 BE E5·01:07:20 He and Teedles take a place in the yellow corridor. BE E5·01:07:48 Later he has become a police officer, pins Thorn with an arm bar, and offers jerky. BE E8·00:59:51 BE E8·01:01:23 BE E8·01:01:51 He says "Teedles runs my shit." BE E8·01:00:48
