— Oliver to Schuyler.

Oliver Hazard-Perry is one of the main characters in the first cycle of the Blue Bloods series and the main protagonist of the second cycle. He was born as a Red Blood, a human, but his family being Conduits, he was always aware of the existence of the Blue Bloods.
Born to one of the oldest human families in service of the vampires, he was assigned as a Human Conduit to Schuyler Van Alen from a very young age — a tradition which got lost among many of the Blue Blood families. Eventually, Oliver became Schuyler's best friend and confidant. He eventually fell in love with Schuyler.
Physical appearance[]
Oliver Hazard-Perry is characterized as a tall and slim teen at 5'11" with chestnut brown hair and unusual hazel eyes. His fair, elfin face lends him a delicate yet remarkable appearance that is frequently praised for its polished and even otherworldly appeal.
Though he loves the easiness of comfortable clothing—simple jeans, T-shirts, and button-downs—he has an undeniable sense of fashion, frequently choosing things from the most costly and stylish brands available. His outfit displays both a casual attitude and a subtle sophistication, influenced by regular shopping trips to SoHo, where he indulges his love of designer labels. Oliver's entire appearance combines youthful appeal with understated elegance, allowing him to effortlessly stand out in any crowd.
As a vampire[]
In Vampires of Manhattan, Oliver appears to be nearly thirty years old and undeniably muscular. He used to slouch, but now he stands up straight and confidently. His posture exudes confidence and control. His chestnut-brown hair was chopped close to the scalp in a sharp Caesar cut, and his warm hazel eyes, which had been soft, had hardened into a steely piercing glare.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Born into one of the oldest families of Red Bloods in service to the vampires, Oliver was raised with the knowledge of their existence, fully aware that one day, he, too, would serve them.
When he was in second grade, he was given his first mission: to protect Schuyler Van Alen, the young near-orphan daughter of Allegra Van Alen and a member of one of the last Blue Blood families to ask for the services of human conduits. One day, when Schuyler's nanny forgot to pack her lunch, he thus offered to share his lettuce and his mayo sandwich with her. And soon enough, a friendship grew between the two misfits.

A wish granted[]
According to Vampires of Manhattan, the Almighty granted Oliver immortality following the final battle. He is the only human who has ever received this gift. At the start of the book he is the second of the command of the coven, Regent. After the battle, most of the blue bloods had decided to return to paradise. This left the New York coven in shambles, and made it easier for Oliver to quickly rise up the ranks. He did not want to put himself Regis so quickly, he wanted to rebuild the coven and establish trust between him and the other Blue Bloods, especially because of his status as the first human to ever be gifted immortality.
