Sir Oliver is a character who appears in the Disney Junior animated series, Sofia the First.

Background[]

Personality[]

Sir Oliver is best described as a self-righteous, muscle-headed, egotistical, rude and narcissistic ninny who only cares about himself. He's shown to be a bit of a bully who tries to get his way with threats. He has the ambition of becoming the leader of Brazendell's knights and is willing to do anything to achieve that goal no matter how dirty or treacherous. Though brave, his bravery is the kind sired by arrogance and which makes one foolhardy. Despite his huge, unbearable ego or perhaps even because of it, he doesn't seem very bright. He also shows a habit of stealing credit and a willingness to put people in danger to accomplish his goals. 

Role in the Series[]

Sir Oliver makes his debut in the episode, "The Tale of the Noble Knight" as the main antagonist. Though the humans and Dragons of Brazendell have a strong friendship with each other, Oliver, however, has a dislike of dragons, since he sees them as nothing but a menace. He proceeded to disrupt the harmony between the humans and dragons by goading and even threatening the dragons, which caused them to burn everything in their path out of self-defense. Now seeing the dragons as a threat, the King of Brazendell made a promise to his people that the one who could deal with the dragons will be given the title of First Knight, the leader of all knights. Sir Oliver, who is known as the strongest knight in Brazendell, and having a hunger for glory, volunteered. The King sends him on a quest to retrieve the Ice Fire Shield, a magical shield that can freeze dragon fire. With this knowledge, Sir Oliver secretly plots to use the Ice Fire Shield in forcefully driving the dragons away from Brazendell and make himself look like a "big" hero to his kingdom.

He first appears when Princess Sofia and Minimus arrive in Brazendell to help him. Sir Oliver quickly shows her his true colors as the narcissist he is and earns her annoyance when he laughs at her when she tells him she's in Brazendell to help him. Sofia quickly proves her worth by helping him out of a trap his rival, Sir Jaxon, had set. When Jaxon appears, they fight a duel that Oliver wins by tricking him into a truce, which caused Jaxon to lower his guard, allowing Oliver to take his rival by surprise and lock him up. This caused both Jaxon and Sofia to agree that it is a dirty trick. Oliver shrugs their protests off and searches for the Ice Fire Shield until he gets distracted by his reflection in a mirror which he admires to the point where Sofia goes off to find the shield herself muttering "Oh boy."

She finds a clue that leads to the Shield: Directions that lead to the Big Golden Stone. When Oliver doesn't understand on what it meant, Sir Jaxon proceeded to tease him, which provokes Sir Oliver into wanting to attack him, but was stopped by Sofia. When they arrive and she points this out, Oliver takes the credit for it by stating "You're welcome for pointing it out for you." When Sofia find the clue to the Shield's location, he again takes the credit for it, claiming he himself had found it, earning him the dislike of Minimus. When Sofia discovers the exact location of the Ice Fire Shield, Sir Oliver immediately goes off to retrieve it, however, before he could, he immediately noticed Sir Jaxon, who had managed to free himself. In an attempt to stop him, Oliver opens the gates of a dam, causing a flood in the process.

He goes to get the Ice Fire Shield while Sofia saves Jaxon, who, along with one of the dragons, Willawing, reveals that Sir Oliver is the one who caused the fires in the first place before revealing his secret plot. Together, Sofia, Jaxon, and the dragons reached a shield-shaped cave, where Sir Oliver emerges with the Ice Fire Shield. Through teamwork, Sofia and Jaxon were able to stop Oliver, with Sofia snatching the Ice and Fire shield from him. When the King of Brazendell arrives, Sofia and Sir Jaxon reveal Sir Oliver's deception. Oliver then made the mistake of adding in by saying "to become First Knight", thus exposing the reason behind his crimes. Enraged by this, the King of Brazendell proceeded to name Sir Jaxon First Knight before sending Sir Oliver into exile. Throwing a hissy fit, Oliver leaves with Basil but not before giving out a warning that they hadn't heard the last of him.

He makes a return in "The Royal Dragon" again as the main antagonist. He had snuck back into Brazendell so he can exact his revenge on the Dragons for his banishment. He first appears near the annual Dragon Roast N Toast, where he had set up camp, so he can get his revenge by ruining it. He first tries to sabotage the event by dousing the bonfire with water balloons. This fails because the trigger on his crossbow gets stuck in a way that fires the balloons in the air and splash on him. He then tries again by setting ants on the dragons. This fails when the ants go after the sugar cubes he gives to his horse Basil instead. Finally, Sir Oliver decides to trap the dragons in fire-proof nets. However, he was unaware that Crackle, who saw him from a hiding place, had heard everything. When she tries to warn the other dragons they didn't believe her, since she had earlier been telling lies to them. Consequently, they remain completely unaware of Sir Oliver until he reveals himself. He successful executed his plan and most of all the dragons were trapped while Crackle and Sizzle escaped. Together with Sofia, they free the dragons and drive off Sir Oliver. He vows to return once more, but he is never seen or heard from again for the remainder of the series.

Trivia[]

  • His coat of arms is a fox, which represents and hints his sly and deceptive side.
  • He is very similar to Gaston.
  • Sir Oliver might be illiterate, as he asked Sofia what the writing on the Golden Rock said.
  • Sir Oliver is the third character on the show to be banished from a kingdom, the first being Mamanu, who was banished from Hakalo and the second was Princess Ivy who was banished from her Kingdom.
  • Sir Oliver shares the same annoying laugh as another character also voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, Dark Laser from The Fairly OddParents.
