History[]

Post-Great War[]

In the years after the Great War, Oskar travelled around Skree salvaging any books he could find, which he brought back to his bookstore Books and Crannies in Glipwood Township. He also helped Gammon Felda smuggle weapons to Anklejelly Manor for the rebellion against the Fangs.

Wingfeather War[]

During the Wingfeather War, Oskar traveled with the Wingfeathers from Glipwood to Dugtown, and from there to the Ice Prairies and then the town of Ban Rona in the Green Hollows. While in Ban Rona, Oskar and Bonifer Squoon translated The First Book which Esben Wingfeather had given to his son Janner Wingfeather.

Post-Wingfeather War[]

After the Wingfeather War, Oskar became the head librarian of the Great Library in Ban Rona. He traveled to Yorsha Doon, where he traded the only known copy of Feasting in the Woes with the first edition of Tales of the Battles of the Wars of the Woes of Shreve of Dang of Aerwiar, autographed by Prince Majah. While in Yorsha Doon, Oskar also wrote the tale of Safiki's parents, as told by Safiki's Mamada.

Appearance[]

Oskar is a round man with a short white beard. He is completely bald except for a few small wisps of hair that he tries to comb over his head to hide his baldness. He is often described as jiggly. Since his voyage on the Enramere, he has had a tattoo that says "I Like Books."

Personality & Traits[]

Oskar loves books, and is known for his tendency to quote obscure authors. He also knows a little bit of Old Hollish.

Trivia[]

  • Oskar is loosely based on Andrew Peterson's father, whose middle name was "Oscar."[1]
  • When Oskar's middle name and last name, Noss Reteep, are spelled backwards, it roughly spells Peterson.
