Margaux Whitemore || Mother (deceased)
When Oswin was very young, both of his parents died in a plane crash, but he didn't know until many years later when he was inducted into the Crowne. The Whitemores were upper-class, wealthy beyond imagination. Margaux was a former model, but her family was from the old-money side of the world. Oswin's father was new into the folds, creating a business from loans instead of parents' good fortune. Together, their backgrounds merges upon marriage and claim, and it understandably had some people's mouths watering, particularly Oswin's paternal uncle.
When the Whitemore's jet crashed, there was tragedy but also opportunity seen. Oswin would be the sole heir, being the only child and immediate relation to the two, but if the five-year-old had been on the plane with his parents, the accounts would open to the second best.
Oswin's uncle took advantage, sending the child away to an orphanage far removed from the inner circle, away from money, connections, anyone that would possibly recognize the boy, landing him in Lebanon, New Hampshire. In the meantime, the doted on child from the Whitemores was considered lost like his parents.
However, there was one flaw in the plan.
Margaux had specifically talked to a dear friend of hers about Oswin not coming with them on the trip. In spite of the woman's complaint filed to the police, the investigation was closed before it really even started, siting that the dear friend of the late Margaux Whitemore was mistaken from grief. It was enough to make her boil, reaching to a higher power for answers, and in time, this information filtered through the Crowne, where DNA records of the Whitemores matched that of an agent of theirs, increasing his worth to them even more so than his original merits.
Oswin reclaimed his last name--replacing one that the Crowne had assigned for him--and the business that his father created is still with the family and operates under a management team the son hired to run better than he states he could.
