Oliver Queen

Oliver Queen (born 1985) is the protagonist of Arrow. He recently returned to Starling City after being stranded on an island for five years, much to the surprise of everyone, as he had been announced officially dead. On the island, Oliver learned to fend for himself, and so upon return became the vigilante known as Arrow.

Shipwreck
While on a boat trip in 2007 with his father, Oliver was shipwrecked on an island for five years, his father having died in the storm that actually shipwrecked him. For five years, Oliver learned to fend for himself and made the best of a bad situation.

Oliver returned home in 2012, and his friends and family greeted him with open arms, happy, albeit surprised, to see him. He discovered that he had been announced legally dead.
