Edward Fyers

"Tell me, Mr. Queen, are you prepared to sacrifice your freedom for her!?"

- Fyers to Oliver, holding Shado at gun point.

Edward Fyers was a mercenary hired by an Amanda Waller to decimate China's economy by shooting down Ferris Air flights in and out of the country, having betrayed Asian commander Yao Fei, who was exiled on the island, take the fall. However, when Oliver Queen was shipwrecked on the island, he, Slade Wilson and Shado foiled his plan and Fyers' was killed by Oliver. It's presumed that Fyers had no idea of the identity of his employer due to her use of a voice changer.

In "Damaged", some time after Oliver was shipwrecked on Lian Yu, Edward's men, captured Oliver and took him to their camp. Oliver was brought in front of him, and Edward showed him a picture of Yao Fei, some time ago, in a military uniform. When questioned, Oliver stated that he'd never seen the man, but Edward could easily tell that he was lying. He asked a second time, but Oliver wouldn't talk, so Edward sent in Billy Wintergreen. Billy proceeded to cut into Oliver, with Edward watching on. When Billy was finished, Edward instructed him to kill Oliver, only to be stopped by Yao Fei.

In "Year's End", Fyers eventually tricks Yao Fei into being captured by his men, while Oliver escapes.
