Biography
Owen Blackbourne has had his own team call him 'Mr Blackbourne' for years so as to establish respect and his seniority - he is only 3 years older than the younger boys. Other Academy members call him the same, even Dr Green. He prefers formality.

When Owen was little, he would go with his mother to a lake. It was where he learned to swim. It was a safe place for him, one of the few places his father refused to go with them. So he asked his mother every day if they could go swimming, hoping that if he could keep her there long enough she would see how much better life would be without his father. That she didn't have to live with his pain or his lies. But he never said out loud that was what he wanted for her. He thought doing nice things for her would one day make her see. And as his father's anger finally killed his mother, he's regretted never telling her exactly what he wishedundefined.

He and Sean Green are the youngest members ever to pay off both financial and favor debt, and the youngest Academy graduates everundefined.

Mr Blackbourne plays both piano and violin. As a teacher, Nathan describes Mr Blackbourne as 'strict but fair. Mr Blackbourne says that he can't teach a classroom to play, just one student at a time. He owns a beautiful ebony violin with gold plated tuning pegs, while the fingerboard and chin rest in a lighter shade of grayundefined.

While the team all have memberships to different clubs and elite buildings around the city, Mr Blackbourne's memberships include golf coursesundefined.
