"History"

Fascinated by monsters at a young age and seemingly a prodigy in the field of knowledge, one might say it was destiny for Benny to wind up in a career involving them. In his later teen years, he and his friends, Grant and Gemini, would all become determined to pass the entrance exam for Knight Company Captains’ training academy.

To no surprise, Benny and his friends passed with flying colors—all choosing to go their separate ways of study in official training. Benny’s career in the field would be short lived, however, when, as if overnight, the once passionate Benny flipped from optimism to cynicism. He transferred suddenly into accounting, where he remained for the rest of his days with KCC. Eventually, he would become head accountant, where several “accidents” would lead to his eventual withdrawal from the company entirely.

Currently, he is a yoga instructor, and he operates his classes out of a dedicated room in his home. He refers to his time with KCC as a “mistake,” and claims the only good to come from it was meeting Hugo.

"Personality"

While Benny often comes across as aloof, passionless, and abrasive when meeting new people—those that know him best see otherwise (although this isn't many people). Although difficult to get to know due to his more bizarre tendencies, those who stick around long enough to become a friend of Benny's have earned a friend for life. Guided more by his emotions than his thinking, and perhaps loyal to his dearest friend to a fault, his dedication and sentimentality sometimes leads him to trains of thought he'd rather not acknowledge.

Generally, Benny has little to no interest in other human people right away—and would rather spend time around monsters and unspeakable creatures. This is especially the case in the case of romantic relationships, although he's been open to an exception with a long-time friend (although he'd never be the first to mention this). He has a particular preference for tentacled beasts, but demons and other creatures are also options on the table. The more ancient and terrifying, the better.

His curtness and tendency to be blunt can sometimes be easily misinterpreted as overconfidence---but, in reality, his confidence in himself is incredibly low (he'd be quick you brush you off if you accused him of this, however.) He takes the most pleasure in being "useful," even if that "use" is just exchanging carnal knowledge with a tentacled hell creature.

"Notes"

• Although Benny hates doing math, he once read in tabloids and internet posts that the best way to communicate with aliens would probably be with math. He claims it's partly why he kept his accounting job.
• His favorite yoga pose is the triangle and all of its variants.
• When it comes to tentacle based food dishes, his romantic and sexual fantasies often take over---resulting in him getting flustered.
• He goes almost exclusively by the name "Benny" and introduces himself that way, as well as corrects people who refer to him as anything else. He hates the nickname "Ben" in particular.
• Benny started wearing fake glasses when he started working in order "to look smarter." When he left KCC he mostly ditched the clear lenses for colored ones.
