Standing at 6'3'' with a strong jawline and a fairly symmetrical face, Benjamin could be considered handsome if he didn't constantly look like he was on death's door. Because of his constant sleep deprivation the lad who is often dressed in casual corporate attire looks more like a deranged scarecrow, which may be fitting given his position in the company.

[b]Personality:[/b] If there's one thing that people will notice about Ben, its his constant nervous energy. Far from the hard-boiled P.Is that populate the building Ben has a habit of rambling, apologizing for his rambling, explain what he thinks is the cause of his rambling before having to be reigned in so he gets to his original point. That being said his dedication to the job allows for people to allow for his 'quirks' as what he finds tends to make up for it. In his own way he could be considered cheerful if you ignore all the self-reprimanding and his sometimes naive ways may come across as endearing, or delectable to the denizens of the night. 

[b]Powers, Traits, and Abilities: [/b]For all intents and purposes, Ben is a wizard, sorcerer, magician, whatever you want to call him, although he prefers the term mage. As such he uses the strange unwritten formulas and sheer will power to bend the universe to his whim -something that he has become dangerously fascinated with- and while he certainly has the raw power and aptitude for the arcane arts, the role that he fills at Priest & Hawthorne Investigations is as a 'data analyst' which is a nice friendly way of saying he does illegal things with technology to get information that can't be retrieved by traditional methods. He is ironically enough, also good at disingenuous magic e.g. card tricks, slipping out of handcuffs and misdirection.

[b]Background: [/b]Benjamin had always been fascinated with magic. Always the small and nervous one, Ben was a walking cliche of a nerd since he first entered grade school, and he would often use the tricks he'd learn from books as a manner of breaking the ice with people he'd meet- or the mechanical skills to get out of a locker he was shoved into, as would happen in his small town of Echo Hills, Massachusetts. And so when he had found a genuine book of magic with his two best friends he seemed to be living the dream at first. As the boy and his two friends grew more powerful and discovered that there was more supernatural occurrences happening in their hometown they went on wacky adventures where they would look into rumors of jackalopes and skunk apes to haunted houses and forests. Things changed however when Ben's best friend and savant of the group went mad with power during their junior year of high school and in the process ended with a magical duel that Ben had barely made it out of alive at the death of his friend. Due to the depression that came with guilt Benjamin's grades slipped and he lost his shot at MIT. Things were not all bad for him, as he was able to get a full ride to NYU where he got into programming, the mathematical aspect of logic being similar to magic in its own way without the passion or art to it, Ben threw himself into it, closing the book on magic. Or at least tried to. Perhaps it was his now built up magical chops, or perhaps its because he spat in reality's face but not long after he moved to The Big Apple, Ben started to run into the supernatural more than ever. While he tried to ignore it, soon he was sucked back into it and even acted as a sort of vigilante living out super-hero power fantasies and ignoring self-growth and his emotions through violence and sabotage of those he thought of as evil. By his last year of college he had pissed off people higher up on the food chain who decided not just to kill him, but set him up with the police, framing him as a rampant serial killer. While he was in an interview room a man appeared and offered him a choice. Go work for him in Seattle, or see how the criminal justice system treats someone who has already had someone close die under mysterious circumstances. The choice was obvious and ever since, Ben has been working for P&I investigations as their online presence and after much deliberation will be heading out into the field on a probationary status to see if he has the reins on his magic.
