 Until he was of age to be a proper sellsword, he performed other duties in the camp, such as cooking, cleaning, and maintaining garments and gear.

 '''Demeanor:''' Despite Ben's Gyr Abanian upbringing as a boy, his formative years were spent in the company of mercenaries in the Thanalan desert. Due to this, the way he carries himself is usually with a bit of swagger or devil may care attitude. His manner of speech usually crass or relaxed with the accent of common folk, but when he gets serious or waxes philosophy, his speech "cleans up" and he betrays an intelligence most don't expect from the grizzled veteran.
-'''Nature:''' Ben is commonly a sellsword at heart, blaise about death, combat and how one deals with their problems. He comes off as jaded, direct, blunt, and has little patience for "sweet words" or coddling those he views as spoiled brats. Yet around children it's as if he becomes a different person, his grim demeanor softening to become kind and humorous at times. He isn't an evil by any stretch of the imagination, but when he feels vindicated in his actions he doesn't balk at what he feels must be done to protect, or to punish.

 '''Religion:''' Ben's faith is purely lip service, his belief in the Twelve as strong as his belief in fate, not speaking ill of them more out of superstition and pissing off something that might turn the odds against him. He is a firm believer that his power and abilities are the gifts of his own hard work and stubbornness, not a blessing from absent deities.

 '''Scars & Markings:''' His muscular frame is riddled with scars from head to toe. Due to his violent upbringing and a wide assortment of near death experiences, his battered frame sports various reminders of how one can die.
-'''Voice:''' Ben speaks the common tongue with an accent that is a combination of Limsa and Ul'dah, betraying his tendency to rub elbows with common folk. His accent grows melts away to something more refined when he calms down and speaks his heart.

 Benedict is a fair-skinned Hyur male with dark brown hair and a trimmed beard. He's short for a Highlander but that still makes him tower over most of the other races. His body shows evidence of over a decade of combat experience. Muscular with various scars all over his body as well as a missing left eye that he covers with an old leather eyepatch. His frame is large but not large enough to hamper his reflexes. Among strangers he wears a blank expression and often seems to be staring at nothing at all as he gets lost in thought. Friends however make him lighten up and he is quick to crack a joke and flash a toothy grin.

 Ben has a knack for reading other's body language and a tendency to be blunt and straight-forward. While he is capable of metaphor and prose, he doesn't like to beat around the bush or spare people's feelings when it comes to expressing what he thinks. Despite his otherwise intimidating frame, he gives off a warm vibe that makes people feel comfortable around him. However, around a Garlean or someone else he considers an enemy, Ben quickly gives off a dark and angry expression and focuses a heavy killing intent at the offending person.

 Ben is a well-spoken, straightforward type of man. He doesn't mince words, but will be quick to use a metaphor or analogy when the mood strikes him. His direct nature sometimes comes off as blunt and severe. He doesn't think about how other's feel in situations, thinking instead how he would feel in a situation and applying that template to everyone else. Only those who he considers enemies does he focus on thinking of traits outside of his own personality. This tends to push away people he considers friends but also makes him able to easily deceive or destroy his enemies. For those who aren't a threat but are simply annoying, he has no problem cutting them down with harsh language as he enjoys knocking people down a peg or two. He greatly dislikes people who think they're better than him or people he cares about and is quick to prove that those proud individuals are living a delusion.

 A Highlander of Ala Mhigo, and years of constant training and tests on battlefields have left Ben with a very disciplined demeanor as well as made his body capable of reacting to something even if he hasn't consciously realized what has happened yet. Although learned in letters and numbers, he is more a warrior than a scholar. However, he is also a philosopher of sorts and this is one of the few topics he will speak of at length without feeling as if he is wasting his time through inaction. The why is just as fascinating to him as the how.

 Benedict truly comes alive on the battlefield. Unlike his normal demeanor of being relaxed and aloof, he becomes extremely enthusiastic and sometimes borders on gleeful when fighting in a battle. If the circumstances of the battle are grim he manages to maintain some level of decorum, however, once the tide of battle turns in his favor, his gleeful mood springs back to the surface. His specialization is in hand to hand combat, although he uses an Axe in formal skirmishes. He is well-versed in all forms of martial combat, with only an understanding of magic, not any real affinity for its use. He is adept at sneaking around and eavesdropping on others, a skill he puts to use in developing an offensive against his enemies. He is an expert scout and tracker due to this, and uses daggers or his fists when he must dispatch foes without being noticed.

 His greatest strength on the battlefield however lies in Strategy. He knows when to strike and when not to strike, despite how tempting the former may be. As a sellsword, he knows the worth of his skills and only fights if he is hurting for gil or the job serves him in some way. He will do whatever it takes to win a skirmish, as he learned early on as a soldier that the main focus of combat is to kill the bastard trying to kill you first.

 Ben's primary occupation is as a mercenary. He doesn't mix words about this and is very open about it, especially around a potential customer. However, he is versed in skills beyond killing people. He is adept at most craftsman trades, and he is a competent fisherman, often doing so to wind down when he doesn't have a job to do. He is fond of being dependent upon only himself, so whatever he can make for himself instead of relying on someone else to get it for him, he does.
