History

Son of the union between the Helicos and Windrin family, Benjamin was destined to greatness, feed with a silver spoon, he was a brave boy, who always wished to prove to the people he was worth his title. As his family was still rolling over the duchy, he was a knight, always volunteering for the most dangerous of missions.   He spent a good couple of years like that, gathering numerous feats of greatness, and was known as the Duch of Blades when he finally accessed the position of leader. Proud of his deed, and hoping it would earn him the respect of the people, he was careless for his security.   His family later concluded, that with the lack of correct potential Union, the 'purity' of the bloodline had to be preserved, and his cousin, Valencia Windrin was destined to be his wife. This loveless marriage was also disliked by the people, and the leader who was used to be careless was now the target of the people.     A few years after their union, Benjamin was kidnapped, a group of rebels torturing him as a punition for his union. But eager for more power, the rebels didn't kill him, and played with him, hoping to get the key to a greater power. This was the rebels' demise, as Benjamin was found and rescued by Patrik Knave and the Garav's Gang. Severely wounded and scared.   After this incident, he grew to hate the people he once loved. He who was once a hero was now limping and muffling insults at the third estate. Yet he did not forgot honor, and gifted his savior with a title of nobility and small lands.
