Psychological Profile: Unfazed by violence, he is a warrior who fought in the most brutal battles of the war, participated in the many missions during the Continuation War when he was in the Commonwealth's elite top tier special forces group; Alpha Force, yet despite fighting on hell on earth Ben never once broke, he didn't feel remorse for the men & women he killed in battle, in his eyes the HR forces were cockroaches who needed to be squash, yet when he saw the death camps that is the only time were he silently broke down, seeing anthros & humans in such horrible conditions was too much for him. Many of his fellow marines and eye witness accounts say that Ben may get a kick out of killing HR forces as sometimes he can be seen with a slasher smile when fighting, other say he has a pure stone cold look yet in his eyes they see pure hatred against the HR, yet that is when he is fighting his enemies, with his friends especially his two close friends: Judy & Nightshade and his adopted son Adam he is the most gentle giant and that scares people that know him; how can someone be such a brutal & efficient killer yet be the nicest person ever?
