Description
Benjamin (Often called Benny or “Bennison” as the Miro crew would mistakenly call him.) is the Translator a board the Miro. Originally, Benny had no intention with staying with the ship, He became a permanent member of the crew after death. His soul now resides inside of a “Spirit Box” created by Doctor Ophilio.

History
None of the crew knew exactly why Benny was in Malaysia when they first encountered him, but what is known is that Benny is a Japanese American originally born in California. He had spent several years within the East, as he had knowledge of many of the languages.

This became use to the Miro Crew, who were not in any way fluent in eastern dialects, and was brought on as a paid translator for the Miro. Though, it didn’t take long for Benny to realize that the Miro got themselves into more trouble than he had hoped to, which on many occasions put him in dangerous situations.

Though he was the most careful of the crew, his luck ran out when he was forced by Captain Ambrose to sabotage a smuggling ring, and ended up getting in the middle of a fight with Clockwork Abominations. Put in a desperate situation, Mordecai used a grenade to cull their numbers, but had completely forgotten about Benny’s close proximity to the horde. Benny was killed by Shrapnel from the blast.

Luckily, Doctor Ophilio being so well versed in Science and the Arcane, trapped Benny’s soul inside of a box. Benny now rests within the piles of books and artifacts on the Miro, having nothing much else to do aside from read when he is not needed by the Miro.

Personality
In life, Benny was cautious. Some would say he was a bit cowardly. He tried to stay out of the affairs of the Miro crew as much as possible, only going so far as to help with translations. In death, he has become loathing and hateful to just about everyone on the Miro, with the exception of Ora Brightmore.

Even in Death, Benny is a private person. He never talked much about his family, or why he visited Asia. For the most part, he prefers to keep to himself and only help out when called upon by the crew.
