Benjamin was born to Lukas, a guardsman in the Sutican guardforce, and Alyss, a housewife. One day, his parents had to leave the city momentarily- they told Luka no reason, although he presumes it to be a trip to the countryside. He awaited their return as he took care of himself in his shack- but there would be no return. A group of elven bandits, who had frequently been marauding the countryside had gotten to his parents. This event would be detrimental to Luka, leaving him in pain and sorrow. He continuned to prowl the city, barely making change to pay his taxes and purchase his bread. Eventually, he began work in a Sutican tavern, and recieved meagre- but steady- wages. A terrible incident happened at the tavern when a Goblin ran into the tavern and started smashing bottles and turning tables. Many people were panicking because the Goblin was proving to be quite the challenge- he was able to use his smaller size to his advantage, dodging and weaving between blows. So Benjamen attempted to take down the Goblin but in the process he was horribly wounded- the Goblin was able to force a blade into his torso. Although the physical wounds may have healed, the mental scars remained.
