Benedict Hughes

Benedict Joseph Hughes has the gift of extreme observation and an over active mind.  While he has savant qualities, he is often an outsider to most and many of his peers consider him strange. He worked for his own investigations company and Section 31 until the terrorist attacks on the USS Kelvin Archives in London, England in 2407.  
==Background Information==
His original given name was Joesph, however when he turned 18, he switched his first and middle to officially become known as Benedict - never liking the shortened nickname "Joe."  Due to his aspbergers, Benedict has trouble really connecting with anyone in his family.  Growing up, he was never able to bond with his younger brother, Alexander, and was often resented. 
Benedict has a strong connection to his half-brother William's half-sister on the other side of the family Marlina Bell and sees her more like a sister.
He has been a heroin addict since 15 years old and will use it to calm his mind.  In September, 2405 he had a staged overdose and was put into rehab.  That same year, he was augmented.
It is unknown what Benedict's position is in current plots and a mirror universe counterpart has never been previously referenced.
==Personal Life==
Lalai Ot (2407) - Meeting Lalai on an undercover mission, he found her Deltan nature curious and explored the world of sexuality with her, losing his virginity to Ot some time after they met.
NOTE: Benedict has not dated and while he is often mistaken as being a homosexual he does have an interest in women.  He often has trouble with social clues and tends to act a lot like a Vulcan when it comes to his sexuality. He mostly has interludes with Deltan's, their pheromones easing his overactive mind.
==Education and Career==
Graduating highschool a year earlier than most kids his age, he was finished in May 2405 and has entered into Oxford University to study forensic sciences.  After his augmentation, he plans on rushing his degree and is expected to graduate in May, 2407, but his education was postponed, prompting him to graduate in 2409. 
Benedict currently works as a private investigator and consultant to the Hedrin-Richardson Presidency.
