Great Ben

Great Ben is a cut throat residing in Redwater. His father was the long time bodyguard of Lady Mylena Blackwater, who was employed by her father Perwyn. Ben took over for his father when the man became old enough where he believed himself a liability in defending the young girl.
== Appearance and Character ==
Ben is a rather ugly young man with a pox marked face and unattractive features throughout. His nose is crooked from one too many beatings, his right ear is scarred and filled with calcified blood and his cheek are unnaturally rosy red. Ben shaves the sides of his head and leaves the top in the shape of an upside down bowl. His is thick of shoulders and already has a belly, but these things do not define his agility and quickness which have been put to the test over the years in any unsavory activities. Ben is unpleasant and is happy to crack wise when he is able to. His words are less than savory and not proper for a lady's ears.
== History ==
Ben's father, Petyr, is a long time resident of Redwater and a long time criminal. He has been jailed by House Redmane a half dozen times, but always he seems to secure his freedom. Ben learned from his father and joined him in his criminal enterprises early in life. Ben was set to be hanged by House Redhawk on one occasion, but a heavy ransom was paid by Petyr to secure his release. 
Petyr had served as Lady Mylena Blacwater's personal guard for some time, but gave up the job due to his age and failing health. He entrusted Great Ben to the task afterward, knowing the boy would be able to secure his fortune through the young woman and her father, Perwyn. 
Ben seems pleased enough with his position and finds it rather easy. The Lady hardly finds herself in need of his services, and when she does, he's happy to lay a beating, or worse, on those that come to close or speak to plain.
