Ben Scallon

Ben Scallon is a character in QIA.
== Biography ==
Ben Scallon is the Warden for the London Hub; his job involves overseeing the incarceration of all convicted criminals arrested by the London Field Team. He is also, therefore, an expert on the Void.
=== Jacob Dorody ===
In January 2020, a little over a month since the incarceration of Jacob Dorody, Scallon was required to give the London Field Team access to the prisoner within the Void, and then later he was ordered to temporarily release Dorody so that he could assist in the New Philadelphia 2263 mission. Although he did so grudgingly, Scallon complied with these orders ("Dorody"). After the failure of the mission led to Dorody's subsequent escape, Scallon was furious ("Tom").
=== Jack Harringer ===
In April 2020, after Jack Harringer was sentenced to the Void, Harringer made a deal with Scallon; he paid the warden an undisclosed sum of money in return for access to Robert Tunneson and special privileges (for example, the use of a baseball bat). ("Rome") 
Shortly after, he was held at gunpoint by Sarah Cunnington and forced to release Jack under duress. While at first he refused, he reluctantly carried out her request after she shot him in the arm, though he made her enter the final command and warned her of the severe circumstances. As soon as she and Jack had left, he angrily informed Hall. ("Unnatural", "Witchfinder")
Scallon was later called as a witness for the prosecution in Sarah's trial, though his testimony was mostly discredited by Enora Gallou ("Justice"). Following her conviction, Scallon transported her to the Void Facility. However, just moments before he was about to finalise her entry into the Void, Scallon received the news that Sarah had been pardoned by Erik Draper, and had to release her. ("Hall")
Shortly after Jack returned to the Void facility to murder Robert Tunneson, Scallon began making preparations to relocate the facility - and all its prisoners - from Gloucestershire. In September 2020, against his advice, Draper requested the release of prisoner Adam Solomon from the secondary Void facility in Bedfordshire as Adam was to be taken to Geneva for research purposes. Scallon insisted on accompanying the small escort convoy, and was there when the convoy was ambushed by Hall, who was there to trade Adam's captive daughter Magdalena for Adam himself. After Draper authorised this, to save further loss of life, Scallon was (as usual) furious. ("Magdalena")
In September 2020, Scallon agreed to create a special case for Lewis Cole, placing him in an alternate version of the Void in which he could live out eternity with his dead wife and son ("Redemption").
After Erik came up with a plan to hide Sarah in the Void to escape Brent Hall's relentless pursuit of her throughout time and space using the same process as they had for Cole, Scallon saw an opportunity for revenge against her; while the plan was to link her mind with Ethan Taylor's (who had also volunteered to join her to preserve her sanity), Scallon instead created two separate experiences for the two agents; Ethan was placed into an idyllic fantasy world where he would spend eternity with a fictional version of Miranda Davenport, while Sarah was linked with sadistic doctor Philip Walker, who proceeded to torture her for the eternity in which she spent within the Void. However, Scallon ensured his own deniability by making Sadie Docherty complicit in the plan; she was the one who actually initiated the program. ("Death", "Resurrection")
At some point over the next two years, Scallon fired Sadie for 'creative differences'. ("Resurrection")
In November 2022, after Hall was arrested, Scallon was called upon to release Sarah and Ethan from the Void. When they returned to the real world, both were suffering from the severe aftereffects of his program, though he was able to deflect any blame from himself. ("Resurrection")
