George Benton

George Benton was a Beowulfan citizen and geneticist.
He and Sebastiana Ramirez y Moyano led a team of Beowulfan scientists to Old Earth after the Final War to battle the hideous consequences of the bioweapons used. They eventually founded Benton-Ramirez family together. ()
Seeing the devastation on Earth convinced Benton that humanity needed a united authority to stabilize and oversee its expansion across the cosmos, and he spent the last decades of his life building the foundation of what would become the Solarian League.
George Benton Tower in the Solarian capital of Chicago was named in his honor, as was the George Benton Center for Interstellar Studies‏‎ in orbit of Beowulf.
He had numerous descendants, some of the more direct of which included Chyang Benton-Ramirez and Honor Harrington. ()
