## History

### Campaign

After being caught gambling during work hours, Benny was recruited by his boss, Talia Alvarez, to join the group that would become the party. After the battle with Elementals, Benny came into possession of the letter the group had been tasked to deliver, which was stolen by the Pixie Chicks. He received another letter to deliver to Talia from Sophia Lefthand, which Sephro stole from him, resulting him accidentally giving Talia an eight month old condom receipt.

Before the group's second mission, Benny attempted to steal the drugs that Sephro had received as a gift from the Pixie Chicks in front of the group. He was given a stern talking to by Stix during the party before Emmeline tried to run away. He was involved with the Emmeline's, and was part of the group that talked to Astermidielle. Benny sympathized with Emmeline's desire to escape her unsatisfactory life until she cast Fear on Croc.

After the mission, Benny visited Croc in the Trailer Trash to check up on him, running into Stix on the way. The trio hung out and ate rhubarb pie in Croc's house.

In the interim between the Emmeline mission and the bombing, Benny met a little girl and her grandmother while coming home from work. The girl showed Benny a shrine to Fortuna. He prayed at the shrine, and received a blessing from her, as well as a special coin. He began to develop a habit of praying at the shrine when things went wrong.

### The Bombing

Along with the rest of the party, Benny went to the cafe where the bombing took place to meet with Sophia, and was present for the bombing. After travelling to Maxx's estate, he received a magical ring as a gift. Benny, along with Maxx, Stix and Croc, went to the Trailer Trash to investigate who could have built the bomb. While there, Benny noticed that the earth was corrupted by some sort of shadow magic, very similar to the magic Croc uses.

After discovering that Joey made the bombs in a drug-fueled haze after someone slipped dragon shot into the messaging system, Benny and the rest of the party reconvened at the Jade Palace. Benny spotted Talia at the war meeting and was confused by how comfortable she was with being there.

After the war meeting, Benny went with Bax and Sephro to investigate who gave Joey the drug. Benny sent Iris to investigate the drug dealer's warehouse, but she was caught. On his way down from rescuing Iris, Sephro tripped and alerted Shatterfang, the drug dealer, to the presence of an eavesdropper. Benny and Bax successfully pretended that Bax had caught him eavesdropping and Bax was able to find out who put the drug in Joey's mailbox, but at the end of the meeting with Shatterfang, under the threat of being taken back to Shatterfang's headquarters and most likely killed, Benny attempted to escape. The attempt failed, and Sephro's rescue of him resulted in Shatterfang becoming aware that Bax double-crossed her, causing her to run away.

Benny cast haste on Sephro to help in the ensuing chase, but tripped over the conveyor belt while following him up onto the rooftop. He was the last party member to make it to the rooftop, and entered the scene right as the mind-controlled Bax was landing on the final blow on Sephro. Benny freaked out and almost ran away, but didn't. Despite having the blessing of Fortuna on his side, Benny was unable to do much more than snap Bax out of his mind-controlled state, and Sephro was killed.

### The Aftermath of Sephro's Death

Hungover and broke, Benny woke up the morning of Sephro's funeral in a casino at the edge of the High Rollers with no memory the past few days after having gone on two day dragon spice and alcohol fueled bender. Upon realizing his pockets were empty, Benny stole a wallet from a passed out drunk. Before leaving the casino, Benny was approached a young satyr woman he didn't recognize, who yelled at him for keeping her waiting, slapped him, and threw a cheap wedding ring at him. Benny soon realized that he had transmuted his coin from Fortuna into a wedding ring, but was still confused. When Benny failed to adequately apologize to her, or understand the situation, she stabbed his chin with a knife. Benny left the casino. Oustide, he opened the wallet he had stolen and found that it was empty except for a picture of its previous owner's daughter and a bag of dragon spice.

At Sephro's funeral, Benny placed the ring that had been transmuted from Fortuna's coin on Sephro's memorial statue. Cory noticed that he looked injured, and Benny confessed that he had gotten married but didn't remember it happening. Cory healed him up, but the injury from the knife remained in the form of a scar, as the knife had been enchanted. Before meeting with the Parlors, Benny, as well as Cory, reassured Bax that they didn't blame him for Sephro's death.

Before entering the meeting room, Benny saw Sephro's petrified corpse in the lobby and considered stealing the bag of drugs that were left on Sephro when he died. He resisted the temptation, but just barely, establishing that Benny was struggling with addiction.

The party went to Mr. Mania's Mansion of Mayhem and decided to sign up to fight Victory Mania in the hope of gaining more allies. During the battle, Benny cast haste on Pech, and then was knocked out in two hits by Victory, losing a tooth in the process. After the battle, Benny was healed up. Victory agreed to join the party, and a drunk Talia climbed over the walls into the arena, congratulating Benny on his new marriage. Benny demanded to know what was going on, and, after being forcibly sobered up by Victory, Talia told him and the rest of the party to come to The Last Drop, where she would tell him everything about what he'd being doing during the past few days.

### Juicy Train

Benny passed the glass challenge by casting haste on himself and running very fast. He initially collected Juicy Dolls in the hopes of pawning them off, but decided to abandon them after learning they could be murderous. He and Maxx bonded in the love room and agreed to try and be each other's first real friend.
