**Early Life**

Ben grew up in Chicago, Illinois with his father, Alan Walker, his mother Arachne who went by Marianne Walker, and his brother and sister, Louis and Kaya. Ben's father was bitten by a spider and stranded, allergic, and killed when Ben was eight. Arachne remarried Ethan Jefferson, an abusive alcoholic who would beat and rape Ben. Kaya was killed in a car crash orchestrated by Arachne when Ben was almost nine, his sister thirteen. Arachne was pregnant by Ethan, who ran off and left her alone. She miscarried and became an alcoholic and a drug addict, leaving Ben and Louis, who was eleven, to go into foster care. Ben was abused in the foster system because people thought he was gay. His brother was homophobic and stopped talking to Ben once Ben came out. At twelve, Ben went back to his mother and Louis got emancipated as soon as possible. At fourteen, a few months after Louis moved out, Ethan returned and held a gun on Arachne and Ben. Arachne allowed Ethan to attempt to rape Ben when he came home even though, as a goddess, she could have stopped it. She chose not to, leaving Ben to be beaten and almost raped. Ben learned of his powers but Arachne wiped his memory of that after he took Ethan's gun and shot him in the head, killing him to stop him from raping him. Ben came out a few months before his high school graduation, officially, and Louis stopped talking to him. Louis ran a light, killed someone by accident, and was sent to prison where he was beaten to death at only 21. Arachne pretended to be a good mother to Ben. Ben began attending college with a 3.92 GPA, aspiring to be a photographer or an animator.
