His and River's story is in Season 3 when he becomes a bloodthirsty elder's vessel and had sought refuse in the Oasis, along with his cousin Jeremiah and the family of Jinns.

Ben is turned into a vampire in season two, and that is where his problems begin, he cannot drink animal blood, only human and every time he does, he becomes more dangerous and violent. After killing his ex-girlfriend, The Shade escapes and when he arrives in southern Chile, he meets the hunters and meets Jeremiah who invites him to join him. He soon discovers that Jeremiah is his cousin and that he runs the Oasis.

It's here that he meets River and decides to help her save her sister. They will soon discover that when they arrived at the Oasis, they became part of Jinn Nasiri's family and that he deals with them in order to solve their problem. Thanks to the help of Nuriya and Aisha, Ben learns that the reason he can drink human blood is because when one of the Elders was drinking, Basilius created a bond with him, making him the perfect vessel for the rebirth of his species.

Following the instructions of Hortencia and to avoid the return of The Elders, Ben must die, which he does but before that, he drinks a liquid that Arron gave him, letting his spirit roam freely. In this way, help River escape the hunters. Due to a misunderstood legend, he is trapped by the Fae and taken to the realm of the Ghouls, The Underworld, where he meets the spirit of Lucas and Kailyn who passed away recently. They manage to escape the realm and recover physical bodies thanks to Sherus, however, Ben must fulfill part of his treatment and must kill the oracles. Ben with his family, help save Nuriya and his clan and following the instructions of Hortencia manages to fulfill the deal he made with the Fae.

At the end of season 3, he marries River Giovanni in the Hearthlands and has one children with her; Grace Novak and adopted River's biological son; Field Novak.

In season four, they learn that due to the surgical intervention that the hunters did to River, they had to damage their ovules and for that reason, it was difficult for them to conceive Grace and they discover that due to the experiments performed by the hunters, River has a son named Field, whom Ben adopts.

In season six, Field was taken to Eritopia, he ceased to exist for her family and for that reason River, Ben and his Hawk adopted brothers felt a deep emptiness that they didn't know was causing it, an emptiness that disappeared when they were able to remember him and the others who had been erased from their memory.
