Benedict

**Benedict** is one of the main characters of The Eggs. He is considered the leader of the egg quartet. Benedict is an intelligent and smug Kazoolian male egg whose job is to perform maintenance on the sentient ship Shelly. He is often seen working in his laboratory with his trustworthy robot assistant Eggor.

## Appearance

Benedict is a tall, yellow egg with green eyes, a blue pompadour and light blue visor shades. He wears a blue and yellow spacesuit with dark blue shoulder pads. His blue spacesuit has a yellow stripe going down the middle along with two short stripes on the suit legs. The front of the suit also includes his round and blue instrument brooch and an unknown yellow device with a supposed screen and a few buttons.

## Personality

Benedict is a geeky, calm, clever and somewhat conceited fellow with a wide and vast knowledge of different sciences. It is not uncommon that he will often brag about his science smarts to the other eggs, much to their displeasure. Sometimes he also may come off as judgmental, as seen in series 1 with how he treated one of his teammates, Yolky, unfairly because of her height and age, often criticizing her for being younger and weaker than the other eggs. Though later in other series, he is much less judgmental of others after Yolky proves herself to Benedict. Benedict is usually the one able to calmly organize a plan for most rough situations the crew would find themselves stuck in.

## Relationships

### Yolky

In series 1, Benedict often treated Yolky with disrespect due to her short height and age. He would occasionally make jokes about her height and disallowed her to make any adjustments to Min as he believed she wasn't old enough to do so. After Yolky proved she was more than her smallness, Benedict apologized and in later series was much more polite towards her and even let her work alongside fixing Min.

### Scramble

Since Scramble is a very passive-aggressive egg and is incredibly arrogant, Benedict likely finds it difficult to get along with Scramble. Scramble will often bad-mouth Ben much like he will bad-mouth the other eggs, but Benedict usually brushes it off and ignores him. When Scramble isn't being rude towards him, he regularly gets along quite well with Benedict.

### Sunnyside

Sunnyside seems to be the character that Benedict has the strongest bond with besides Eggor. They get along extremely well and work together often as seen in multiple episodes, one great example of this is in the episode "The Dangerous Driver" where they work together in cleaning up litter dropped off by another planet. Some fans may speculate that Benedict and Sunnyside are interested in each other.

### Eggor

Though Eggor is a robot incapable of true emotion, Eggor loves his creator dearly and goes along with Ben's orders.

## Trivia
