Ben 'Tomahawk' Wyatt is a major antagonist in the Morgan's Series. Originally introduced as the secondary antagonist of the Butchers Series, he later appears as one of the three Major antagonists of the Dave and Talia series. He was once a friend and fellow gang member of Dave Johnson, but after causing the fall-out of The Butchers and being mortally wounded by Dave, he dedicates the rest of his life to creating a new gang of Butchers to hunt Dave down.

## Backstory

Ben came from a relatively middle class family, and he was sent to join the Military as soon as he turned 18. However, part-way through his base training, Ben escaped the Camp and eventually found himself with The Butchers, a Gang of orphaned outlaws living in the Wilderness. The gang consisted of Hatchet, Knife, Hammer and the leader, Machete. He joined them, choosing the nickname Tomahawk. Before the events of The Butchers series, Tomahawk and Hammer were sent to Annesburg to steal shipments coming in via train. However, they spotted businessman George Clinton and his wife near the train station, talking. When they left, Hammer and Tomahawk approached the train to rob it when Mrs. Clinton came back, having left her purse, and spotted the two Butchers. Realising they had been caught, Hammer turned to run, leaving Tomahawk alone. Panicking, Tomahawk then slit Mrs. Clinton's throat - breaking a cardinal rule of The Butchers - and escaped on the train as it left. He watched as George returned to find his wife dead, and he called out in anger for a bounty to be put on their heads. The train was later intercepted by Bounty Hunters and Tomahawk was taken to Fort Brennand for a pick-up.

## The Butchers Series

Tomahawk was freed from the fort by Machete and a young man named Dave that had been adopted into the Gang following Hammer's death. When Dave tried introducing himself to Tomahawk, he just laughed at the boy and set off back to camp with the rest of the Gang. A week or so later, Tomahawk was sent with Dave and Knife to Annesburg's fence to do the Gang's shopping. On the way back, Tomahawk asks to have a drink with Dave in the Saloon to get to know him better. Dave agrees and Knife comes with him just in case. The Bartender refuses to serve them and Tomahawk gets aggressive. A man in the Bar tries to get Tomahawk to leave, and he instead turns and kills him with his axe. Everyone else in the bar pulls out guns and begins shooting, but Tomahawk, Dave and Knife flee Van Horn. During their escape, Knife gets shot - but all three manage to escape. They get back to the horses and Tomahawk puts Knife on the back of his horse while Dave rides Knife's horse back to camp. They arrive back at Camp, and Machete demands to know what happened. Hatchet takes Knife aside to help heal his wound. Machete scolds both Dave and Tomahawk before taking Tomahawk aside and telling him that George Clinton is demanding a higher price for them and that he plans to meet with him, but he needs Tomahawk not to cause anymore problems. He agrees, and heads back to his tent to rest.

When Dave and Hatchet return home from a wagon robbery later in the day, Tomahawk is present when Machete explains the plan to meet with George Clinton. They set off the following morning and Tomahawk is at Machete's side as he meets with Clinton. However, during the meeting, the Butchers are ambushed and Hatchet is killed. Tomahawk instinctively kills George Clinton and he and Machete rush to Dave so the three of them can escape. He helps drag Dave away from Annesburg as the boy is distraught over Hatchet's death. The Butchers are then forced to relocate North. 5 years later. The Butchers have made home in the now abandoned Wapiti Indian Reservation. Tomahawk frequently leaves the Camp to intercept passing wagons and commit highway robbery in order to collect money. However, one particular day, he stops a wagon and snaps, killing everybody around - including a pregnant woman, which breaks two of the Butchers rules. He hides out at the scene, and eventually Dave arrives on the scene with Arrow, a new recruit. Tomahawk lunges at Arrow and attacks her with his Tomahawk. Dave immediately kicks him off and pulls a hammer on him. Tomahawk laughs and backs off. He explains that the people in the wagon fought back and he was forced to kill them. Dave reminds him of the rules, and Tomahawk says that as long as he got the valuables, it's fine. He heads back to Wapiti with the Jewellery, leaving Dave and Arrow with the bodies.

Dave arrives back at Wapiti and heads to tell Machete what happened. Machete believes him, and heads outside to confront Tomahawk. Machete scolds him and kicks him from the Butchers for breaking the rules. He threatens to kill Machete when Knife steps up and begins fighting him. The two engage in a brawl but Knife easily overpowers him, sending Tomahawk running with a broken nose. Shortly after, Tomahawk tips the Pinkerton Detective Agency on the Butcher's location in order to have his criminal record wiped. He is later present when Machete heads to Beaver Hollow to meet with Agent Ross, a Pinkerton, and watches as Machete is killed by him. A battle between the Butchers and The Pinkertons ensues, and Tomahawk ambushes Dave as he heads into the Cave. They begin fighting, with Tomahawk determined to kill him. After a lengthy fist fight, in which Tomahawk had the upper hand, Dave manages to pull a knife as Tomahawk is slamming him against the cave wall and begins cutting him. Unable to protect himself properly due to his injuries from Knife, Tomahawk stumbles back and Dave plunges the knife into his abdomen, seemingly killing him. Dave leaves him to Bleed out. Somehow, Tomahawk survives the wound and vows to get dedicate the rest of his life to killing Dave.

## The Dave + Talia Series

in 1906, Tomahawk spots Dave, Talia Morgan and Eddie Warden leaving Annesburg. He later tracks them down to The Loft, where he finds a dying Gill Gibson. He demands information on what happened and Gill tells him that Dave and Talia had come through with their gang to kill Mason Clerk. Tomahawk thanks Gill and shoots into the wall with a close range sawn-off shotgun. He then proceeds to mutilate his corpse with a Tomahawk before leaving the tower.
