At some point around 2019, Ben, for reasons his sibs never understood, lost his mind and began killing people in various major cities across the United States. Eventually, he made his way to Seattle, where he claimed two more victims. His M.O. was always the same: he captured his intended targets, those he believed "worthy", armed them, and proceeded to release them into a forest, where he hunted them down |
At some point around 2019, Ben, for reasons his sibs never understood, lost his mind and began killing people in various major cities across the United States. Eventually, he made his way to Seattle, where he claimed two more victims. His M.O. was always the same: he captured his intended targets, those he believed "worthy", armed them, and proceeded to release them into a forest, where he hunted them down and killed them by breaking their necks. He would then pull out their teeth, as he had done back at Manticore, and left the body to be found. |

Ben's old unit-mate, [[Max Guevara/X5-452|Max]], who was living in Seattle at the time, learned of his killings through [[Eyes Only]], and tracked him down. Unwilling to turn him in to the police, for fear of exposure, she tried to convince him to stop, but to no avail. Ben escaped her and went after another victim. By this time, Lydecker had followed Ben to Seattle, and was also beginning to close in on him. Max followed Ben into the forest, and intervened just before he could kill his target. She then fought him, giving his victim time to escape, and eventually crippled him by breaking his leg. Manticore's soldiers were close now, close enough that both X5's would have been caught if Max tried to carry Ben to safety. Unable to escape, and unwilling to be taken back, he begged Max to kill him. Sadly, knowing that returning to Manticore would be worse than death, she obliged. |
