Line 47:
Ben's old unit-mate, [[Max Guevara|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, Father Destry. 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 accidentally crippled him by breaking his leg. Manticore's soldiers were close now, close enough that both X5s 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 told him to tell her about the Good Place, and while Ben was distracted, she snapped his neck.
Madame X would later show off a picture of Ben's dead body taken at the scene of the crime, as a way of taunting Max about her destructive influence on the people around her.
Ben was survived by his identical twin brother [[Alec McDowell]]. Ben never met Alec and never became aware of Alec's existence, but Alec was aware of Ben because his escape and psychosis both resulted in Alec being sent to [[Psy-Ops]]. Alec was given a clean bill of mental health after a period of observation, showing that Ben's insanity was not caused by genetic factors.
