Physical Description

Image


Nothing about Benton Borteillo screams drug dealer or trouble-maker. His dull brown hair and signature scruff are beginning to show premature grey, and he makes no move to hide it. Shallow wrinkles have begun to bury themselves in his forehead and around his eyes, and he swears the veins in his hands keep showing more and more. The ghost of a poorly-healed broken leg makes a cane a necessary and stylish friend. Benton has a rather average build; he measures up to 5’10” and has only a little visible strength that bolsters his figure.

Despite the early age in his face, Benton’s grey eyes still maintain a mischievous shimmer beneath playful brows. Under his scruff, his smile reveals a single, deep dimple on the left side of his face, with no match on the right to speak of.

Appearance is fairly important to Benton. He keeps his light skin, fingernails, and hair clean and in check. He dresses modestly and tastefully, always draping himself in simple styles and neutral colours. Visibly, he’s an enterprising man who has little fear or shame present in his mannerisms.

Personality



Benton Borteillo is, by name and nature, is a liar. He’s a man of hidden truths, a man who knows what he wants, and a man with great goals but destructive ways to achieve them. He's secretive and careful, and has a strict though questionable moral code that includes killing but never showing unmodest skin in public.

Benton is intelligent and organized. He is a careful planner, and knows how to get tasks done and done well. He works best when he is either alone or undoubtedly in charge. He is quick, confident, competitive, efficient, all of which help to make him a successful man of business.

Despite this, Benton does have some heart. He has a heart that cares for families, a heart that does not want to hurt, a heart that wants to improve lives. That heart, however, is buried beneath a hunger for business.

Benton believes that galdori are more powerful than humans, but he believes that, with education and technology, he can help equalize the unbalanced society, giving humans a chance to succeed. Though he’s not opposed to funding the Resistance, he would like to avoid war. If war comes knocking, he may provide his knowledge and resources so as to allow the humans to not get completely murdered. War, of course, is bad for business.

Backstory

Image


When asked his story, Benton Borteillo will simply tell you that he was born the accidental child of a drunk and a whore and left on an orphanage step by nine the next morning. However good he’s gotten at telling it, the story is certainly far from the truth.

Truly, Benton Godfrey was born the first of two children of Adalynn Godrey and tutor Walter Godfrey in Mers, Bastia. The family, soon including young Deitrick Godfrey, traveled often and were happy. The two young boys were happy to aid their mother in some of her elementary research, happy to learn reading and arithmetic from their father, and happy to bond together in each little corner of the world they traveled to. To the world, the family seemed perfectly happy.

Benton and Deitrick weren't allowed much time to grieve and process their mother's suicide as their father, unfit to be a father any longer, left them in the care of an orphanage. At 13-years-old, Benton gathered his mother's field journals and research-- all he had left of her-- and swore to care for his younger brother.

An orphanage, as the two decided, was no place for two restless boys with cunning minds and goals to achieve. The two escaped into the night after four long years, diving headfirst into the world of adventure their mother's journals had excited them for. The two brothers, under the cleverly chosen surname Borteillo after a great, storybook adventurer, planned to finish their mother's research and make their names known across all Ten Kingdoms as great, wise men with wonders in their eyes and stories on their tongues.

There seemed, to the boys, many conflicting ways to become great. After three years of traveling and researching, Benton was bored and ready for a change of pace and life. At 20 years old, Benton Borteillo, with his 17-year-old brother Deitrick at his side, decided to take the biggest risk of his young life and steal over three concords worth of various illegal narcotics from a group of rugged drug dealers so as to start his own business. Foolishly, the pair of Borteillos were caught and not looked upon with much mercy. In a scuffle, Benton was amazed to find himself escaping, but, afraid to not get another chance, left his little brother behind to fend for himself. Benton escaped with a few of his mother's many journals, the majority of the money the pair had saved, and the overwhelming guilt of having cowardly lost the only family he had left.

Still interested in the business of drugs, Benton delivered to Old Rose Harbor to persevere. He remains centralized in Old Rose Harbor today, but attempts to keep a low profile by using the name "Eon" in business with Silas Hawke lurking around. Benton travels often to increase business and increase safety.


Alter-Egos


EON is a name for business. Eon lives in a different home and habits different streets than Benton. The two men are surrounded by different crowds and carry different weapons (Benton's his heavy cane and a dagger, Eon a flail.) Few know both EON and Benton simultaneously.

Dr. Roderick Godfrey is a seemingly benevolent spirit inhabiting Benton's body, and who has been given the maximum effort of disguise. Roderick is two inches taller by a few parlour tricks, a tall heel, and a thick sole, and has, with a pair of wiry glasses, a clean face save for a moustache whose greys have been hidden, and a darkened hair colour and cleaner hairstyle, lost a significant few years of age. Roderick dresses in gaudy brands Benton would never wear. Unlike Benton, Godfrey walks well without a cane thanks to a few pain relievers and Benton's rigorous faithfulness to the disguise (truly, Benton is in loads of pain). Roderick Godfrey sells tonics, solutions, and all kinds of other medical miracles from his cart, Godfrey's Celebrated Medicines.

Career and Income

Occupation

Since the age of 20, Benton has been working with illegal drugs under the name Eon, whether selling them as “performance-enhancers” to struggling artists and performers or selling them as escapes for desperate people, Benton has thus far been successful. He remains centralized in Old Rose Harbor, though, for safety and distance from a menacing Silas Hawke, he happily travels often. His customers range across Anaxas and all of its races. Slowly, Benton is trying to downsize and remove himself from the business entirely before Mordecai inherits it.

Income: Average

With an average income, Benton is living what a human may consider luxury. He has enough money to get by and then some, though most of his extra money goes into his business or savings. He is quite satisfied with an average income, especially because it keeps the Seventen from harassing him too much.




Housing and Inventory

Housing: Custom/City Dweller


A small and dim apartment of 400 sq. feet with a low bed, two chairs, a table, a chest, and a wood fire stove.

Inventory

-One set of clothing
-One set of toiletries
-One waterskin
-Two set of eating utensils
-Tinderbox
-Flail
-Dagger
-A scraggly, gold Moa named “Pigeon”




Goals


Short term, Benton would like to begin to greatly downsize his business in order to keep anyone from inheriting a terrible beast. He would also like to begin working with other humans in education and technology.

Long term, Benton would like to leave Old Rose Harbor, return home to live in Bastia, and hold a proper funeral for his younger brother.
In hell I'll be in good company.
