Biography[]
Ben's cell is responsible for transporting and detonating nuclear bombs to archive sites around the world. He also oversees the recapture and torture of the Archivist Karina who previously escaped from the Faction after their kidnapping of Historians.
Dawn introduces Jeff Conniker to Ben after his loyalty test killing the purported spy Tristen. Ben refuses to shake his hand, and assumes he's still on probation as a police officer. Jeff assures him he will be reinstated. However, it doesn't matter much as Ben agrees with Dawn that Jeff will be more useful to the Faction. He assigns Jeff to guard Karina while he and Dawn attend to other matters elsewhere. He explains her Traveler role and resistance to standard interrogation methods because of her nanites. However, he's confident that Karina will break eventually. Jeff asks if he doesn't have to torture her, and Ben replies he's free to do so, additionally commenting "happy hunting."
