Benjamin is overall a very sneaky, manipulative, and cold-blooded young boy. Throughout his life he's been taught to live roughly and independently - never having any money to enjoy a single luxury. The curiosity he had as a child prompted him into wandering the streets and observing those more fortune than himself. He observed people abusing the things they were blessed with and he could only wish for, and not appreciating values like food and water that he often went without. So already from such a young age he started to hate the privileged and the rich, but held in all of these resentful feelings because of his overly optimistic father, whom he saw as his role model. However, they've only built up over the years, and after the death of his father, amplified to dangerous levels.

Now, although he hides it behind his aloof attitude, Benjamin is filled with vile hatred and horrible intent. His head is constantly swimming with terribly painful plot ideas to anybody he dislikes, but his extreme self-control lets the boy put on a blank face and bid his time for the proper moment. He's forced himself into numbness time and time again, and is unaware himself of how dangerous his volatile thoughts really are.

Having to live his life as a prostitute as well as in the poor sects of London, Benjamin has transformed into a type of sexual deviant. His quiet, undetectable nature leads him into spying on people (of both genders) quite often, and coming off as pretty dangerous. In a way he enjoys this stigma, finding it easier when people are afraid of him and leave him alone. At twenty-one, he's become so used to being alone and being completely apathetic, he doesn't want to try becoming emotionally invested in anything, predicting it will only lead to failure. Overall, he's extremely confident in his own abilities and with what he does, but has an insecurity (though he'd never call it that) when it comes to anything beyond that.

Even with his clients, Benjamin refuses to act anything than he really is. Of course they are only hiring him for sexual favors, but he never dresses up in any outfits of their choosing, nor does he act any different than he normally would. He remains the sly, sultry character that he is, and seduces in the way that he wants to. Despite the limited number of clients he gets from this, Benjamin prefers to keep some sort of pride even if it means he won't get as much money.

Benjamin Harvey Rutt was born into a poverty-stricken in home with his parents Catherine and Henry. Prior to their marriage, Catherine was attacked by the commonly insane human turned vampire, and was transformed herself. Though left with some psychological damages, she showed little insanity herself, and began to distance herself from her human family as she became strictly invested with other vampires of her social status. She met Henry while the man was working 12 hour night shifts at a factory, and after a few more meetings during the night, the two fell in love. They were quite the underdogs already, both practically unable to go out during the day while living in poverty, but decided to continue their love affair anyway.

When Catherine became pregnant, she often holed herself up in the house and became more and more psychologically impaired. The birth of Benjamin sent her over the edge, especially when she stressed and fretted over their lack of food and proper care for her son. As he began growing up she did everything to shelter and restrict him, but Benji rebelled as young boys often do. This put Catherine into a depressive funk, and her behavior changed for the worse daily. Benjamin's only source of happiness was his father, who, despite his grueling, dangerous job, was a wonderful and lovable father when he had the time.

When Benjamin was only 14 years old, his mother died by lack of feeding on human blood. She had been growing weaker and weaker, but did not leave the house even nightly to regain strength. As much as Henry tried to encourage and help his wife, she had gone completely insane, and would refuse any sort of aid he was offering to her. After her death, Benjamin was left along for days on end as his father worked, feeding only on what Henry would give him, and never killing himself.

However, considering the unsafe conditions of the factories, and the lack of nutrients available to vampires during the day, Henry passed away only 2 years after his wife had. No payment or care was given to Benji, and the boy was basically thrown out on the streets. This was when his hatred for royalty, and anybody rich flew up to an ultimate high. He began feeding mercilessly on anybody he could find, and was certainly not gentle about it. For a couple of years he lived as a lone rascal in the shadows of the night. He hid in dark, unsafe places to rest for a few hours during the day, then awoke at night to feed and at times steal for himself.

When he turned 18, Benjamin came in contact with a small group of humans, some gifted, some physically or emotionally impaired, who walked the streets selling their bodies for money. Recruiting himself, Benjamin hid the fact that he was a vampire as best as he could, and joined their game that started to earn him more money than he made as a thief. Happy that he no longer had to put what he thought was his honor at stake, Benji began working at night when it was convenient for both himself and his clients, and found this lifestyle much more comforting and even easier. But unfortunately, his feeding routines were thrown off by the new job, and as he continued in this profession, he received more disdain and mistreatment from clients. This opted him into a new solution: to feed on his clients, either before or after the job was complete.

Breaking from the original band that had introduced him to this job, Benjamin began working on his own, now with this unsavory twist on things. He knew it'd be unlikely that he was caught, for as he fed and sometimes murdered these people, they would rarely go to law enforcement knowing the consequences of having to admit what they were doing to get into this sort of situation.

As time went on, this routine turned Benji more and more cold-blooded, until he barely felt bad for what he is doing. He has been doing these unspeakable acts for so long that he never really plans on quitting.
