Since I can’t ask anything about Sentinel yet, can you tell us about Benjamin’s life pre-Battlecry?

emeralddodge:

Of course! 

• Benjamin’s middle name is Philip.
• He is a graduate of the prestigious Severn School’s class of 2013. He graduated with a 3.8.
• His mother is unsure whether his father is Henry Trent or Henry’s younger brother, Franklin “Frankie” Trent, Jr. Nobody knows of her doubts.
• He took Accutane for a while to clear up some pretty bad acne, and his face bears faint acne scarring.
• Like Jillian, he is 5′11.5 feet tall. 
• He’s dated two women before Jillian: Janet and Felicia. Both were tall brunette athletes. (dude has a type)
• He doesn’t have a favorite food, but rather a food category: sweets of all kinds. The sweeter, the better.
• Pottemore sorted him into Ravenclaw.
• Virtually all Supers are somehow related to people in the camps (who are approaching inbred). Benjamin’s great-grandmother’s maiden name was Fischer; her family left the camps in the late 1930s in protest of how the Jewish Supers were being treated by camp leadership. Reid and Benjamin are first cousins, several times removed. (The story of how they discovered this, Light One Candle, will probably be in the box set.)
