Today is a fantastic day because it is my favorite character’s birthday! On October the 13th in the year 2224, my beloved character Benjamin was born (though I can’t tell you where, because that might be a spoiler). In honor of this momentous occasion, all month long I will answer any questions about this character, though perhaps a little cryptically. It can be anything from ‘What does he look like?’ to ‘Does he die?’ to ‘What is the most important thing he does in the book?’ to ‘Why is he your favorite character?’ I will also accept questions about the book, and who knows, I might drop a spoiler or two.
Allow me to tell you a little about Benjamin…
Name: Benjamin Gold
Age: 24
Occupation: Second class private in the Royalist army
Height: 5’5
Position in the book: Second main character
Anything else you’d like to know? Why don’t you ask?
What does he look like?
He has brown hair, dark green eyes, and a small scar on his chin. He’s short and slim.
What is the scar from?
The detailed answer would be a big spoiler, so I will answer cryptically: an angry and slightly alarmed man was not pleased to see this character suddenly arrive, and so came at him with a knife. He intended to leave a long gash on his face, but only managed to make a small nick on the chin. That’s all I can tell you.
