== Personality ==

Benjamin Lascelles was a man with a multifaceted personality to present in the faces of all of those who met him. When Benjamin Lascelles first came to Kara, he came as an angry peasant, coming from a land where being common was tantamount to being worthless, who felt he had something to prove. It was there, in this anger and distrust, that formed the first facet that people came to identify themselves with. At a young age, Benjamin learned that if he just kept talking, people would listen, and he could spend any tale he needed to spin to rise above other people. If he simply acted as if he was strong, powerful, violent beyond any measure, then a handful of people just might believe it. Benjamin was egotistical and arrogant, but he was also meticulous and conniving, making sure that any enemies he had were the enemies he wanted. But to have enemies, you must also find yourself with friends.

This leads into the second facet of personality that less people certainly saw. A relatively goofy man who did things for the hell of it, especially if it was funny. After years of doing the wrong thing, he put himself in other's shoes and decided he didn't like how the fabric felt. But the same type of talking he did to get people to do what he wanted, worked just as well on his allies if he just made them laugh. It worked well on people he could care for. Through relationships he got to make with his future daughter, with his friends, and later with the King, he got to learn what he was missing his entire life. Many who knew Benjamin would say that he was a crazy son of a bitch who couldn't care less on what he did. That would be wrong on about 50%. Benjamin Lascelles was a man who cared so much about every little thing he did. He believed that if people thought he was a villain, or going to be the one to fear, then people would prepare themselves to fight someone like him or more.
