Ben Nels

Ben Nels was a main character at the end of Series I of Blyth, being one of the few survivors of the Bloodletters Arc.

Appearance
Ben generally has a straight-faced look on his face and is often times regarded as uncaring because of it. Though he doesn't manage the upkeep, he doesn't always dress in fine suits thought the vest, pants and jackets are generally from different sets.

Personality
The half-elf rogue is a realist which does come off as a bit cold at times. That isn't to say he isn't laid back or friendly, he is more interested in fun and games than most in the group-- but he is often times one of the first to realize when hope is gone and when it's a good time to lick your wounds and go home.

Backstory
Not much information on Ben before joining up with Bladric and Welty is given. Franz the bartender stated that he never lost once at any form of gambling while he was in Pinet Tremont-- but that is about all that is known.

Series I
In A Town called Pinet Tremont he was adamant going with Welty and Baldric when they left. Though many thought it was bravery that lifted him to this choice, he reveals to Welty later that he figured his odds of survival was better with the traveling detectives than a bunch of civilians Throughout the rest of the Bloodletters arc Ben stuck with Doctor Krunt, who often times found himself agreeing with him that they can't take the infection lightly and need to "take care" of anyone who was bitten.

After the events of the Bloodletters arc Ben stuck with Baldric and Welty as he simply had nowhere else to go. He was noted as being great at fading into the background by Danny, as Danny kept not noticing him. Ben also tended to mock Wilton for being a bit thick in the head.

At the end of Series I Ben's expertise in weaponry led him to become an asset to DeWurt & Krunt Detective Agency. At some point Ben went with Welty to Kith for some time

Series II
Ben spends most of his time in the Baldric's Warehouse working on new types of crossbow ammunition and bickering with Zella the secretary.
