Kingdom of Origin: Roland
History: Benton was always an avid reader. Blessed with the ability to recall anything he has read just once, Benton used the ability to learn as much as he could on alchemy and medicine and quickly became a pillar of his community as a healer. As the decades marched on and Benton became older his talents were recognized by the crown and he was given the opportunity to serve as the court physician, a position he happily accepted. Having always been a curious person Benton had been making several theories about how to use black magic without killing oneself, but he had to wait until he gained King Daften's favor to test any of these theories. After years of service Benton felt he had finally earned the right to ask about the black magic, on his own birthday no less. King Daften was hesitant at first but Benton assured him that he was aware of the risks and would like to dedicate the rest of his life to understanding the rather lethal magic. Just as Benton was beginning his research King Daften approached him about a rather delicate issue. He had his wife were desperate to have a child but for some reason they could not conceive. This put a lot of strain on the royal family and King Daften wanted to know if he could help. Benton said yes, and before he could explain the risks King Daften ordered that it be done. On that stormy night that the Queen died and Evilin was born King Deften, grief stricken at the lost of his wife ordered that Benton be exiled for his hand her death.
Exiled from his homeland Benton took all of his research and fled to the outskirts of the Oxion to continue his work in peace. As he delved deeper in the dark magic he could feel his body dying from the inside and he knew his old body wasn't going to last much longer. Pinning his very life on one of his theories Benton used his dark magic to take out his own organs and replace them with healthy organs from 'volunteers'. To his amazement the technique worked and he was able to continue living and researching the dark arts.
Magic: Black Magic
Type of magic: Bentons black magic allows him to assimilate flesh and organs of others into himself to counter his constantly rotting state. This may extend his life but it cannot counter the effects of black magic this Benton is in a constant state of extreme sickness that is a typical symptom of black magic use.
