Brief Description:

Knowledge is the one thing Benjamin craves. It is not women, not power... He doesn't even want money. He wants to gain as much knowledge as possible, and he won't hesitate to do what has to be done in order to gain it. From torturing his own daughter to kidnapping random strangers off the streets, he won't hesitate to go the "extra mile."

When it comes to others, Benjamin is a cruel, cold individual. He will torture a man to death if it means learning something new - and has.

The one thing on his list that comes anywhere close to "gaining knowledge" is snagging his daughter back. Since they are both now Abnormals, Benjamin wants nothing more than to use and test his own powers on her. That, and he blames her (and the other deceased experiments) for being caught by the government.

• Enhanced Intelligence

Weaknesses:
Yates really isn't a super-powered individual; he just has a light taste of power, and all but his intelligence expose what he's truly feeling - especially with that whole reverse-empathy-thing.

Mutations:
None really, though his aura will flicker (due to his telepathy) when he's either feeling a seriously strong emotion, or is reaching out to create a link with someone.

Brief History:

Benjamin was a quiet child. His only interest was knowledge, and there was not a thing he wouldn't do to gain it. It was this drive, this determination, that led him on to an early admittance into college, and then a doctrate at the age of twenty two. But he wasn't done there. 

Abnormals - Lessers, as the media dubbed them - began popping up, and Benjamin was intrigued. He wanted to know what caused regular humans to produce super-powered offspring, and if he could create his own. He had heard, though they were just rumors at the time, of scientists working on changing and altering the DNA sequence of humans, and he wanted in on it. 

He created a lab out in the middle of nowhere, hired a team of specialists. Once he was settled, and offered a huge chunk of government money, he began to work on not just studying Lessers, but creating them as well. His first couple of tries were failures. The babies just couldn't handle the sudden changes - but then Aislynn came. 

The scientist was ecstatic, but he knew he couldn't get his hopes up. Just because his daughter had lived did not mean that the changes would take place as planned. So he raised her, like any father would his only daughter. He and the other scientists and interns taught her basic subjects, then onto more difficult ones when she was ready. Even if she wasn't a Lesser, than Benjamin believed he could have a perfect heir in her. 

Luckily, the changes happened. When Aislynn was about seven, her hair began to change. From the root her golden locks turned silver, and the edges of her pupils began to dissolve - until a perfect cat eye was created. It was then he snatched up his daughter and, after branding her, began to experiment.

But he wasn't satisified there. He was desperate for more knowledge; he wanted to prefect his studies and experiments. So he began to snatch people off the street, even using one of those people as a sort of "breeder" for his children until, eventually, she nearly gutted herself in an effect to avoid carrying any more.

These experiments continued for years, until the government got suspicious. Then, in an effort to avoid losing years of research to prison, he gathered his experiments up - including his own daughter - and began to execute them one by one. However, soon his own experiments began to fight back.

The government leapt in at the last second, before his own experiments could tear him apart. They pointed their guns and called for him to surrender, but instead Ben ran.

That proved to be his undoing, unfortunately. He ended up stumbling through his mechanical and chemical experiments, getting splashed with this and that until - finally - he collapsed.

He had become that which he created, and was tossed into Adanac. He learned that two of his experiments, including Aislynn, survived the raid and are currently living in Adanac.
