• Biography

  Ben was born into an old, wealthy family in Castlerock, Maine on October 27, 1955. He had a privileged upbringing, but he was still an imaginative curious child. He was always writing stories and dreaming of far off worlds. However, music was also a huge part of his life from an early age. Ben excelled in school, leading him to attend Harvard when he graduated as valedictorian of his High school class.
  
  At Harvard, he met and fell madly in love with a classmate named Alicia. Their romance continued until Ben refused to lower his grades so she could be top of the class. Ben was on a walk that night when Alicia confronted him and shifted into her wolf form, she revealed her true nature then attacked Ben. He lived, albeit scarred. Little did he know, he was now cursed with lycanthropey. He found out during the next full moon when he underwent the agonizing transformation. From then on, Ben kept a low profile. He hated what he'd become.
  
  Five years passed without incident. In that time, Ben wrote a book describing his experiences and had it published as fiction under a pen name and a fake picture. The book was extremely successful, but Ben did his best to maintain a low profile. In early 1990, Ben met the love of his life, Sarah. Three years later, he met fellow wolf Christa during a visit to New york and they became fast friends. In 1998, Sarah had their son Jackson. Ben took to fatherhood like a duck to water.
