xxxxxWith a rough childhood, often missing father and mother with a drunken abusive boyfriend, as a teenager Benjamin stowed away on a boat, where he was taken pity on by some crew members and worked on the lower decks for food, up until it reached New York City, where he left off. Being found and taken in by the Xavier's School, Benjamin joined the X-Men upon graduation, working with them ever since.

xxxxxThe first part of Benjamin's mutation, other than the physical parts that you'll see, are his fangs and claws. Both are rather strong and can be used in combat. Benjamin's hearing and sense of smell is also improved, much like that of a canine's as well. He is also light on his feet as well, moving rather quick for his size.
And then, there's the main part of his mutation. Under times of great stress and anger, and also random nights, Benjamin transforms into a 'Barghest', a creature of folklore. He becomes a large black dog, larger than a wolf, with red eyes, and mist protruding from him that can be moved around. He's incredibly fast, strong, and durable, and whilst he can understand speech, he cannot communicate and has more beast instincts than he has human ones. Due to his lack of perfect judgement in this form, Benjamin attempts to avoid it, but this can be difficult at times, and he is incapable of transforming himself or detransforming himself at will. The transformation is very painful, as all of his bones shift around to change form, and when the transformation ends, he is worn out and must rest before doing any more large activities.
