Background

Bennett was born on Überia, and was a B-type human. He was designed to live on nutritional soap as a lab rat for testing cosmetics, and was highly depressed due to being used for experimentation. In order to try and escape being a lab rat, he tried to gain Motivation Points to be promoted to a higher rank. This led to him reporting others, even when he knew they wouldn't come back. After getting his promotion, he became a test subject for medicine instead. He was purposefully injected with various diseases and forced to have many different kinds of treatment tested on him, eventually leading him to being 'accidentally' infected with Eye Plague and being scheduled for disposal. Huxley becomes Bennett's owner on the day that Bennett is scheduled to be disposed of, and announces his desire to cure Eye Plague. Bennett calls him a madman. Bennett and Huxley become close as Huxley continues to experiment on Bennett, and Bennett even learns how to read and write. Huxley discovers the cure for Eye Plague and tells Bennett to get in a body bag and declares him dead to the Scientist Society, and had been using Eye Plague as a cover for his research into the difference between overmen and men. After discovering there was no difference between the two, Huxley ran away to the House as the two were a danger to society.

Personality

When he was younger, Bennett was implied to be very depressed as a result of the tests run on him. As a result, he was incredibly motivated to get a promotion away from it, even to the extent of collecting "motivation points" by reporting people, knowing they wouldn't come back. When he had gotten his promotion, his depressing state only worsened and he appears to have given up on trying to escape the constant testing. When he met Huxley, he was blunt and sarcastic, calling the latter a "madman" for his plans and saying he would rather be dead than go with him. Later, in his first meeting with Charlotte, he is callous with her to the point of her describing him as violent, and makes threats like murder casually. Despite his overall lack of empathy, he did apologize to Charlotte for upsetting her by reminding her of her father. While living in the house, Bennett took up an interest in watching television, as it allowed him to understand a story through spoken language, rather than reading, which he was poor at. He enjoyed analyzing the plot and characters of his television shows, and would often ramble to Charlotte about them. In Hello Charlotte, Bennett is significantly less moody and depressed, and is quite cheerful and erratic. He spends his time watching (and having complicated feelings over) soap operas and still has a mischievous nature, as he tells Charlotte about "something interesting" behind a locked door when she asks about it. He seems to be very proficient in science and especially chemistry, as evidenced by his status as one of Huxley's workers and by the books (including the Science Fiction Almanac and advanced chemistry books) on his shelf. his cheery nature shines through from his first greeting to Charlotte. He hasn't dropped his skill of forcing smiles, and tends to make jokes, even in serious situations. Despite this, he's prone to sarcasm and complaining.

.

Despite this, he's prone to sarcasm and complaining[3]. He seems to be socially awkward, and to rely on bringing up his own interests to try and spark conversation[4]. He is jumpy, and will often have extreme reactions to being suddenly approached from behind, ranging from screaming to cutting Charlotte in half based on whether he's currently holding a chainsaw. He's also shown to be forgetful and careless, and to leave acid in strange places. In Delirium, his personality remains cheerful, and he is openly morbid and sadistic when thinking of things to do to Scarlett Eyler. Charlotte's Book of Friends entry on him states, "he excels at cutting bodies in half. he taught me how to gouge out eyes with a spoon".
