Ben Brown

Ben Brown was a protector of animals; he lived in the wilderness of the Whispy Woods with only beasts to accompany him. He treated these animals like a family, for whom he provided a refuge from the painful world of men.

Ben rides a brown bear, and is always accompanied by an elk, three wolves, and a falcon.

Physical Appearance and Personality
Ben was a broad, muscular man clad in a simple brown tunic, with brown eyes, a brown beard, and thick brown hair all over his body. He wore a golden disk, in the shape of the sun, on a chain around his neck. Although fierce to his enemies, once convinced of the others' goodwill, he was welcoming, generous and helpful. He did not eat any meat, as he could talk with his animals, who helped him. Thus, his diet was mainly nuts and fruit. Ben lived deep within the forest, in an ill-shaped hut of low, rough stone roofed with sod, which squatted amidst tangled tree trunks and obnoxiously tall weeds.
