Benedict Cox

Benedict “Ben” Cox was an engineer for a pirate fleet which operated both sea-going galleons as well as airships. He mostly stayed clear of the “dirty work” of piracy, but upon witnessing the destruction the fleet caused he resolved to leave behind all dealings with them. Now Ben lives with his adopted daughter, Cate Wallace, in the country of Sigmundr. Sigmundr has colonized the nation of Bahira across the great ocean. Ben’s attitude towards Bahira remains ambivalent; he used to organize the pillaging of Sigmunden and Bahiric ships alike when he worked for the pirates. Ben now works as a clockmaker and keeps a low profile. He lives in fear that the pirates will find him one day. Ben lives by the philosophy that cynicism is easy, but it takes strength of character to see beauty in a troubled world.
