Ben Bennington was born in Liberty City, where he decided to move to Los Santos in hopes of finding better work in order to help his family. After moving to Los Santos, Ben Bennington joined the LSFD, where he met his now best-friend Elijah Vance. Both Bennington and Vance decided to join the BCSO, where their careers would blossom. Ben would stay in corrections until he had reached the rank of Captain, until he transferred out to SASP with his good friends, the brothers Jericho & Daniel Salsbury. After enough time, both Jericho and Daniel were both killed in the line of duty, heavily affecting the way Ben sees his line of work. This pushed Ben to transfer back over to BCSO, where he would join the likes of SWAT, in hopes of one day helping lead it.
