Benjamin Clarke is an American Abstergo White Hat, an ethical hacker searching for network vulnerabilities to improve security, in London. He was Anaya Chodary's replacement.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Benjamin obtained an undergraduate and master's degree in mathematics at MIT in the span of four years. In 2014, he started working for Abstergo.[1]
In October 2016, Benjamin was announced as the replacement for Anaya Chodary only one day after she had gotten her new job posting.[2] The next day, Benjamin and Anaya met for lunch at the Abstergo restaurant Tempest in a Teapot, and she introduced him to his new coworkers, Andrew Davies and Max Dittmar. Andrew told Benjamin about Anaya's nickname, "Ny", which she held in disdain.[1] Anaya, upon seeing her former lover Simon Hathaway, who was waiting around for someone, invited him to join them. After Victoria Bibeau joined them too, Anaya discreetly probed the Canadian for information pertaining to a secret meeting with Abstergo CEO Alan Rikkin; however, Victoria remained tight-lipped.[3]
Personality and traits[edit | edit source]
Benjamin is a chipper and polite person, although deemed nervous by his sweaty handshakes. He is of average height and has straight brown hair. According to Anaya, his American accent is somewhat endearing, and he was noted to being baby-faced. Benjamin is also a punctual person, arriving more than fifteen minutes early to first meet Anaya.[1] Benjamin was also perceived as being overly friendly, using Anaya's nickname immediately after learning it.[3]
Skills[edit | edit source]
Benjamin is prolific in mathematics and computer language. He graduated as Salutatorian from MIT. His knowledge of interpersonal interactions was somewhat lacking, with him not knowing whether it was proper to refer to his coworkers by their first name or not.[1]
