Personality:Ben Jagielski is a product of an unhealthy environment and it shows throughout his personality. As a child, Ben was very close and protective of his ailing mother and incredibly fearful of his emotionally and physically abusive father. He desperately would seek both approval and help from his older brother Brian which he never ever really received. By the time his mother died, Ben had grown into a calloused, alienated and self-destructive young man. Void of empathy and unable to control his emotion, the young man didn’t think twice about killing his father. Additionally, more than likely because of the close relationship he held with his mother, Ben’s romantic relationships are often intense and he possesses a grandiose idea of love. Charismatic with an affable demeanour, he is known for his subtle wit and humour. Laid back and lackadaisical, Ben can often be seen as a consternation for his friends and relatives. However when it is time for him to do work for the family, it is like he switches off all emotion and becomes a man as cold as ice. Incredibly loyal to his blood, for Ben it is family above all.
History:The youngest Jagielski born to Louis and Lillian, Ben was supposed to be the perfect son. However not long after his birth, Lillian was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and was given maybe three or four years. Bravely, she lasted a further eight and Ben stuck by her side for the entirety of it. She cared and looked after him like a real mother should, nurturing him and making sure he was going to grow up a good person. Sadly, Lillian passed away a month shy of Ben’s birthday and left him in the care of his malicious father. Louis had a habit of beating his boys, Brian and Ben, with his leather belt, counting every time he hit them. On a good day it would be maybe five welps, on a bad…it was close and up to a hundred. Brian did his best to protect little Ben from the attacks but in the end, it was to no avail.
Unlike his older brother Brian who let all of his rage out in glorious bursts, Ben took his anger and internalized it to the point where he could barely find it. In fact, most of the emotion that a normal person would feel in the situation Benjamin found himself in was buried so deep inside himself that it became virtually non-existent. Around other people, he was a kind, selfless, funny and charming young man. At home, Ben was cold as ice. Rarely a glimmer of emotion crossed his face and his blue eyes were always dead, no sign of anything inside them. No conscience, no soul. He graduated high school and headed off to college in Carolina, a welcome escape.
Eventually however, Ben returned to Justice and began working at a local hospital, a bit of a change from his families usual place on the docks. That said, his ice cold demeanour allowed Ben to do the things others in his family could not. The worse of which was putting a blade to his father’s throat and dragging it leftwards. Brian may be the brains behind the Jagielski syndicate but it is through Ben’s emotional detachment from the world that they thrive.
