Appearance: In his prime, Benjamin was a blond man of average height, but in his late age, he has grown slightly short and his hair has turned gray and thin as well. He has dull gray-green eyes. He is however not looking super-thin or has gotten a large belly on his older days, he has managed to stay quite average in weight. He wears suits and robes suitable for a man of his age and status. He uses his right hand.
History:

• 1795 Benjamin is born as the third child and the second son to his parents.
  1806 A betrothal between Benjamin and Penelope Max is created
  1807 Benjamin is finally going to Hogwarts and is sorted into Hufflepuff
  1814 Benjamin finishes at Hogwarts and is getting a job in the Ministry, department of magical co-operation
  1817 Only three years after finishing Hogwarts, Benjamin is marrying Penelope who has been taken out of school before she has her N.E.W.Ts
  1818 Benjamin gets the joy of becoming a father to a lovely daughter, eventually called Eve
  1820 The family expands with an additional daughter, this time named Lillith
  1822 A stillborn boy is born.
  1824 The third daughter comes into the world. Penelope gets to decide the name and chooses Perpetua
  1825 Benjamin is tired of working for the ministry and applies for a position as a Transfiguration Professor at Hogwarts.
  1827 The last chance of getting an heir to the family prooves to be a pair of twin boys. One of them dies within a few hours of their birth.
  1828 The other twin boy dies a few days into the year, having been ill for a few weeks.
  1829-1838 Life goes on as usual
  1839 Benjamin's first grandchild is born
  1840-1854 Nothing interesting happening, though the family keeps growing with grandchildren.
  1855 When Benjamin turns 60, he decides that it is about time he stop working and he decides to retire.
  1857 Benjamin gets very ill during the winter, and is believed to be counting on his last days, but he survives to the spring and is quickly getting strong again.
  1858 Penelope dies. While it was an arranged marriage, Benjamin has grown used to having her in his life, and he feels very pushed back by her death.
  1860 Benjamin decides not to re-marry, having several grandchildren, he does not see the need for a new wife.
  1863 Once again, the winter is taking a strong hold of Benjamin's health and once again, several people, himself included that death was near, but maybe a small thanks to stubbornness, Benjamin survives once again.
  1865 No less than three great-grandchildren arrives to the world, and Benjamin feels sad that Penelope could not be here to see this, but he is just grateful after already two times of being near death to be there.
  1866 This spring, Benjamin gets a mild poisoning who takes his strength and leaves him on the brink of his life
  1870 Once again, Benjamin finds his life to be very important as he touches an unknown cursed object and once again he survives.
  1871 During a normal subber, he feels a fish-bone sitting in his throat and it made him cough quite strongly and he was slowly losing conscious before suddenly he was regaining his conscious and sighing happily that he had survived once again.
  1873 Another illness almost demands his life.
  1876 This winter seemed to be further long and hard on the older man, who spends almost the entire winter being sick with something, the illness changes a few times over the months. Twice he is sure that he is close to death
  1878 Because of the winter being the one to bring him his ninth almost death, he takes the chance and moves to Hogsmeade.
  1879 During the summer, Benjamin was once again sick - and felt close to death once again.
  1880-Present Three more times during the years has Benjamin been close to death, but he is still living in Hogsmeade, with a small wonder of how many times he can keep surviving a near-death experience.

Personality: While usually a jovial man, there are things in life that can make Benjamin slightly annoyed, if not to say stubborn and at times also angry. He believes in hard work and has as such never given up on his daughters, and while he is very fond of them, he has never liked any of their husbands, which can seem very hard on some, but to him it is very justified.
