Soldier Boy | Ben

Proud, arrogant, and all-American “Alpha” male. He is likely the living embodiment of the word “macho.” Despite his recklessness and his complete disregard for anyone else, Soldier Boy is someone you can count on to get the job unfinished. Drug addict, verbally, mentally and physically abusive, abrasive, violent. Has sexist beliefs due to his womanizing behavior, as he believed that every woman he encountered loved him. Being tortured by the Russians for decades also caused him to suffer from PTSD, which is triggered by Russian music when he hears it. He has turned his anger into vengeance. He experiences intense denial about his own shortcomings, as despite suffering post-traumatic stress, he rejects the accusation of "shellshock," under the belief he is too manly to suffer anything. Despite being a terrible person, Soldier Boy can show honor. He generally takes no sadistic pleasure in killing people and prefers to avoid intentionally hurting innocents and bystanders. He also shows mercy and restraint. Solider Boy also shows a sympathetic and insecure side to him; not only does he actually suffer from PTSD because of his torture in Russia, but as it turns out, his egotism and superiority complex come from the emotional abuse he suffered at the hands of his father. Overall, Solider Boy is less of a monster than he is just an arrogant and immature jerk who suffered significant emotional abuse and neglect from his father that broke him, and his attempt to compensate his insecurities with power only enabled another controlling force, Vought, to groom him into an arrogant fool that allowed fame to go to his head..
