Henry Benjamin

Henry Benjamin is a Captain of the marines and Henry Avery's older brother.

Appearance
Benjamin is a relatively tall and imposing man. He possesses significant muscle mass, a sharp jawline, and wrinkles. Many people think he looks older than he actually is. He also has silver hair and dark eyes. He dresses in a darker version of the standard marine officer uniform, with a dark coat draped over his shoulders, a black collared shirt, a navy blue tie and pants, and black boots.

Personality
Benjamin is rather cold, believing wholeheartedly in justice and the power of the marines. This even goes as far as disowning family members who become pirates. Despite his gruff and abrasiveness nature, he displayed true kindness and love as a child.

Powers and Abilities
As a captain, Benjamin has authority over all lower-ranking marines. His is considerably powerful, confident enough to challenge a Super Rookie as powerful as Henry Avery to a one-on-one fight, and tactical enough to lead the operation to reclaim the Sol Arche.

Physical Abilities
Benjamin has considerable strength and speed, capable of mastering several Rokushiki techniques, a martial art available to only super humans. With a quick smack, he was capable of killing a man. His punches are even strong enough to injure Henry Avery, someone who's skin is described as being as hard as iron.

Rokushiki
A majority of Benjamin's power comes from his skill in Rokushiki. While only capable of using four of the six techniques, he has mastered and refined those ones to be able to expertly use them in combat. He is especially skilled in the use of Tekkai, having refined the ability through the usage of Tekkai Kenpo, allowing him to maintain the iron hardness of Tekkai, even while moving. He learned this martial art specifically to counter and injure Avery's on physical durability.

Other than this, he is also capable of using other variations of Rokushiki techniques, namely Rankyaku "Ran". His speed with Soru and Geppo is also rather fast, allowing him to avoid and attack Avery's attacks before he could even react.

Past
A few years after his house burned down, Avery was adopted by Benjamin's family. Despite being surprised by the development at first, Benjamin hugged his new brother.

Everything Comes to a Stop
At some point, Benjamin rose to the rank of marine captain, and was charged with hunting down the Sol Arche to either reclaim it or destroy it, soon tracking it down and attacking the Everything Pirates. When Avery prepared to retaliate, Benjamin managed to intercept the attack made by the Sol Arche. After a brief exchange of words, the two began to battle, with Benjamin being at a notable advantage.

Trivia

 * Like Avery, Benjamin's name is derived from the real life pirate Henry Every, in his case coming from one of Every’s aliases, Benjamin Bridgeman.
