DESCRIPTION:
6'2'', short brown hair and bright blue eyes. He has a scar over his left forearm where he was burned as a child, but he doesn't like to speak of it. Often times, Ben can be found wearing three piece suits, very expensive, and is considered very stylish and classy. He is of an athletic build, a Quidditch player in school and in the offtime during his days in the "regular world" he can be seen in the gym working on his strength, stamina and endurance on the punching bag. Other notable marks are the Lion of Firenze, Italia on his right shoulder and the Celtic Cross on his Left calf. Ben proudly supports his sister's boutique by wearing his family's designer clothing line, "Di Amico".
PLAY-BY: Chris Evans
PATRONUS: Eagle
BOGGART: Drowning. As he doesn't mind swimming, he has a fear of large bodies of water, and being submerged for a very long time.
MIRROR OF ERISED: Secretly, Ben would like to find his father.
HABITS: He's not a heavy drinker, but he tends to frequent bars, especially to wind down from work. Ben can also tap when he's growing impatient, a pencil, his foot, his fingers.
PET PEEVE: Liars. He is a pretty good judge of character, no matter what sort of details of ones past he may have heard. Those who cannot keep their stories straight and hide things from him, or straight-up lie are considered to be horrible people in his book.
STRENGTHS:
• Observation. A psychiatrist, trained in the art of observation, Ben can easily analyze someone by their mannerisms. This has been a key skill that has made him into a true asset to the Guard and any other regime-related officer.
• His memory is very good, he tends to notice a lot of detail and can recall it well.
• Athletic Build - He is physically strong and very agile.• Flying. He loves to fly, a hobby that may have greatly inspired his Patronus.
• Secrets are well kept with Ben, something he had to learn early on, especially in his line of work.
WEAKNESSES:
• Over-analysis and extensive talking brings out his intelligence, a trait he likes to shove in peoples' faces to intimidate them by his mere presence. This tends to tick some people off, so he doesn't have as many friends as he would like.
• A vice he hides from most is smoking cigarettes.
• He favors his left knee, from an injury sustained when he was a child that he rarely mentions.
• Large bodies of water (Lakes, Rushing rivers, etc) tend to frighten him.
TRAITS:
Benjamin has two very important women in his life, women he treasures deeply. As his father left them at a very young age, this made him extremely protective over his mother and sister. This caused him to mature quickly, and it may take some people a little longer than normal to get used to this characteristic. He is very witty, loves to frequent bars to get his mind off of a lot of the "confessional" type sessions he has with his clients. Ben is open to talk to pretty much anyone, but when it comes to opening up, it becomes rather difficult. Some call him a hypocrite for being a closed book, but he looks at it as a respect to his own privacy. Though, if one is trusted enough, Ben may actually open up...however, rare.
He is proud, and it's carried in the way he walks; a confident strut, something he uses to charm the ladies (though some men may find his looks rather striking, as they have in the past.) Ben is opinionated, but it's mostly when people ask his advice that he gets very chatty. "Do not ask if you do not wish to hear," is something he says regularly. Simply put, Ben can be categorized as persistent, easy-going and well-mannered. He is very polite and can be considered chivalrous, and keeps the family and few friends he has very close.

HISTORY:
On a hot, Ventian summer, the first child, a son, was born to Lucrezia and Thornton Reynolds. His mother was a housewife, an aspiring entrepreneur
with her clothing line and his father was part of the Ministry, working as a very high position in the ranks of the Aurors. At least, that's all he knows about his father. Young Rupert (henceforth choosing to go by the name Benjamin for obvious reasons) had lost his father when he was age 5. Friends of his mother say he left without word, fled during the night. This tore the family apart. They were financially stable, left with enough to get he and his younger sister Claudia through school at Hogwarts and when the school and most of their magical realm fell to the hands of the Regime he left the wizarding world behind him, going to school in London at one of the most prestigious institutes for his field. He wanted to go into psychiatry, intrigued by the interworkings of the human mind, wanting to answer the question he wanted to answer for so long: "why?" Why did his father leave them?
They lived a pretty standard life, although his mother was a single parent, struggling to attend family functions when it applied. He and his sister were not as troublesome as most kids would be, and it was at the school that he learned that flying was his favorite thing to do. He became a quidditch player in his third year, a star athelete and quite the playboy. Benjamin had much attention from his peers but he didn't enjoy it as much as they said he should've. He had a one track mind, get through school and find his father. It wasn't long after school ended that he took off keeping in contact with only his sister and mother for a great while.
Some called him selfish, others said he was rude for turning his back on the world that gave him and his sister life for all those years but he refused to listen. He was wanting to better himself for the benefit of his family, landing a couple of jobs throughout the years that gave him enough experience and a handle on life as well as the lives of others to know he could live on his own and support his family. After much time brooding, contemplating and working, Benjamin eventually he found himself back in this world, intrigued not by the war but by the job at Azkaban as their local shrink, taking in clients from both in and out of the prison. He found that this would help in not only the investigations around the city, to do some good, but his own personal investigation to find his father. Ben has a feeling that his father is still alive out there, somewhere. He needed to find him.
Currently, Benjamin holds very little opinion about the Regime, wanting to lay low until he solves the mystery surrounding his life. A lot of his clients come from both major sides, and other walks of life and he carries a lot of secrets around with him, making him a great asset to many...and in a way, endangers his life without him being aware of it. He works through London as well as in a private office on the Alley, is summoned to Azkaban when necessary and helps at his sister Claudia's clothing boutique "Chic Magique" when possible.
