• During a training run before he became the black paladin , in hopes of trying to PROTECT one of teammates he jumped in the way of a phaser and received a SCAR on his cheek . people say it makes him more like his father .

• he often is referred to as one of the LEAST problematic members of the paladins , though he often tends to think he isn't GOOD enough as a leader like his father was . he DOUBTS his abilities as a pilot as well , feeling he needs to do better each time and that if he doesn't succeed , he is a FAILURE .

• Ben is also known as a DISASTER BISEXUAL. if there is one thing he is bad at , it's his own romantic relationships . but by default , he's rather CHARMING and tends to try anyway .

• his middle name came from the hero of ALTEA . Allura was a hero that SACRIFICED herself for all realities . and the masculine form of her name PROUDLY shows it . sure , he doesn't USUALLY tell his middle name , but he wears it with pride .

• ben was diagnosed with CHD (congenital heart disease) when he was fourteen years old . the same DISEASE his father had . ever since then there had been COMPLICATIONS with the male and noting was EVER the same physically with him.
