Polecats biker gang leader Ben Throttle is as coarse as the asphalt he rides on, and damn near as taciturn. But the fact the smell of the burning black stuff makes him all nostalgic over a certain Maureen lets on that his outer appearance, coated in a layer of leathered roughness on top of another layer of weathered gruffness, protects him not just from the road, but his own sentimentality.

That doesn't mean he won't decorate the bar with your face, or shine his boots on your spleen. He will, and boy, he does. But he always means well. Except when it comes to blowing up robotic rabbits. That's just fun.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
