Includes a running list of characters who are only known by the name of Ben.

Tales from the Cryptkeeper

Ben was a young blonde-haired surfer who lived near the shore. He was best friends with a Caribbean boy named Mike. Ben and Mike decided to "borrow" Ben's father's speedboat and took it joy-riding. Unfortunately, their inexperience caused the boat to sink. They were rescued when a ghostly pirate ship captained by a fiend named Red Beard happened upon them. Captain Red Beard tricked the boys into signing a document that believed would grant them a portion of the captain's treasure, but in truth, they ended up signing a contract that made them part of the crew. Fortunately for both of them, they were rescued by another ship and returned to shore. Mike and Ben were forced to take jobs as life guards in order to save money to reimburse Ben's father for the loss of his boat. (Tales from the Cryptkeeper: Ghost Ship)

The Walking Dead

Ben was a young man in his early twenties and was the son of Allen. He was part of a group also included Tyreese Williams and Sasha Williams. They sought sanctuary at the West Georgia Correctional Facility, but when Rick Grimes appeared to be too unstable for them to follow, they instead took up refuge with the Governor at Woodbury. When former Woodbury resident Merle Dixon tried to assassinate the Governor with a sniper rifle, Ben fell into his line of fire and was killed instead. Later, Merle became a walker and was found eating on Ben's corpse.
