Ben Dover

"Ben Dover? What are you, some bizarre subspecies of Earth Pimp?" --Susan Wise, Project RINI

Ben Dover is a male approximately five feet tall who appears in Project RINI as Susan Wise's therapist.

Background
Ben is the only person to actually break Susan and, while he appears to hate his occupation (he launches into a tirade when Susan continues to mock him), this may be an act due to his "I think we've made excellent progress here" after Susan realizes the error of her ways.

Family
He talks about his granddaughter when Susan threatens to kill him:

"I've got a granddaughter – she depends on me to keep her safe, and that's what I do. I'm the only person she's got, and if you kill me...well, I don't know what she'd become without me, but it might just be something like you, you hideous creature! Do you want that on your conscience?!"

Death
The man is killed at least twice, both in alternate endings:


 * In the first, his arm is torn off by Susan right after talking about his granddaughter; Susan proceeds to use that arm to leave the prison.
 * In the second, he receives the message of Susan's death only to find Miss Glowbug has been infected with the Wise mantle. He is then told to warn all of existence before presumably being killed by "Granny Wise".

Fate
Ben's eventual fate is unknown, as are those of Glowbug and the Whatever-It-Is. The Wise Imprimature implies that he survived for a few hundred years, by which point the Whatever-It-Is has apparently fallen.
