Benjamin hatched in the Octarian domes into a relatively poor family. Since his mother wanted to have a daughter she could raise to be an Octoleet like herself, she didn't really care about him and left most of the child-raising duties for Benjamin to his father. The relationship between his mother and father only further fell apart after they had his younger sister Isabel and found out that she's deaf, and it completely crashed into divorce only weeks after his mother had to get a hysterectomy. Benjamin was ten at the time, and he and Isabel were left in their father's custody since their mother wanted nothing to do with them. His adoptive older brother Amphio came into his life when he was sixteen, as Amphio was in desperate need for stable housing after being on the run from his abusive home situation for a couple years and Benjamin's father needed help around the house and a bit of extra income coming in to better make ends meet. Amphio ended up moving in with Benjamin's family as a result, and he quickly became like an older brother to Benjamin and Isabel.
About a year later, he accidentally ended up meeting Jay while he was out on a mission as Agent 3, and they ended up becoming unlikely friends and later catching feelings for each other. This meeting ended up resulting in them getting dragged down to the Deepsea and Benjamin taking up the role of Agent 8, and after the events of Octo Expansion he returned to his family in the domes. A month after Octavio permitted him and his family to move up to the surface as thanks for his work as Agent 8, and once up there he got back in touch with Jay and the two officially started dating. The two were happily together for a year and a half or so, having even moved into an apartment together after they both graduated school, but after an Agent mission that nearly ended in disaster and a poorly-timed promotion from Cap'n Cuttlefish, Jay started to distance himself emotionally from the people he was close with so that way in the event that Agent work claimed his life it wouldn't hurt those he cared about as much.
