Editing Ben Plumm (section)

==History==
Ben's mother is a Dothraki, and his grandmother was half-[[Ibbenese]] and half-[[Qohor]]ik. His grandfather was killed by a Dothraki prior to Ben's birth.{{Ref|aSoS|57}} 

Ben says he is part [[Braavos]]i, [[Summer Islands|Summer Islander]], [[Ibben]]ese, [[Qohor]]ik, [[Dorne|Dornish]], [[Dothraki]], and [[Westeros]]i. He claims to have a drop of [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] blood, which must be why [[Dragon|dragons]], particularly [[Viserion]], have an affinity for him. He states an [[Ossifer Plumm|old member]] of [[House Plumm]] married a "[[Elaena Targaryen|dragon princess]]". He vaguely says that the wedding took place in the reign of [[Aegon IV Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]]. [[Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys]] points out that there were five Aegons who reigned in Westeros and asks which one, but Ben fails to remember the regnal number requested.{{Ref|aSoS|57}} [[Tyrion Lannister]] suspects him to be a distant descendant of a younger son of [[Viserys Plumm]] and a possible distant relation to the famous [[Ossifer Plumm]], and that Ben thus has "two drops" of dragon blood, not just one,{{Ref|aDwD|57}} as Viserys Plumm was rumored to have been fathered by King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]] on Princess [[Elaena Targaryen]], Ossifer's wife.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}}

Ben once served as a bodyguard to the uncle of [[Oznak zo Pahl]] in [[Meereen]], before joining the [[Second Sons]]. When someone Ben knew was killed by Oznak for looking at a woman the wrong way, Ben fled, escaping the city through its sewer system, an experience that haunts him.{{Ref|aDwD|57}}

While plundering after his first battle with the Second Sons, Plumm took some leather armor from a dead sellsword, and discovered a fortune of coins the man had sewn into the lining of the armor. In his naivety, Ben told a fellow sellsword whom he believed a friend. The fellow sellsword told their sergeant, and his colleagues relieved Ben of his fortune. Ben loves [[gold]], but this incident made him realize that it is useless if one is not alive to enjoy it.{{Ref|aDwD|50}}

Ben claims to have fought in a hundred battles, but he does not claim to have fought bravely in all of them.{{Ref|aSoS|57}}
