Line 9:
* [[And I Must Scream]]: A possible fate for him.
* [[And There Was Much Rejoicing]]: If the Courier kills him, no one in the Mojave is really sad to see him go, not even the people who have been living under his protection on the Strip.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type IV]]. Or alternatively...
* [[Anti-Villain]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Villains|Type III]]. He has no intention to rule humanity, just make a pretty penny while putting it back together.
Line 78 ⟶ 79:
Benny is the head of the Chairmen, one of the Three Families who rule the Strip. A major antagonist early on, Benny was the one who shot the Courier in the opening of the game and stole the Platinum Chip to use for his own plans. A charming, backstabbing snake, Benny's willing to do anything to come out on top in the harsh Mojave Wasteland.
* [[Arch Nemesis]]: The Courier's, for the first half of the game at least.▼
* [[Affably Evil]]: He's quite charming and nice, if a bit sleazy and murderous. He even makes it clear right at the beginning of the game when he has the Khans dig you a grave, and when the Khans start protesting that he should just get it over with, he snaps back that he isn't a "fink" and wants to look someone in the face when he kills them.
* [[And There Was Much Rejoicing]]: Kill him, and the only person broken up about it is Swank, his [[Number Two]] (and even Swank won't be sad if you convinced him of Benny's treachery). Most non-unique NPCs (outside isolationist factions like the Brotherhood and the Boomers) will even have new lines of dialogue gloating about it.
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Can be subverted and played straight if the player character is a female. You can have sex with Benny, but it can just be a means to get the chance to kill him in private. Benny himself is even somewhat grossed out about the fact that a girl he has shot in the head and left for dead is thinks he's hot and wants to have sex with him despite that.
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Everything he does was just a misguided attempt at staying alive.
▲* [[Arch Nemesis]]: The Courier's, for the first half of the game at least.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: He's a relative push-over in-game, but the ''All Roads'' comic shows that despite his dandy-like appearance Benny is actually highly skilled in wasteland survival and combat, impressing even his Great Khans henchmen. This makes sense, as he used to be a wasteland tribal warrior prior to Mr. House's takeover and renovation of New Vegas.
* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]: He has a very nice suit and one of the most powerful pistols in the game.
Line 105 ⟶ 107:
* [[Karmic Death]]: When Benny ends up at the Fort, Caesar gives you the opportunity to kill Benny in a multitude of ways if you want to kill him. The most simple way to go about it is actually a role reversal of the opening of the game, only this time, Benny is the one tied up on the floor, and The Courier is the one with the gun (provided you manage to smuggle it in). Even Benny cracks a joke about how the tables have turned on him.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Calls [[Hey, You|the Courier]] "Baby" [[Ho Yay|regardless of gender.]]
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: He's based on Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, the gangster often credited with founding the modern Las Vegas.
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Happens during a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] where you deliver a [[Bond One-Liner]] to him over the intercom while he thinks he's talking to the thugs/cleaners who are there to clean up your corpse.
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: ''All Roads'' in particular casts Swank and Benny like this. Benny is scheming to take on Vegas, Swank is worried about the extremes he'll go to... and about him getting cigarette burns on the carpets.
