Benjamin Woodman

Benjamin Woodman, usually referred to as Ben, is a ventriloquist at Berry Big Circus who testified as a witness to the events leading to the murder of circus ringleader Russell Berry. Like every other performer at the Berry Big Circus, Ben has no known biological family; the circus acts as Ben's family.

Personality
Ben is extremely quiet and shy, preferring to channel all semblance of extroversion through his puppet Trilo Quist. He gives Trilo a very loud and obnoxious personality, and he talks very quickly, which is such a contrast to Ben's personality that he almost seems to be a living, intelligent person apart from Ben. Trilo has his heart set on stardom, and he even gets annoyed at Ben and hits him at times. Even in court, Ben used Trilo to testify. He also used Trilo to woo Regina Berry and convince her to marry him, though Trilo "claims" that he is the one who wants to be married.

Name

 * The combination of "Ben" and "Trilo Quist" is a pun of "ventriloquist".
