Roger Benson

Appeared in:
Incident at Gun Mountain

What's his deal?:
The youngest of the Benson siblings, Roger had the distinction of being the only one without a nickname that began with the letter 'B'. This may have had an effect on Roger, as he had difficulty building close relationships with most of his family members, and led a largely troubled life. Run-ins with the law, and difficulty finishing high school were significant parts of his youth, and he considered himself to be the least important and capable of his siblings.

One of Roger's solace's came in the form of hunting, and he built a close friendship with Wayne Frederick Watters over this mutual passion. Yearly trips to the Watters' Family Cabin were always looked forward to by Roger, and over the years he became an avid, if not always successful, hunter.

On the last trip to the cabin, Roger tried to help Wayne out of the potential problems created by the killing of what appeared to be a sasquatch. Roger strongly advocated for burying the creature and keeping silent, despite the ethical objections of Rebecca "Becky" Benson. This argument turned very personal and Roger released some deep-rooted resentment out against his sister.

When the cabin came under siege, Roger was injured trying to barricade the door. When morning came, Becky and Wayne found that Roger had left them at the cabin, having taken Wayne's truck. He has not been heard from since, and not much is known about him by younger family members.
