Benjamin

Benjamin is a strange device referred to as a "shieldwork". It was created by the Empire of the Dragon to defend others in combat. The Apprentice discovers Benjamin (and names it) after she escapes confinement by the Crow-People. When activated, a shieldwork can easily block melee weapons by rotating at high speed, creating an impenetrable barrier. Benjamin can speak the tongue of man, but has a notable stutter.

Benjamin bears some resemblance to a Benson-model android.
