Benji

A spirited boy of twelve, Benji was bought from a nomadic Arab tribe by Sybelle's brother Fox to care for Sybelle, which Benji loved to do. Benji was the genius of the tribe, able to read English, Hebrew and Arabic, and was bought from the tribe under the terms of a long-term lease of bondage for which Fox paid Benji's father five thousand dollars.

Benji prayed for a demon to take his soul if only to save Sybelle from her violent brother, Fox. His prayers were answered (in a way) when Armand (after going into the sun) killed Fox. Benji, along with Sybelle, become Armand's mortal children, and he his later made a vampire by Marius.
