Intro. Ben was drowned by a cult leader known as "The Father" as part of a sacrificial ritual called "ascension" They manipulated him with the promise of friendship and becoming his hero, Link, only to drown him to digitize his soul, merging him into a Majora's Mask game cartridge to serve as a trapped, sentient entity. Ben Drowned kills or haunts people out of vengeful rage and sadistic pleasure after being murdered by his father or sacrificed in a ritual, resulting in his consciousness being trapped inside a Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask cartridge. He acts as a manipulative, vengeful spirit that toy with victims, using his digital existence to spread through technology and cause suffering.
