Summary[]
Ben Fox is a highly prolific serial killer that goes by the name of "The Madison Headhunter", due to the only remains of his victims being their decapitated heads. He has a job as a Forensic Pathologist at a morgue, determining the cause of death for people. He uses his immense medical knowledge to reduce how much blood is made by a victim and the perfect way to kill them. He started killing after killing his own abusive parents. Afterwards, he felt as if killing was a sort of therapy for him to deal with the trauma his abusive parents gave him, and freqently does it to keep himself "sane."
After getting caught by his brother, his brother made a deal with him. If Ben used his knowledge as a serial killer to help catch other serial killers, he wouldn't report him & would keep him out of jail. And in exchange, James would let him kill some of the killers that he catches. Ben agreed to the terms, and would go onto assist James in hunting down killers, and would eventually turn James into a serial killer himself.

Intelligence: Genius (Is considered the smartest character in the entire series, only rivaled by Agent Hunter. Graduated top of his class in medical school and instantly got a career as a high-level Forensic Pathologist, which often takes over 13 years for people to do. He can use this immense knowledge of medicine to make surgical cuts on his victims that are perfectly made to reduce blood splatter and kill them in the most painful way possible. He manufactured the RM8 pills & syringes, altered the chemical composition of various anestetics to make bioweapons out of them, and was able to make various high-powered poisonous gasses. Has vast knowledge in psychology, being able to perfectly predict how others will think. He can exploit his expertice in psychology to easily manipulate people and blend in as a normal member of society, as well as come up with convincing lies on the spot and lie his way out of alligations for him being a murderer. He was also able to use his knowledge in psychology to diagnose his brother and find a way to help him get over their childhood trauma, something which even some of the most skilled therapists were completely unable to do for James. Got away with his killings for over a decade, with his case being considered one of the hardest possible cases to crack, with even the FBI & CIA being completely unable to solve it. Leaves vitually no evidence in his murders and considers his craft as being perfect. Broke into and out of a prison to kill a man without getting caught. Came up with a plan to blackmail Fransis into giving up the Madison Headhunter case without exposing himself as The Madison Headhunter. After James got his assistance in tracking down other criminals, James was considered the single greatest detective in the state. Ben was also able to solve cases that were considered impossible to solve for several decades and solved several cold cases that even the best detectives had trouble solving, though he did have James' assistance. James has also stated that if Ben had decided to become a homicide detective instead, he probably would've been the best one in the country. With a single glance of a photo of a decapitated head, Ben was able to instantly come up with a plan to catch a copycat killer of himself, which ended up working. Ben has also shown himself to have deep understanding of various other subjects, such as chemistry, physics, art, literature, philosophy, and mechanics. Has a photographic memory, letting him memorize a 19 digit code with a glance and refer back to it over 2 months later. Is a very skilled martial artist, being able to take down those far stronger than him with skill alone. Is stated multiple times to be smarter than his brother and that he still considers James "the dumber one" between the 2 of them)
Standard Tactics: Ben will often end up finding a way to sedate his victim, whether it be through the RM8 pill/syringe or another way to knock them out. Once they're knocked out, he'll preform his kill ritual on them. Although he prefers to preform the kill ritual to help him deal with his former trauma, he is willing to kill in other ways if he deems it nessecary, such as poisoning or using his instruments to kill them right then and there.
- Kill Ritual: Ben found that in order to deal with his childhood trauma, he kills his victims in specific ways. He ties them to either a tree or a table, then he chops of their head with either an axe, katana, or machete. He then cuts out the tounge & hearts of his victims, eats the heart and stores the tounge in a collection, before cremating the body and putting the ashes into the persons mouth before sending it down a random river.
Weaknesses: If he fails to kill someone in his very specific Kill Ritual way for an extended period of time, he will become immensely depressed and irratic. Hates violence against animals, though he is willing to do it if needed
