Character from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
An Egyptian vampire with the extraordinary ability to control the physical elements — earth, wind, water, and fire — making him one of the most powerful vampires alive and a prime target for Aro's collection.
Benjamin is arguably the most supernaturally gifted vampire in existence — his ability to manipulate the physical elements (earth, wind, water, fire) operates on the material world rather than the mind, making it unique among known vampire gifts. He is a member of Amun's Egyptian coven but has a independent, principled mind that frustrated his maker's attempts to hide him from the Volturi. He came to witness for the Cullens because he believed it was right, despite Amun's objections. Aro covets Benjamin's gift above almost any other — the ability to affect the physical world is something no Volturi guard member possesses. Benjamin is cheerful, brave, and idealistic — young enough in vampire years to still believe in doing the right thing.
Youthful appearance, olive-skinned with dark hair and crimson eyes. Small, compact build. Egyptian features — dark, expressive eyes and sharp cheekbones. Moves with an energetic, almost playful quality. His physical unimposing presence belies the raw elemental power he commands.
