Ben Os-Mine

"His hair was wild and his beard was long. His clothes hung in rags about him. He had lived alone in the hills for many a long year, and the birds knew him well."

- Tales of Deltora

Ben Os-Mine was a man who lived in the Os-Mine Hills and discovered Goblins.

History
Ben lived alone in the Os-Mine hills for many years. During his daily drink at a pool that lay before a Dragon den, Ben saw seven creatures and screamed in disgust. He seized a stone and threw it at a small Goblin, killing her instantly. The other goblins leaped forward with their weapons raised, but he had run and disappeared into the forest.

Physical appearance
During his life in the hills, Ben was rugged, with wild hair, a long beard and clothes hung in rags.
