2 of 4: Elite Guard of Imagi: Ben Collins

Ben Collins is the leader of the Elite Guard. He is not the typical muscle-head. Although outspoken, he can defend himself verbally as well as physically. His weapon of choice is a battle-axe. Bem Collins is direct and has excellent instincts to make quick decisions.  However, when Davinci is appointed leader of a later to be revealed quest by Amanda, The Everlovely Knighted Princess of Imagi, Ben feels it intrudes on his authority.  He is loyal to the soon-to- be-queen, and begrudgingly accepts her decree. His Alpha Male tendencies does not stop him from hitting on the beautiful Heather Wayne. He knows it bothers Davinci, and does not hide the fact he thinks Davinci is a coward. 

Origins of Ben Collins
Ben is Fantastic Four's Thing's first name. (Ben Grimm) A physically imposing character, Ben Collins reminded me of my favorite Fantastic Four character.
Collins is derived from my favorite singer: Phil Collins, the frontman for Genesis and his own solo career. I've always imagined Ben Collins with a strong British or Australian accent.
