Benny (Black Lagoon)

Benny is one of the main protagonists of the manga/anime series Black Lagoon. He is a college dropout from Florida and the Lagoon Company's computer specialist. Along with Rock, he is one of two members to have no kind of fighting ability.

He is voiced by Hiroaki Hirata in the Japanese version of the anime and Brian Drummond in the English version, the former of whom also voices Pip Bernadotte.

Personality
Benny worked as the Lagoon Company's mechanic, computer specialist, and researcher. He also functioned as the Lagoon's driver, and appeared to be the owner of the red 1969 Plymouth RoadRunner/GTX (he also had a 1965 Pontiac GTO that could be seen in Black Lagoon: Roberta’s Blood Trail OVA) that Lagoon Company traveled around Roanapur in, he could also drive the Company's P.T. Boat Black Lagoon when Dutch was not onboard. He was Jewish, or at least of Jewish descent as he put it in Episode 5, and was often called "Benny-Boy" by Dutch.

Benny had an easygoing and non-violent personality: He readily admits to Rock that the two of them are not gunfighters in any way, shape, or form, and the two became friends. Unlike Rock, however, Benny is hardened to the job and was willing to turn a blind eye to Revy and Dutch's more morally questionable methods. He was also a realist and cynic when it came to dealing with the injustices of the world and tried to toughen up Rock when he could not bear what happened to other people like Hänsel and Gretel.

Benny also tended to be possessive of his computers, and would not let anyone else touch them.
