He has known Hodgins since before the company's establishment and has had a brusque attitude towards him since he starting work there. Benedict is shown as a slightly short-tempered, uncouth, and stubborn young man, to which his attitude and speech come off as blunt and rude. He isn't very good with words or being respectful, especially when it comes to Hodgins. He has a tendency to face people head-on and has no problem telling people what to do. He also has no problems voicing his own thoughts, but since he is insensitive and oblivious to his surroundings, his words can sometimes offend people and come off as a little too straightforward. Despite that, he is kind and gentle at heart and is considerate of those he cares about. He can even be considered a bit chivalrous.
