Character’s name: Ben Jago
Canon: Othello (a mixture of Shakespearean canon and the 2001 film- hence the name change)
Classification: Boat arrival
AU information: As an ensign in the US Navy, as a SEAL, Ben spent most of his time hearing war stories from everyone else instead of really experiencing them on his own. However, he was always looking forward to the future. When an opening came around for a promotion, he was counting on a little bit of nepotism to help him secure the position. He was, after all, friends with a higher up named John Othello. But, as these things go, Ben didn't get the position and, instead, someone else did. Someone he despised.
He quickly used another ensign to kill him, and, through lies and deceit, managed to escape the notice of the authorities until John finally caught on to him. Iago deserted, leaving his wife and friends to flee the country. Luckily for him, the outbreak started just as he did and, when chaos broke out, he was able to escape without notice. The boat that he left on, however, was one of the fateful few that were without port. Until he arrived at Zanzibar.
He claims a police background, instead of a military one, but carries himself as a soldier and the equipment that he has is usually military grade. He doesn't care about the family he left behind and rarely even mentions them. Whenever his past is mentioned, he clams up.
