[edit] History
The elder of the two Santigo siblings, Benedicto was an unexpected addition to the Santiago family as both parents were aged just sixteen. His father Dominic Santiago took his brother's middle name and gave it to him. His namesake was his Uncle Carlos Santiago (Carlos Benedicto Santiago) who fought and died at Aspho Fields aged just 20. Benedicto stayed with Maria in a lower Jacinto apartment. He was one year old when his mom was pregnant with his sister, Sylvia. They both became good siblings and very dear to both parents. After Aspho Fields, Dom gave his dead brother's Embry Star to Benedicto. As a couple of years pass, his parents pull off enough money to rent a house.
[edit] Emergence Day
After his parents rented a house in Emprya, his mom sent him and his sister to her mother's while she and his dad have a day to theirselves. Unfortunatley this day was Emergence Day, when he and his sister were killed at their grandparents house. Maria and Dom flee back into Jacinto back into their new house. As both parents are devestated, Maria is traumatized and blames herself for their deaths.
[edit] Legacy
Years after E-Day Dominic Santiago keeps track of how old his kids would be if they were still alive. He mentions that Benedicto would be eighteen years old. Which means Benedicto would be around four years old when he died on E-day when the jungle gym he and his sister were playing on fell into a Emergence Hole[2]. The impact of his death and along with his sister sent Dom into depression and, Maria PTSA leading her too would go without food or talking for weeks at a time, until she ran away from of Jacinto.
