Benjamin Detrevni

Benjamin Detrevni is one of the main characters in Deadly Salvage.

The series begins with him joining the crew of CIV Artemis on a salvage operation, replacing the former engineer who had become ill before the trip. He identifies himself as Ben Detrevni in Seekers, but most characters refer to him by his last name. Artemis refers to him by his occupation until she becomes concerned for his safety in Fight and Flight, Pt 2. After that, she refers to him by his full first name. In Founders, Detrevni tells William Nathan that he prefers to be called Benjamin. It is assumed that he adopted the way he heard Artemis refer to him. As his childhood was not a loving one, the level of care Artemis showed him resonated deeply.
