He got along very well with other customers in the bar he regularly drank at as well.

People in the area only know him as Ben, although not much was known of his background, it was evident that he came from a loaded family.

Whenever he was in a good mood, he would pay for the drinks of all the customers in the bar.

Many regulars loved him since they would get their beers paid for by Ruben once in a while. Even if he is a trash that only drinks and live in carefree, he is a likeable trash with deep pockets.

He took may jobs and continued being the best, until one day. All the men that have commissioned him to do their dirty job felt that he was a timed bomb set to explode on them.

He knew too much since he was the one they hired, naturally, they were afraid that he would expose all their exchange or use the information he had to blackmail them.
