Ben is the oldest, he is tall, and has dark hair. He lives with his mother because his father left him when he was really little, so he has nothing to do with his father. Alex is the younger one and he lives with his father, he is rich, he is the troubled one, and he acts exactly like his father.

Ben and Barbara being alone in the farmhouse caused some attention.

Though the father's influence was quite indirect; he mostly figured in their afterglow and rather idealistic fancies, both of them became decent and hard-working people.

He was a wealthy, influential and successful man and fathered seven children. He preferred to be brutal but effective, as befits the jungles of life.
