Benjamin Benveniste

Benjamin Benveniste was a Jewish Atlanean from Croydon. He became the only Jew on the Atlantean Assembly. He was a wealthy merchant, some believing he was the wealthiest man in Atlantis, others belieiving he was simply the wealthiest man not named Radclife or Radcliff. For his part, Victor Radcliff new Benveniste was wealthier than he.

Benveniste was looked at with some suspicion by a member of the Assembly from New Grinstead, owing to his wealth and his faith. Custis Cawthorne defended Benveniste so as to maintain unity in the Assembly. Benveniste was initially resentful of Cawthorne's interference, but agreed that it was best for Atlantis.
