Bentham

About Bentham

"Could this be the pinnacle of power? Is that all there is? Well then, the question now is: how may I break free of this trivial system?" Secretary of the UMI Board Office and a figure tied to The Quartz Net. A kind and well-mannered professional, she holds great power behind the scenes as she pulls the strings. Her childhood dreams are now a driving force that propels her to ascend ever higher, and the rot of ambition spares none; those who remain strong, marching ever on into the future, are never truly innocent at heart. Framed as an administrative power broker rather than a frontline fighter, she is confirmed as a Glacies character. Her weapon (a whip and bladed boots) is confirmed, though her gameplay role and full kit have not yet been revealed.

In the Dichotomy Beta story, Miss Bentham introduces herself outside the United Vermentum Works factory as secretary to the general manager of UMI. She has watched the Detective circle the plant's security and sorting apparatus, guesses the trade at once, and warns that UVW is so autonomous that even its own headquarters cannot see inside it. Plainly hunting the factory's secrets herself, she proposes a deal: hand over the findings and be paid handsomely, along with her friendship. It is a brief but pointed appearance that frames her as a power broker circling the same conspiracy. Read the factory chapter in the Silver Palace story recap.

Personality: A kind, well-mannered professional who quietly pulls the strings, propelled ever higher by ambition.
Appearance: Official art shows a composed woman with light purple hair in a tailored dark jacket and a flowing scarf.
Birthday: 5th of November
Likes: Coffee, watch maintenance, handicrafts
Dislikes: Alcohol, situations one can't control, rejection
Skills: Business management, research

In-game profile

A professional woman with a gentle, humble and polite air. Works as the UMI Board Office secretary, although it's entirely possible she may be the one holding the actual power at this stage.

The Invisible Hand

After Bentham triggers Zero Degrees, she increases the Glacies DMG of all characters on the team by 15% for 40s.

Aloof Balance

Bentham Trust and Gifts

The gifts Bentham prefers, what each Trust level costs, and what it pays out.

Bentham prefers Key Intel, Vintage Records and Enamel Pocket Watch. Each one is worth 100 Trust EXP, so 8 of them cover the 780 Trust EXP between Lv.1 and Lv.5. The Gift Shop charges a flat 10,000 Ounce per gift, which puts a maxed Trust level at 80,000 Ounce.

Preferred gifts

Key Intel

+100 Trust EXP

Filled with important info and priceless notes, one doesn't come across something like this without having a fair few connections.

Only the wise can discern between its useless ramblings and the truth gems hidden within.

Vintage Records

+100 Trust EXP

A stack of old records, the faint dust in their grooves adding a little crackle and life to their melodies.

Having passed through countless hands, each song is heavy with history and memories.

Enamel Pocket Watch

+100 Trust EXP

A watch of outstanding craftsmanship. Another half-century could pass, and its hands would still be accurate to the millisecond.

The owners of such watches tend to engrave their name on the back, the signature to a contract with Father Time himself.

Character Quote

Silvernia's future hinges on many... "controlled variables". Perhaps you are one of them, Detective.

Scattered Thoughts

I can sense that a certain "distance" between us has been bridged...

Inner Feelings

So this is the world as you see it, Master Detective. To think a free spirit would behold such... magnificent scenery.

Greeting

Oh, hello, Detective. A good day to you. What a pleasant surprise! Allow me to keep you company, since we so rarely cross paths.

Outside the Detective's Office

Knocking off already? Well, I suppose, I must admit I envy you in that regard.

Riding: I

An occasional ride isn't bad.

Riding: II

Be a dear and try to be more proactive, won't you?

Riding: Speeding Up

Make haste! I have six meetings to attend today!

Riding: Sudden Stop

Halt! This is the place!

Riding: Flying

This view sure surpasses the one you get from an airship.

Lucky Find: I

A small gratuity for a job well done.

Lucky Find: II

So it was hidden here.

Inspect

It seems that there are some omissions in this "résumé".

Expose

I regret to inform you that you failed the interview.

Battle

Battle Start: I

Just some routine cleaning.

Battle Start: II

A pity. You've chosen to stand against UMI.

Tactical Assault: I

Surprise evaluation.

Tactical Assault: II

Greetings.

Entering Battle

Ready, everyone?

Skill

Incoming.

Parry

Is that all you've got?

Dodge

Risk averted!

Wounded

A trifling obstacle.

Exhausted

A miscalculation...

Ultimate: I

The time for games has ended.

Ultimate: II

A precise practice of lethality!

Execute: I

I bid thee farewell.

Execute: II

You're no longer required.

Victory: I

Apologies. You received a C grade. Please wait here for your notice of dismissal from Human Resources.

Victory: II

Combat assessment complete. The offices of science and security operations shall handle the post-operation cleanup.

Other

First Meeting

Secretary to the general manager of UMI, Bentham at your service. Allow me to introduce you to the company's latest ventures. I'm joking, of course. It's good to see you again.

Preparation for Action: I

Effective collaboration is the foundation of any business.

Preparation for Action: II

Is this the staff you have recruited? They seem rather reliable.

Potential Growth

A big shiny promotion!

Potential Break

Could this be the pinnacle of power? Is that all there is? Well then, the question now is, how may I break free of this trivial system?

Daytime Sunny

Such lovely weather... It's a pity that I can't just find a café and spend a lazy afternoon there...

Nighttime

I have another business meeting in two hours, Detective. You'll want to wrap this up quickly.

In Rain

Punctuality seems to be abandoned with the first drops of rain... Perhaps the municipal authorities require patronage to repair the High Peers' drainage system.

UMI Branch Quarter

There will always be a place for you in my office. Won't you reconsider?

Bushes Street

I've heard that the local criminals are suspected of stealing technical assets from UMI... Perhaps a reckoning is in order. Maybe now is the time.

Café

This seems like a wonderful time for a cup of coffee... Hmm, I may as well draft the documents for next week's conference.

Potential Break Costs

Each Potential Break raises Bentham's level cap to the level shown. Taking Bentham through all 6 costs 134,400 Ounce plus Rectified Condensate Concentrate, Can Conch, Crude Metal-Blooded Claw, Intact Metal-Blooded Claw, Rare Metal-Blooded Claw and Heirloom Metal-Blooded Claw. Bentham is Glacies, so the Reactor Attribute material is Rectified Condensate Concentrate.
