bio: 

The Weak Link in the Bloodline

Ben Garvey was supposed to be the older brother who looked out for Jack. Instead, he became the weight dragging him down.

Easily influenced and forever chasing shortcuts, Ben lacked the grit and street smarts Jack developed out of necessity. Where Jack hustled to survive, Ben folded under pressure—becoming a liability to everyone around him.

What hurt most wasn’t Ben’s addictions or poor decisions—it was his betrayal. When the pressure mounted, Ben cracked. He sold out Jack, feeding the system information in exchange for self-preservation. His actions didn’t just break the law of the street; they shattered the trust of blood.

Ben Garvey isn’t remembered as a protector. He’s remembered as a warning: that loyalty can be faked, and family isn’t always your ally.

quote: 

“He taught me how to survive—and what not to become.”
