- "Whats the golden rule of gears rook?
"Oh um, do unto others as you...
"No, take cover or die."
Marcus and Ben, as Ben learns the Golden Rule of Gears.
Benjamin Carmine was the youngest of the four Carmine brothers, and joined the COG army along with them. His brother Anthony was killed during the Lightmass Offensive, and the Carmine family regarded him as a hero for his role in the Lightmass Offensive. His other two brothers, Clayton Carmine and an unnamed other, were also actively serving the COG.
The name Carmine seems to attract bad luck. Benjamin was the youngest of the Carmine brothers. He joined the COG and was put on Delta Squad a few years after his brothers death. He he would later fall out of an unstable King Raven helicopter and into the mouth of a giant beast called a Riftworm. Soon after Delta Squad and their King Raven get swallowed by the beast moments after Carmine's fall. Marcus and the other COG soldiers survive the trip inside the monster. They eventually reach Ben inside the Riftworm, sadly it was too late. He was gravely wounded by giant bug-like creatures called Nemacysts. His final words are to Marcus, asking him to relay a message to his family.
Benjamin (like his brother Anthony) was "green as grass," but was able to survive most of the first day of Operation Hollow Storm, where as his brother was killed only hours into the Lightmass Offensive. Like his brother, he held the veterans of Delta in high regard and believed it was an honor to serve in the same unit that his brother "heroically" died in. However, Benjamin is unique from Anthony in that he is a polite and kind-hearted sort of soldier and will disregard the Golden Rule of the Gears if he sees a teammate down. However, perhaps thanks to frequent prompting from Marcus and Dom, this is the only time he will rush out of cover but he still has a better understanding of staying in cover than Anthony did.
To the end of his life, Benjamin remained unaware of how Anthony Carmine really died. He believed that his brother died a hero. Benjamin was also known for his love of fire as stated by Dominic Santiago after finding the Scorcher Flamethrower. His older brother Clayton Carmine has tattoo's commemorating him and his other fallen brother Anthony.
