Benjamin Aconite is the current CEO of Statice Incorporated. The company, founded by Benjamin's grandfather, the company focused primarily on botany. However, Statice Inc. became very successful, becoming his family's main priority. Because Benjamin's parents prioritized the company over him, Benjamin blamed botany for "taking" his family away from him. When Benjamin took over the company, he switched the main focus from botany to urbanization and discovered that it was much more efficient for the community as a whole. Using this to his advantage, Ben managed to drive out the majority of botany entirely.
