As his first act before being officially crowned King, Ben decreed that the children of villains be given the chance to live on Auradon, because they should not be punished for their parent's crimes. He was the captain of the tourney team. He dated Audrey, the daughter of Sleeping Beauty, before developing feelings for Mal.
