Early life
It is unknown how or when Benny became a vampire or how he originally died. What is known is that he was killed fifty years ago and his soul became trapped in Purgatory. His remains were buried at a cemetery in Louisiana. In Purgatory, he spent the next fifty years fighting the souls of other deceased monsters. At some point, he learned about a portal that led back to Earth. However, because only humans could use this portal, Benny remained trapped in Purgatory.
Season 8
We Need To Talk About Kevin
When Dean Winchester ends up in Purgatory, Benny encounters and saves Dean from another vampire. Benny offers Dean a deal: he knows a way out that only humans can use and will lead Dean to it if he allows Benny's soul to hitch a ride out with him. Dean reluctantly agrees on the condition that they find the missing Castiel first.
A year after Dean got trapped in Purgatory, he finally escapes using Benny's method, arriving in Maine with Benny's soul in his arm. Dean travels to Benny's grave in Louisiana and performs a spell over his bones that resurrects the vampire. The two embrace and go their separate ways, but not before Dean tells Benny to stay out of trouble.
Benny later calls Dean and they agree to stay away from each other for awhile until they are used to being back in the outside world, though Dean does tell Benny to call him if he gets into trouble and before ending their call Benny tells Dean to keep his nose clean.
Trivia
- Benny is the first known monster to develop a strong bond with Dean.
- Benny's actor Ty Olsson played another vampire Eli back in Season 2.
