Bennett’s Family Tree: It’s More Like a Bush, and Everyone’s “Dad”
Bennett’s family situation in Genshin Impact? It’s quite unusual. If you’ve wondered who put him to bed at night (besides a hilichurl or two), you’re in the right place. Let’s explore the intriguing story of Bennett’s parentage. It’s heartwarming and funny.
Does Bennett Actually Have Two Dads? (Spoiler: It’s Complicated)
Does Bennett have two dads? Yes and no. If you asked him, he’d probably claim to have two dads, maybe a dozen more. This isn’t a simple two-parent setup. It’s closer to a “Dad Collective.” That’s the best way to understand his family structure.
Why “Dads” Plural? Unpacking Bennett’s Unique Terminology
Why plural “dads”? It’s not just cute; there’s a good reason. In Bennett’s character story, “More About Bennett 2,” he refers to every older adventurer in Mondstadt as “The dads.” All of them. It’s about found family, not biology, typical of Genshin Impact.
The Mystery Unveiled: Who Are Bennett’s Parents, Really?
Time to reveal the truth about Bennett’s parents. The story is not traditional; it’s more about collective care. Bennett is an orphan. He was discovered as a baby. A member of the Adventurers’ Guild found him when dying. This adventurer took him in as a last act of kindness.
When that adventurer passed on, others in the guild stepped up. A group of single, childless adventurers chose to raise him together. Think of it as a team project, but parenting a child instead. They named him Bennett. It shows solidarity among adventurers.
Raised by this assortment of adventurers, it makes sense that Bennett calls everyone “Dad.” This shows affection and respect. He likely feels confused about who tells stories at bedtime (spoiler: it’s probably no one). He may not have one father figure, but he has many from the guild.
Was Bennett Actually Adopted? The Official (Guild) Adoption
Was Bennett adopted? Not officially with a signed document according to Mondstadtian law. But in spirit, yes. He was not originally from Mondstadt. His backstory adds depth. He was rescued as a baby from a dangerous place, a place with harsh weather. Typical adventurer talk.
The Adventurers’ Guild essentially adopted him and made him their own. It’s a tale of community and family found together. Even if dinner likely consists of monster parts grilled that day.
Who is the Father of Bennett Genshin? The Mystery of the Final Words
If seeking a single “father,” consider the dying adventurer who found Bennett. On his deathbed, this figure said four words: “will,” “adventure,” and “final treasure.” Dramatic words indeed. While not a father confession per se, these words hint at an adventurous legacy for Bennett.
This adventurer could be seen as the ‘first dad’ in Bennett’s life. He set Bennett on an adventurous path, albeit indirectly. Yet the beauty of Bennett’s upbringing is in the collective— the guild raised him as a group.
The Adventurers’ Guild: Bennett’s Unconventional Family
Let’s recap: the team raising Bennett is the Mondstadt Branch of the Adventurer’s Guild. Specifically, childless old adventurers took responsibility for him. They nurtured him like their own kin. Bennett calls them all “Dad.” It’s a reciprocal relationship of found family.
Bennett gets many father figures and some questionable advice. In return, adventurers get a surrogate son to dote on. They might send him on some slightly risky errands (it’s for growth!).
Bennett’s Backstory: Bad Luck and a Heart of Gold
Bennett’s backstory isn’t just about his parents; it shapes his personality too. He is kind and passionate, dreaming of becoming a great adventurer. However, fate seems to have plans of its own. His life is marked by legendary bad luck.
We’re talking landslides, overwhelming enemies, and a guarantee of never finding treasure. If there’s a trap, Bennett steps into it. If an ambush occurs, he’s leading the charge (unintentionally). If a “final treasure” exists, it’s usually nothing valuable.
But here’s the impressive part: he doesn’t let bad luck define him. Despite his misfortunes, he stays cheerful and determined. He represents the spirit of adventure, even when adventure seems to resist his efforts. His resilience reflects his loving upbringing from his guild “dads.” They taught him many things, including survival skills and moral values.
Next time adventuring with Bennett, remember he is more than just support with misfortune. He is from a unique family of guild “dads” who taught him real adventure meanings. Even if it includes running from massive monsters. If you want to dive deeper into Bennett’s lore, check the Genshin Impact Wiki for details.
For team builds maximizing his potential, IGN’s Bennett Build Guide is excellent. Also, while on the topic of Bennett and family… there’s apparently some shipping stuff called Rannett? Adventurers and romance—interesting! But let’s focus on his familial “dads” for now.
