Benjamin Fong, ASCENSION designation SPART205, and later, known amongst the Remnants as Warchild, is the second Remnant of Paladin Decen as well as the boyfriend and later fiancé to a past version of Coraline Jensen.

Specializing in ranged weaponry and long range combat, along with his innate Remnant ability to generate highly destructive Nanopower, Ben comprises most, if not all, of the ranged military might of the Remnants, with no one seemingly approaching the Remnant in marksmanship skills and ranged firepower. According to Ben's younger brother, Deacon "Fury" Chow (Remnant 3), Ben's marksmanship skills surpass even Meena Kennedy's, who was regarded as The Organization's greatest soldier.

Ben's body is unique from the other Remnants, as it had undergone the ASCENSION SPARTAN Endoskeleton Surgery, essentially grafting cybernetics to his internal skeleton and replacing many of his core organs with computerized modules. Because of the surgery, Ben is considered a cyborg, with its own cybernetic enhancements paired with his innate Remnant abilities. This provides Ben with more utility than his brothers.


Abilities

Master Marksmanship: Ben's marksmanship skill has repeatedly been remarked by fellow Remnants and even other fighters as being near unparalleled in skill. According to Fury, Ben's skill with firearms is far beyond human capabilities. Meena Kennedy, the Organization's top soldier, believed that Ben possesses an even greater skill in firearms than herself.

When Ben regained his body and consciousness, Ben went on a frenzy, and was able to defeat Remnant 3, Remnant 5, Remnant 6, Remnant 9, and Remnant 15 by picking them off at a strategic distance extremely efficiently using normal man-made modern firearms. Ben proceeded to outclass Meena Kennedy's Revolvers with a single Desert Eagle, before Merrow Rivenlight intercepted the fight.

Ben's skill extends even further from guns, as Ben is also able to throw grenades with deadly accuracy. As shown when he strategically took down all five Remnants, Ben was able to toss flashbang grenades from a long distance to disorient them.


Expert Hand to Hand Combatant: Paired with Ben's cybernetic conditioning, Ben's mind possesses several martial arts techniques engrained in his memory, allowing him to fight on par with Merrow Rivenlight with his combat knife upon the gap being closed. However, against stronger opponents like Remnant 3 and Remnant 9, Ben is severely outclassed in hand to hand combat. Ben has stated that he prefers fighting his battles from a distance as "a ranged fight will always be to [his] advantage".

Despite this, Ben's close range combat is still formidable, as Ben relies on deception and strategically shifting the fight. Of all the Remnants, Ben's style is the most cunning.
