It is revealed that Benn was seen in Aldera, one of Alderaan's capital cities when he developed a relationship Selena Organa. Benn fell in love with her, and he promsied that he would always be with her. The dark side within him would slowly fade, and return himself back to the light side. Benn fell happy, but this was when Richard Organa, Selena's uncle, discovered that Benn was a sith, and secretly warned his niece to break this relationship or die. Selena refused to listen since she revealed that he wasn't a sith, but in fact a true Jedi. Richard was enraged and shot her, causing Benn to attack him, and avenge his lover's death.
