Personality: Raised Catholic, Ben grew up with a sense of justice and fair play, a trait that continues to serve him well to this day. He had a fairly typical childhood growing up, though his father taught him some hand-to-hand so that he might be able to deal with any bullies he encountered at school.
At school he earned a reputation for defending himself and others from some bad kids at school and not caring about the financial status of the bad kids' parents. As he grew up he took an interest in learning about the human body and eventually decided to go to a trade school to learn masage therapy when he was old enough.
He's used his skills in numerous physical and occupational therapy offices. He also developed an interest in space exploration and politics and eventually found his way into the IOA, doing his best to keep under the radar of the more corrupted officials, choosing instead more levelheaded people to train him in the IOA such as Woolsey. He is a generally likeable fellow but is "all-business" when he needs to be. He does not tolerate bullying, least of all by superiors, a trait which has garnered him some black marks from more corrupted IOA officials who'd much rather see him gone.

History: Ben grew up in a loving home with his parents Maria and Harry Callahan. He did well in school and still found time to have some fun too, having played in after-school soccer leagues (ooc: football for you Brits).
He did date a few girls in high school and college but never felt much of a connection with any of them and remains single to this day.
He was always interested in the stars but also enjoyed trying to make the political battlefield a better place and eventually wound up in the IOA due to his good grades both in political science and mathematics. His penchant for honesty and fairness led to Woolsey taking him under his wing where he was taught the way of the political battlefield that was the IOA and which members of the IOA were corrupted that he had to watch out for. He decided that he wouldn't answer to any of the corrupted leaders and would fulfill his duties with fairness and impartiality.
He was rather impressed with the way the SGC and its soldiers and staff handled all the bad stuff that came with exploring the stars. He is also strongly influenced by the Catholic faith of his parents, the little exploring of the stars he's done in his position so far giving him an even greater respect for the creator his family believed in.
He was more than surprised to be selected as a liason to the Vedas Galaxy.
It seemed he had more allies in that battlefield than he thought. But if necessary, if he were asked by his superiors in the IOA to do something he knew to be wrong he would definitely resign his position in the IOA. His sense of fair play and impartiality would demand nothing less.

Role Play Sample:
Ben sat in the observation lounge on the Aeneid (ooc: presuming the Shiva is still lost in space) praying the rosary and looking out the window, though at present all he could see was the glow of the hyperspace tunnel they were traveling through. He'd always had a yearning to explore the stars. Even though he never became an astronaut, he always felt that the stars called out to him.
He appreciated the vastness of the universe created by the God he believed in. He signed himself with the rosary's crucifix and kissed it before returning it to its pouch and slipping it into his breast pocket. If anyone had told him years ago that he'd join an international organization of bureaucrats, not many of whom were honest and forthright, and be briefed on a secret program that could allow him to fulfill his dreams of exploring the heavens he always liked to watch, he'd've said they were nuts.
And yet many years later here he was, on a starship hurtling towards another far away galaxy. He'd been told by his mentor, Woolsey, one of the few honest IOA officials in the branch, that he needed to temper his penchant for cockiness. He did notice that his penchant for said cockiness oftentimes clouded the message when he tried to share his faith with others, thus he spent a lot of time working on it and hoped he'd be able to control it.
He didn't expect a warm welcome from the personnel at Vedas base, something he wouldn't hold against them. After all he himself knew what it felt like to have bureaucrats breathing down your neck. But he hoped they'd eventually warm up to him once they saw that he'd conduct himself with fairness and impartiality.
Thus he sat back and enjoyed the ride, wondering what wonders would be in the Vedic Galaxy, and what horrors would be there to avoid.
