Ben Toast was a paranoid conspiracy theorist living in Company Town. He lived alone, making money by doing odd jobs, occasionally even for The Company, which was the target of his conspiracy theories. He spent most of his time spying on everyone else in the town and gaining extensive knowledge. ("Zoovac: The Life and Times of a Clown on a Stick")
Years later, The Company moved out of Company Town, displacing a lot of people. Ben Toast was one of the people who moved out. He eventually settled in Greenover Acres, where, like all the other residents, he got shipments of food from the Church. He briefly met Xaq, who knocked on his door. At first, he was hesitant to answer, but Zoovac called him and reassured him that he could trust Xaq. ("PCG Anniversary Special Part II")
