Overview
L-Space describes Bent as the Royal Bank’s chief cashier, whose extraordinary arithmetic gives him authority over its clerks. From a movable central platform he supervises their work, commanding their awe and Miss Drapes’s devotion. His severe manner, precise dress and peculiar careful walk present a figure seemingly without humour.
The reference identifies him as Charlie Benito, born into a clowning family. His early career reverses the familiar escape-to-the-circus story: he leaves clowning, encounters travelling accountants and discovers his numerical vocation. Making Money exposes the concealed performer beneath the banker. The article’s account links his later clown identity to a red nose and oversized polished shoes, rather than establishing the suspected vampirism as fact.
