Benjamin "Benji" Rigg is the father of Nadine Rigg, and husband of Inez Rigg (nee Teasley). Benji is wealthy thanks to his ties to the railroad industry. About two weeks after Inez dies, Benji falls ill. His health fluctuates during Nadine's engagement to Nathaniel Locke III, but eventually, in a state of delirium, Benji walks in front of a Barrow and Locke train and is killed.
