	Due to the influence of the stories Bentley heard through childhood, he consumed as many young-adult books centered around Alcorian Myth Cycle, especially crime or thriller novels centered around Wenda the Demon Huntress, who was styled after [[Wendy Corduroy]].

Dipper followed him around for some time. Bentley tried to ignore him at first, still being pretty freaked out by the situation, but got a bit better after Dipper recognized and put to rest some of his misconceptions - namely, that he wanted him for his wife.

Philip Farkas was initially shocked, but soon settled into a kind of academic excitement.

	Bentley's life from then on is never too far from interesting.

Due to this history the summoning of demons is strictly illegal; Bentley fraternizing with Alcor would, of course, not be treated lightly were it known. ~~He does~~ his best to keep Alcor a secret, even from Torako Lam, the best friend he ~~meets~~ in high school.		Bentley's life from then on was never too far from interesting. He lived in the Californian Island Federation, the shattered remains of California long after its destruction by Alcor himself during a fight with another demon. Due to this history, the summoning of demons was strictly illegal; Bentley fraternizing with Alcor would, of course, not be treated lightly were it known. For this reason, he did his best to keep Alcor a secret, even from Torako Lam, the best friend he met in high school.

	At one point Bentley ~~hears~~ rumors of a planned summoning of Alcor. Worried because Alcor ~~has~~ become secretive lately, Bentley ~~investigates~~ himself. He ~~stumbles~~ upon a major political figure of his island summoning the demon and offering the lives of her wife and daughter in exchange for further political power. Afraid that Alcor is going to accept, Bentley ~~interferes~~, stunning the councilwoman and demon alike and freeing the captives. They almost ~~make~~ it out before Alcor, needing to keep up appearances and enraged by the risk Bentley had taken upon himself, ~~stops~~ them. He is then stuck accepting the woman's deal, claiming the "lives" of the two victims plus Bentley himself and effectively eating them, tucking them away in the dimension of space that serves as his stomach and releasing them when it is safe to do so. It ~~takes~~ quite some time and some painful conversations for Bentley to accept the mistakes he made in the situation as well as Dipper's apologies.

He planned to attend a university on the mainland to study sigil magic in depth, and eventually went on to attend college near the northern border of the contemporary United States (southern Wisconsin in today's terms), and eventually went on to graduate school a little further southeast than that.<ref name=":0" />
