Benjamin Troy

Benjamin "Benji" Troy is a U.S. Congressman who arranged for the abduction of his wife alongside his mother Dinah. He appeared in Season Ten of Criminal Minds.

Background
Troy and his brother Paul were raised by their single mother Dinah, who shaped him to become successful. As an adult, he met a woman named Sophie and married her. Troy later managed to become a Congressman and began his first term. However, his policies and activities have earned him hatred from both Democrats and Republicans, and his public approval ratings began to slide. Also, Troy started an affair with one of his interns, Michelle Golovin, but her instability caused him to lose control of the relationship and he wound up having to see her whenever she threatened to commit suicide or expose the affair. Her instability became so severe that he illegally purchased a 9mm handgun and ammunition for it for his own protection, despite his support for gun control. In addition, Troy had to deal with supporting Paul when he became a drug addict. Eventually, when Troy's popularity continued to slide downward, he and Dinah formulated a scheme to gain public sympathy by staging Sophie's abduction and giving the incident nationwide attention.
