Six pages of The LOST Encyclopedia are devoted to Ben Linus.
There were several incarnations of Ben in LOST.
Young Ben was portrayed by Sterling Beaumon.
My collection includes a 6"x4" postcard from Comic Con 2010....
...an autographed trading card from Rittenhouse LOST Archives,

I received this painting by Sterling Beaumon
as a gift from my friend Sue H.
Sue received it as a donation incentive during
an "Autism Speaks"' fundraiser.
It was painted during the time Sterling
portrayed young Ben on LOST.
Michael Emerson portrayed the adult Ben.
"Henry Gale" was the identity Ben assumed when he infiltrated the Losties.
I don't know it it has an official title, but I am calling it
"Ben x 2". The numbers can be seen just below adult Ben.
It is signed near the the bottom.
Our first introduction to ben Linus
was in the persona of Henry Gale.
