Benjamin Ferel

Benjamin Ferel is a character in the first part of Lupin. He is portrayed by Antoine Gouy.

He is best friends with Assane Diop, whom he met at an elite boarding school, and currently runs an antiques shop.

1995
Benjamin first meets Assane when the latter begins attending the College d’Andrésy through a donation made by Anne Pellegrini. Seeing that Assane is being bullied by a group of boys, Benjamin steps in and tells them to leave him alone, unless they want him to report them to the director.

2006
Over time, Benjamin becomes Assane’s closest friend. He decides to open an antique shop in one of Paris' flea markets, occasionally selling things that Assane has stolen from wealthy families.

Present Day
Benjamin continues to be the only person who is entirely informed of all of Assane’s exploits, and occasionally assists with them: the fake necklace that Assane had switched out with the real Pellegrini necklace during the Louvre heist is made for him by Benjamin.

Benjamin is also with Assane when he watches Hubert Pellegrini give his press conference about the contents of the Malaysia tape, and helps raise Assane’s spirits after Fabienne’s death, telling him that if he becomes depressed, Hubert will have beaten him, and reminding him that he still has an ex-wife and child who care about him.
