Benjamin Stone is an Executive Assistant District Attorney on Law & Order. Stone worked under Alfred Wentworth (in the intended pilot episode) and Adam Schiff. It was Schiff with whom he is closest, treating him as a kind of surrogate father (his own father having been an overbearing alcoholic, as revealed in the episode "Prescription for Death".) Stone is divorced and has a son named Peter, who is the Deputy Chief of the Special Prosecutions Bureau in Chicago, and a daughter.
