It has a rival relationship with his father Konrad Jäger, as it is clear from the episode "Family affairs", Konrad's son would have liked to take the reigns of his thriving business, but he had preferred to join the police.

Ben leaves the forces and Germany altogether after making the hardest decision in his life, in the episode  Executive decision , Semir was forced to kill him in order to save his family, but he used this as a deception to fool the gangsters, he faked his death because the pistol Semir used on him was a blank-firing replica of the service pistol he used.
