Benoît Dellac was born in a small village near Toulouse. Growing up reading classic Franco-Belgian comics as well as Marvel comics from the US, he enrolled at the École Pivaut in Nantes in 2004. He broke off his studies after two-and-a-half years, to pursue other projects. It was through his study companion Jean-Paul Bordier that he was introduced to scriptwriter Thierry Gloris in 2008. This resulted in the creation of Dellac's debut comic series 'Missi Dominici', that was published in three books by Vents d'Ouest from 2009 to 2012.
