== Overview ==
Benedict- the man who is both the hunter... and the hunted.
He and his group of bandits known as the Darkness of Duskwood have been killing innocents for decades and have been hunted by dozens of adventurers and heroes. Up until the moment when he met Jared and his allies, the cruel leader was hunting for one of his biggest enemies- a descendant of Allister's family who turns out to be his dear grandson.
Although he is a skilled fighter, Benedict loves to mock his opponents, enough to make them lose faith in themselves. His methods allow him to both run away from a battle and confront his opponents with a deadly combination of strength and precision. 
However, those things will soon prove to be his undoing as a certain someone will make him realize that nothing is impossible.
