Biography[edit | edit source]

In his youth, Beneseck was noticed and brought in as an apprentice by The Rake. His murderous tendencies were apparent, but to be part of the Order, Beneseck's will had to break. The Rake's tactic was to torment Beneseck, throughout every day, with the loud, mind-numbing sound of a bell. This treatment became a instigator to release Beneseck's primal killer instincts. Beneseck became skilled with aiding the Order's need for silver by befriending donors of his monastery and masquerading as a man of true charity. In reality, Beneseck tracked them, visited them, killed them, burglarized them, and then hid their corpses in the very graveyard he oversaw.[1]

The title, The Bell, was uncovered by Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan from a clue. The clue led one to search the chain blockade along Ember River, in northeast Suthsexe. Breaking into a locked building along the blockade, a note was set on top of a table. The note revealed the location and true identity of The Bell: Beneseck of Bath. Beneseck was revealed to be at the graveyard in Brimclif Monastery in southern Suthsexe. Coinciding with a raid, Beneseck, unaware, was tending to his graveyard during the assault. Beneseck was soon assassinated by Eivor and thus ended his influence over Suthsexe.[1]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

  • The first clue that Eivor receives for identifying Beneseck can be obtained from assassinating either Havelok, The Billhook in Lincoln, or the Zealot Bercthun, who patrols in Hamptunscire.
  • Assassinating Beneseck may provide a clue to the identity of Heika, The Sickle, if it has not already been obtained elsewhere.
  • Like the relationship between The Crozier and two other Wardens of Wealth members, The Billhook and its Maegester, The Lyre, Beneseck and his Maegester, The Rake, had a mentoring relationship as well. However, The Rake preferred a more abusive approach when compared to The Crozier.
  • The name Beneseck is a variation of the name Benesek, which is an old Cornish form of Benedict. Given Beneseck's home of Bath is near the county of Cornwall, it suggest that he may be of Cornish ethnicity.
