Benedikt

Benedikt (965 SEoP - 1000 SEoP) is a Human Fighter and former (and original) party member of Group 3 of the Legacy of Izal campaign.

Early Years
At a young age Benedikt was levied into the lord of Norkia's army to fight as an ally of the city of Klortho]]. At the end of the war he stayed on in the guard of his home, White Stone Castle. Part of his duties involved guarding the marble quarry that the castle was constructed to defend. This quarry was leased by a family of hill dwarves who taught Benedikt their language and befriended him. Eventually Benedikt was promoted to the Chief of the castle guard by his lord.

Recently an epidemic hit the castle and both Benedikts wife and young daughter were taken ill. He sought aid from the nearby elves but they refused to help him. After his family both perished he was inconsolable with grief. He left his post at White Stone Castle unable to live where he had lived with the family he lost.

Death
In the swamp the group finds a portal that leads to another dimension. They nearly die getting to the portal but make their way in. Once inside they are attacked by a T-Rex. As the group tried to fight off the beast it reached down and snaps its jaws around Benedikt. Before the group could stop it, it thrashed him around, ending his life, and swallowed him nearly whole. The group cut him out of the beast's stomach and burns his corpse.
