Involvement[edit | edit source]

Moonrise Towers[edit | edit source]

Bennel can be first encountered in Moonrise Towers, on a balcony on the eastern side of the first floor playing cards with Acolyte Daine. Bennel correctly deducts that Daine is a former Flaming Fist after noticing that she cheats,[2] and explains that the blood-stained cards are a result of him killing his brother.[3]

Defending Moonrise Towers[edit | edit source]

If the Nightsong is freed and the Harpers launch their assault on Moonrise Towers, Bennel is killed during the subsequent battle. His corpse will be situated on the bridge leading into Moonrise Towers proper, at X: -152 Y: -112.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • Unlike most Zealots of the Absolute, Bennel's armour is adorned with gold highlights that aren't found in any other Zealots' outfits.
  • Bennel killed his brother over him hitting a True Soul, accusing the latter of being "some kind of monster". Nevertheless, it appears that his brother was a former Absolutist, as Bennel had to toss him off of Moonrise Towers.
