For Keepers seeking a calculating military mastermind, a ruthless noble commander, or an elite aristocratic rival, this Artifact commands absolute focus on the grid.

Tabletop Lore

Once a loyal follower and trusted military advisor during a historic rebellion, Benoit’s unyielding allegiance wavered over the centuries after he and his commander were infected with vampirism. Though he initially remained steadfast through prolonged regional conflicts, he could no longer faithfully serve by the twilight of those campaigns. Forsaking the strict ideological tenets instilled in him by his old master, Benoit departed for the northern territories to pledge his strategic brilliance to a rising noble court instead.

Highlight

The austere, decorated military uniform paired with the subtle reliance on a walking cane gives this commander an unmatched narrative depth, signaling a veteran who blends physical frailty with lethal tactical sharpness.
