History
In 1358 DR, Besnell and a hundred Knights of Silver combined forces with the Longriders of Longsaddle, the Riders of Nesmé, and Berkthgar's barbarians of Settlestone to defend Mithral Hall from the drow of Menzoberranzan.

Death
During the Battle of Keeper's Dale, Besnell was pierced through the lung by a goblin wielding a spear. Before he could fall to the ground, Berkthgar the Bold grabbed the fallen elf, who died in the barbarian's arms. His last words were "For the good of all goodly folk."
