According to NPiA, p33, Benedict is leaning on a lance, not a staff. "Then there was Benedict, tall and dour, thin; thin of body, thin of face, wide of mind. He wore orange and yellow and brown... He had a long strong jaw and hazel eyes and brown hair that never curled. He stood beside a tan horse and leaned upon a lance about which was twined a rope of flowers." This maybe is nit-picking but makes more sense than a staff which a lot of people will associate with being a wizard. Benedict was the master of all weapons. The trump drawings in The Illustrated Roger Zelazny might be useful.

I hope you get his red and black striped horse in from TGoA.

Also I believe Benedict was older than Osric and Finndo, not younger.

Corwin describes Benedict as the greatest swordsman there has ever been.
