Old Ben Dilladong was a jovial and kindly giant-man who lived in the Feywild. His official job position was unknown, but he revealed that it was his duty to patrol the forest of the Feywild and make sure that everything was on the up-and-up. He was most notable for singing his thoughts in a deep and booming voice. He rescued The Tower of Grey from a team of Drow and then, after allowing him to rest in his home, escorted them to the edge of the dangerous forests. He taught them a song they could sing to beckon him back to them, should they ever need help (but only in that specific forest in the Feywild, it probably won't come up again, unfortunately)1.
It never did. Later, OBD did show up, after the defeat of The BBEG in The Castle of the Spring Court. He fought off a bunch of demons. It was great.
Old Ben Dilladong is a reference to a character in Lord of the Rings (Old Tom Bombadil) where they share the same beginning of their rhyming songs.
