Henshor and his wife Enomna instigated a plot against the Faendryl Patriarch and his family. After the death of the Patriarch's mother in 5122 Modern Era, Enomna reanimated the corpse in an attempt to lure the Patriarch's grandson out into the Southron Wastes, ostensibly to kidnap and corrupt the grandson, raising him to some dark design in the Wastes. This was actually a ruse to create chaos in the capitol, so they could lure away Basilican guards, allowing them to break into secret archives below the Basilica in their pursuit of rumors of life extending methods in the ruins of Old Ta'Faendryl. This was because the research Enomna would have needed was forbidden under the strict laws of House Faendryl.

While the kidnapping was stopped, Henshor and Enomna eluded the Faendryl, making their way first to Behizet and then north along the eastern jungles, then to Barrett's Gorge and Feywrot Mire, and finally north again along the eastern Dragonspine on the border edges. Along the way, they raised demons and undead to attack villages, including near ShadowGuard and north of Mreanith Lake, killing many including those in a village within Ta'Illistim's territory. Henshor and her his wife were eventually tracked to the Wraithenmist where he was killed and his wife was captured. Among the undead she raised to attack adventurers, was the corpse of Paerys Velethuil.

After Henshor's death, Enomna shared that she had been willing to do anything to find a way to allow for her husband to live longer than the standard years of a human, which is what ultimately led them to the Wraithenmist in their pursuit of rumors. However, ultimately the Wraithenmist only held his death. They were amassing but burning through undead, needing more to eventually suppress the Ithzir, while they would have been searching for the rumored ruins of archives in Old Ta'Faendryl.

The Tristar of family Daesavreh were three Faendryl hunters who were not in the city at the time of the original incident with Enomna and the Patriarch's son earlier in 5122 Modern Era. They were pursuing desert rumors of a reckless human demon summoner, which they had no reason to believe was related to Enomna, which led them to Behizet where they found he was shadowed by a guardian who was a Faendryl woman. They pursued the pair for three months and did not discover the woman was Enomna until an encounter near Barrett's Gorge, as they were unaware of her relationship with the human sorcerer. They were commissioned by the Basilica to capture her, but it was deemed irrelevant if the human survived. They were able surmise from what the pair was doing, seeking old tomes wherever they caused chaos as distractions, that she was seeking to extend his life unnaturally. They claimed to not have full descriptions of the pair as they were using disguises and had found no survivors to give them such information, but knew both of their names, knew of Enomna, knew Henshor was old and that they had wounded his leg, and were tracking them with the vulture Kristuh. The Tristar consisted of Watcher Lihukshi Daesavreh, Blade Auait Daesavreh, and Sorcerer Anieit Daesavreh. They had petitioned the Argent Mirror for permission to continue their hunt within the Illistim lands, which was granted and resulted in Henshor's death. Though Henshor was consumed by the shadows in the Wraithenmist, his decapitated head was seen flying around Naidem later in the year.
