Halkenburg's presence in Benjamin's body would give him a major boost in the War of Succession, perhaps even giving him enough authority and power to find a way to end the war without further bloodshed.

One of the major problems Halkenburg may face while doing this would be Benjamin's Nen beast. Benjamin's powers have been unknown until now, and perhaps for good reason. Perhaps that reveal will come in Hunter
