Background[]
Personality[]
Beckett is best described as a cruel, unsympathetic and ruthless fiend preparing to murder masses of people including children and also rather arrogant preparing to let nothing stand in his way. He is also boastful by saying "It's Lord now, actually." Ironically, Beckett was a person who hunted down piracy ruthlessly. However, despite this, he does have a sense of honor drinking tea on his flagship the HMS Endeavor before going into battle. He is also manipulative and smooth talking, and will use any means necessary to get what he wants, and unlike most villains such as Governor Ratcliffe or Hades, he is very polite.
Despite his ruthlessness, he was close with his younger sister, Jane, revealed in The Price of Freedom. However, she died from a fever.
