Bio: Beck was always a social one, growing up. He would play jubilantly with the other kids, and he was quite good at it. However, one fateful day, when he was 9, he proved to be too good at his social work. As he was playing a game of "Hide and Seek" at the local seaport, Beck had hidden himself in a crate. Little did Beck know just where that crate was headed: a barge destined for South London. It was fate.<br />
Beck spent two hard, long, boring days in the crate before he realized what had happened. He kept himself hidden from the ship crew, afraid they'd put him afloat at sea. When he finally landed in London, he tried to find a way back home, but local authorities mistook him as a homeless, family-less child, and put him in an orphanage. The same orphanage where a Grant Fedaloff joined him some weeks later.<br />
Beck always had a knack for knowing the right things to say. He could talk his way into Area 51 if he wanted to. (Which, for the record, he hasn't.) Rather, he's used it to create diversions and get on the good side of even the maddest crime lords. Rumor has it, he used to be the Maitre'D for Rajan's Grand Palace. He's also an excellent driver, having spent many nights dragging and drifting along the streets of London and its backroads.<br />
He made friends with Grant in the orphanage when he found Grant removing himself from being handcuffed to a chair, a prank some older boys had pulled on him. He gave Grant the idea to get back at them, so he did. The two have been best friends ever since.<br />
Even with all the traveling around the world they've done, Beck has never been back to Havana. He secretly hopes for the opportunity to come along at some point. Until, then, though, he can wait.
