Quote: "I don't dare say how much I enjoyed that..."
Once he was the foremost of sinners: Audruaoch, a mortal man so evil, so dedicated to the cause of darkness, that when he was finally claimed by the Nine Hells, he did not become currency in the dark machinations of the infernal nor was he reduced to the lowly position of devilish cannon fodder. His personal power and conviction came with him, and he became a powerful agent of the Nine Hells, a dark knight mounted on a devil steed.
Then one day, through unknown events, Audruaoch was offered a second chance, and without hesitation, he took it. He underwent The Scourging, his old life reduced to ghostly memories of evil and suffering, and emerged a hellborn. Not content with that, he entered the service of the Horned Goddess and became one of her few paladins, and took the mortal alias "Beckett." An expert in combating demons and devils, Beckett has become a relentless fiend hunter, tracking them wherever they go and dispatching them. To his surprise, when he called for a charger to carry him in battle, his summons was answered by Beselith, a fierce redeemed nightmare who had willingly undergone a divine atonement and become an agent of celestial forces. Paired with this unusual steed, Beckett has become the most dogged enemy that has ever hounded the forces of the Nine Hells.
It is said by some that Beckett is one of the only Deneldan paladins to ever join that secretive organization known as the Gray Guards, paladins who are entrusted to do what normal champions cannot do. Indeed, a remainder of Beckett's former dark past clings to his ruthless and even sometimes brutal methods in dealing with devils and demons, as witnessed by the Wings at the Bleak Academy.
