Information

Major beck makes his debut in 2.01 "Reconstruction." He worked for the Cheyenne Government for some time before switching sides in the season 2 finale. He helped stopped the feud between New Bern and Jericho. Thanks to Beck, Heather was hired as liaison and Jake as sheriff.

Character

As with most of Jericho's side characters, Beck is believable and well-acted. His personality seems to be understanding, but he is also a serious, focused leader. I admire Beck because he seems to care a lot about justice, and will not tolerate revenge quests.

Beck tries to control Jericho's rebellion and acts as a "bad guy" for most of season two, in the sense that he's against many of the main character's decisions. He has Heather arrested for helping Hawkins, and has Jake imprisoned and manipulated to give away Stanley's position after Goetz's murder. Heather gets through to Beck more than anyone and even makes him act despite his orders. Beck and Heather have a good friendship that could be interpreted as the beginnings of a romance. In the end, Beck chooses to help Jericho after peeking in Hawkins' laptop and discovering the real mastermind behind the attacks.

Role in the town:

A Major working for the Cheyenne government. Also, he is hunting for Sara Mason to expose her as a Terrorist. (He doesn't know she's dead.)

Quotes:

(Talking to Jake.) "This man couldn't put his vendetta to rest, so it was put to rest for him."

(Talking to Heather.) "Colonel Hoffman said you showed a lot of guts with him. He recommended you specifically."
