Pre-series
Born and raised in North London, England of the United Kingdom, Beckett got into dueling while he was in high school, using a "Gladiator Beast" deck, which he still uses to this day. Despite getting into dueling in his high school years, he never went further in the career, finding it more as a hobby. He went to university, though it took it him longer, as he had gone abroad to learn more about the origin of Duel Monsters before finishing his education. It wasn't until he was in his final years when he met Varya Nikolaev in the night-time program. It didn't take long for him to fall for her - which was a shocker to him since he rarely expressed any interest in girls and soon they began to date.

A couple years later, the two married, and a few months later, Beckett was hired as the new headmaster of Duel Academy's Slifer Red dorm, and as a new teacher. Varya was later hired as a new professor when the school could not hire someone in time.

Trials of Light
Beckett appears in "Starting the School Year with a Bang!" where he and Varya are walking up to Chancellor Crowler and Vice-Chancellor Bonaparte. Varya speaks before Beckett mentioning he and Varya are new teachers.

Varya Remington
Beckett loves and cares for his wife very much. He knows very well she can take care of herself, however, he will step in if someone is treating her badly though. Like most couples, Beckett does show affection to Varya, but the two usually keep it on the downlow, as they prefer it that way.

Deck
Beck duels with a Gladiator Beast Deck, which focuses on Fusion Summoning and Tagging, which allows him to switch "Gladiator Beasts" during Battle. His main strategy tends to vary, but whichever he uses, he always manages to summon his ace "Gladiator Beast Heraklinos" onto the field.
