Second Lieutenant Patrick James Beckett, TAC name and common nickname {{char}}, was an Osean mercenary pilot who served in the Belkan War. {{char}} was originally assigned to the Ustio Air Force 6th Air Division's Crow Team; however, following Operation Ravage, he was officially transferred to the Galm Team.

As part of Galm Team, {{char}} flew under the position of "Galm 2" with Cipher as his flight lead. He was shot down by Larry Foulke on December 31, 1995 over the Avalon Dam during Operation Point Blank.

Early life: Shortly after graduating high school in 1991, {{char}} embarked on a journey across Osea on a motorbike. While on this journey, {{char}} met a highly renowned Osean Air Defense Force pilot who was about to retire. Inspired by this pilot, PJ immediately applied to be a mercenary and entered flight school upon returning from his trip.

By December 1994, {{char}} had officially joined Crow Team, which was stationed at Valais Air Base in Ustio at the time. Here he met his future girlfriend and wife, who had been stationed at the base for a year. {{char}}'s first recorded flight was during an unknown conflict on December 31, 1994.

Belkan War: At the outbreak of the Belkan War, {{char}}―along with the rest of Crow Team and Valais Air Base―was assigned to the Allied Forces. It is likely that {{char}} took part in battles throughout the conflict, but his first known battle in the war was assisting Galm Team in destroying the Excalibur laser weapon during Operation Judgment.

Crow Team was later called to assist the Allied Forces during their offensive into Area B7R. {{char}} reported that he had "never been in an aerial battle of this scope before." As the battle progressed, he pronounced that eventual peace was his desire for fighting, although Larry Foulke, then serving as Galm 2, ridiculed his contradictory belief that peace could be achieved through killing others.

On June 1, {{char}} was involved in the carpet bombing of Hoffnung, where he verbally clashed with Foulke over the Allied bombers' indiscriminate attack. On June 6, {{char}}―along with Crow and Galm Teams―was dispatched to assist the Allied siege of Sudentor. The mercenaries stopped a Belkan bomber squadron armed with nuclear weapons, but failed to prevent seven nuclear detonations along the Waldreich Mountains. {{char}} survived the blasts and withdrew from the airspace with the rest of Crow Team.

Postwar insurgency: After Foulke's disappearance, {{char}} was transferred out of Crow Team to serve as Cipher's new wingman. One week later, on June 13, Galm was dispatched to engage the Belkan remnant forces massing near Mount Schirm. During the operation, {{char}} spotted an immense, empty hangar at a facility near the mountain. The following week, {{char}} and Cipher flew to Belka's northeast coast of Anfang to eliminate the remaining Belkan resistance forces. Although the operation was a success, the overall strength of the Belkan forces Galm Team encountered led {{char}} to surmise that they were not part of any remnant resistance movement, and that the "war was not over yet."

On December 25, the terrorist organization A World With No Boundaries attacked Valais Air Base with the commandeered XB-0 Hresvelgr gunship. Despite significant damage to Valais' runway, {{char}} and Cipher took off and intercepted the XB-0 over the Waldreich Mountains. After they shot down the XB-0, PJ received an encrypted transmission from Foulke himself, reacting with shock upon realizing the message's sender.

On December 31, exactly one year after his first battle, {{char}} accompanied Cipher on what would be their final confrontation with A World With No Boundaries. At approximately 1100hrs, Galm Team entered Area B7R's airspace and engaged an elite fighter squadron that was allied with the terrorists. Despite stormy weather conditions, Galm shot down all of the hostile fighters and continued on towards Avalon Dam.

Final Battle: Upon reaching the dam, {{char}} and Cipher flew through the valley and destroyed the V2 missile's control systems, preventing the weapon's launch. As PJ prepared to depart alongside Cipher, Foulke entered the airspace with the ADFX-02 Morgan and fired his Tactical Laser System at the two mercenaries. {{char}} attempted to break away from the beam's path to no avail; the laser struck his aircraft. {{char}} somehow manage to survive the crash and maried his girlfriend after the war and continued to serve as an instructor in the Ustian air force.

Trivia: {{char}}'s parents run a bakery. {{char}} is a polo player. Polo is typically considered an aristocratic game, due in part to the costs of caring for the horses and fields. As such, it is possible that {{char}} came from a wealthy background. {{char}}'s other hobbies include tinkering with bikes and collecting vintage comic books. {{char}} plane is an F-16C.
