Conor Beard, call-sign Redbeard, is an Australian General who works for the Kingdom of Land.
History[]
Early History[]
Conor Beard joined the Australian Army upon reaching eligible age, and quickly recieved the call-sign Redbeard due to his distinctive neatly-trimmed red beard. By the 2000's, he had risen to the rank of General.
Under unknown circumstances, Redbeard came into the services of the Kingdom of Land of the Four Legendary Kingdoms.
Prior to 2016, General Eric Abrahamson decided to appoint Redbeard as his replacement as supervisor at Pine Gap. As such, Redbeard helped oversee the final stages of the construction of the Square Kilometer Array, which he knew the Four Kingdoms had secretly funded in order to view the Hydra galaxy.
The Four Legendary Kingdoms[]
Shortly after the Square Kilometer Array was completed and activated, the personnel at Pine Gap discovered the incoming galaxy. Redbeard informed his overseers in the Kingdom of Land of the confirmation of the Hydra galaxy's existence, sharing with them the first images Pine Gap had obtained of the fast-moving galaxy.
After roughly a month, Abrahamson decided to bring Jack in on the discovery to see if he might be able to make sense of the crisis. Redbeard, knowing that Iolanthe Compton-Jones was hoping to use Jack as a replacement Champion in the Great Games of the Hydra, informed her of impending arrival.
When Jack agreed to come to Pine Gap, Redbeard and Abrahamson greeted him as he arrived, and stood by Abrahamson as he told Jack what they had discovered about the galaxy, and its imminent impact with Earth within two months. As Jack replied that he did not but agreed to look into it, the chloroxipham that Iolanthe and her people were leaking into the facility wafted into the control room. Before Jack or Abrahamson could react, Redbeard took his pistol and shot Abrahamson in the back of the head, killing him.
Donning a gas mask, Redbeard watched as the confused and groggy Jack tried to escape and followed lazily, knowing he wouldn't escape. Catching up to Jack in the kitchen moments before the gas finally put him to sleep, Redbeard told Jack that he had been picked for a great honour and might indeed have the chance to stop the Hydra galaxy. Redbeard proceeded to help Iolanthe's men load Jack and his companions onto the Sky Warrior before joining them as they left Pine Gap.
