Biography[]
Past[]
Patrick Beckett graduated from high school in 1991, and went on a motorbike tour across Osea soon after. During the tour, he met a retiring Osean Air Defense Force pilot, who inspired him to join the flight school. By December 1994, PJ was a member of the Crow Team, and had his first recorded flight on December 1994. In Ustio he met a woman who went on to become his girlfriend.
The Belkan War[]
PJ's actions in the early days of the Belkan War are unknown. He is first seen assisting the Galm Team in destroying the Excalibur. He also took part in an air battle over the Round Table and the bombing of Hoffnung. On June 6, he and the Galm Team encountered a squadron of Belkan bombers carrying nuclear weapons. They shot them down, but Belka still managed to drop seven bombs to block off the Allied Forces. Pixy of the Galm Team went AWOL in the confusion, while PJ and Cipher withdrew from the area.
PJ was reassigned to the Galm Team, and assisted Cipher in a number of missions against Belkan remnants and A World With No Boundaries insurgents. The two pilots stormed the mercenaries' base of Avalon Dam to prevent the launch of V2, but just as it seemed like the Allied Forces had won, Pixy appeared, flying an ADFX-02 prototype, and shot its laser weapon, aiming at Cipher but hitting PJ instead. PJ didn't survive the crash. Ever since, his girlfriend kept visiting his plane's crash site on the anniversary of her loved one's death and bring flowers there.

Trivia[]
- Some fans believe that PJ deliberately sacrificed himself by shielding Cipher from Pixy's attack, but there's no evidence to support this claim in the game or manual.
