Beckett Harrington

Beckett, a character in The Elementalists series, is a fellow freshman at Penderghast College of Elemental Magicks. He is one of Your Character's Love Interests. He makes his first appearance in Chapter 1.

Appearance
Beckett has combed brown hair, gray eyes and freckled face. He wears a dark blue blazer with the Penderghast emblem over a gray button up shirt.

Personality
He is shown to be rude and condescending towards anyone he considers inferior, such as your character. He is later revealed to feel insecure in Chapter 4 over his family's pressure on him to succeed. Confiding in him allows him to learn to relax a little.

Your Character
When you first arrive, he makes derogatory comments about how you don't belong at Penderghast. In Chapter 2, you theorize that he may have sent the Shadow Monster after you due to his rude behavior earlier. In Chapter 3, he openly antagonizes you in Professor Englund's class, which leads to you losing control of your fire spell. In Chapter 4, he apologizes for his behavior, admits he was rude, and asks for a chance to start over. He also teaches you the Round Up spell and and tells you the legend of Raife Highmore aka "The Dread", a nefarious criminal in the Magickal world.

In Chapter 5, the player has the option of having Your Character say that he's not really a jerk. He's more like... a total nerd. Seen as how Your Character believes he wants people to think he's cool, but doesn't really know what cool is.

In a premium scene of Chapter 8, you are able to kiss him for the first time. As your relationship grows (either romantically or platonically), he tells you he finds your company "most tolerable".

Griffin Langley
Beckett only appears in the 5th chapter if Your Character messes up the daydream potion, which will result in Your Character loosing his clothes due to a Pegasus. In this daydream, he finds the Pegasus' behavior fascinating and calls Griffin his best friend.
