Beck Pienaar

"'We can assist you, for a price of course. Nothing here is free.' - Beck, offering some mercs his help in a complicated mission."Beck Pienaar is a former JSI Mercenary who turned traitor during the Battle of Cape Town. He was notable previously for being a vicious mercenary who killed without any mercy or morals. He worked in a tag-team with his close friend and accomplice Johannes Van Der Xil, and became disillusioned with JSI when they allied with the EU.

History
Beck has been noted on many occasions to be ruthless and to take any contract. Before he joined JSI, he worked as a hitman in the Middle East, which is where he met and teamed up with Johannes. The two of them then became fast friends through their shared lack of morals and love of money. Johannes' death in 2018 during the EU assault on the JSI base drove Beck into a cold rage, which never truly ceased.

When the Atlas Coalition allied with the EU, Beck decided to cut his ties. He waited until he was in an optimal position in the Battle of Cape Town, before betraying JSI and Atlas by slaughtering their advance squadron and caused the suburbs of Cape Town to fall under PRGA control. It is believed that he also organized the espionage attacks against General Eric Connelly and the Atlas Generals.

Death
After the African War, Beck became involved in later skirmishes with mercenary groups in Africa. He was continuously drawn to the Congo where Johannes was killed. Eventually, Beck's past caught up with him and his location was leaked to an Atlas Intelligence Agency Strike Team. Beck at this point was hiding in the irradiated zone, content to live in relative peace in the ruins of the old JSI base. His final stand was one of legend, taking down most of the squad personally before finally detonating charges, ending his life and taking the rest with him.
