'''Beckett Malthus''' was [[saKhan]] of [[Clan Jade Falcon]] and known as "The Crow" due to his ability of manipulation and strategy both in politics and warfare.
 
  
==History==

'''Beckett Malthus''' (b. [[3081]]<ref name=ER3145>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 102, "Beckett Malthus profile"</ref> - d. [[3145]]) is the [[SaKhan]] of [[Clan Jade Falcon]] and known as "the Crow" due to his ability of manipulation and strategy both in politics and warfare.
Though he showed such promise when he was a warrior in his early years, Beckett Malthus lacked the will to do anything more than to maintain his rank.  That did not hinder his ability to pinpoint the weakness of his enemies in order to achieve what he wanted. His successes were able to achieve him the rank of [[Galaxy Commander]] of the [[Khan]]'s bodyguard unit, the [[Turkina Keshik (Clan Jade Falcon)|Turkina Keshik]].<ref name=ER3145/>
 
  
In order to control the future of Clan Jade Falcon, Beckett watched for a perfect candidate in order to mentor them to the rank of KhanHe found his perfect candidate in [[Jana Pryde]]Being a guiding hand, Beckett was eventually able to boost Pryde's rank to saKhan, which eventually was orchestrated to the rank of Khan in [[3129]] after a failed offensive against [[Clan Wolf]].<ref name=ER3145/>

When the Jade Falcon's ''[[desant]]'' was launched into the crumbling [[Republic of the Sphere|Republic]], Beckett found himself attached to it after he fell out of favor.  He slowly gravitated towards [[Malvina Hazen]] who he thought he could control and groom into a future leader; however, that idea was destroyed after he saw firsthand the destructive ways that she followed.<ref name=ER3145/>
