===Clans===

{{seealso|Brotherhood of Randis}}Lucas Beckett was born a member of the [[Josian Cluster]] of [[Clan Cloud Cobra]], later serving as a [[Star Commander]] in [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]]. He arrived on [[Randis IV]] with his [[OmniMech]] in late [[3060]] and quickly adapted to the Brotherhood's similar moral code. His [[Clan]] background would soon influence the cadre's own philosophy.<ref name=FMP-116/>
Lucas Beckett was a Star Commander of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] and a member of the [[Cloister|Josian Cloister]] , having earned his [[Bloodname]] just previous to the start of [[Operation BULLDOG]].<ref name=MMSD/><ref name=FMP-116/> When he was cut off from the rest of his [[11th Jaguar Regulars (Clan Smoke Jaguar) | unit]] on [[Albiero]], he waged guerrilla warfare for months, until hearing of the Clans' defeat. Apparently frustrated with the Clans' inability to wrest victory away from the Inner Sphere, he bartered for transport off the planet for both his subordinate [[Carson (Clan character)|Carson]] and himself.<ref name=MMSD/>
 
  
===The Brotherhood===
+
By late [[3062]], Beckett's political skills within the Brotherhood were advanced enough for him to pressure the Council into dismissing [[Galahad Frews]] as Grand Knight and appointing himself in that role. He has demonstrated that he is a good combat leader, though still lacking a bit in the political skills needed for diplomacy within the [[Inner Sphere]] and the [[Periphery]]. There was support from within both the Brotherhood and on Randis IV to have Frews return as Grand Knight, especially by those seeking to have the Clan influences removed. However, Frews distanced himself from these expectations.<ref name=FMP-116/><ref name=ISP2-40>''[[Jihad Conspiracies: Interstellar Players 2]]'', pp 40-44</ref>
Eventually, Beckett and Carson heard talk about the Brotherhood of Randis and traveled there. They arrived on [[Randis IV]] with his [[OmniMech]] in late [[3060]] and, with the apparent advantage of his Josian background, quickly adapted to the Brotherhood of Randis' similar moral code. Along with his 'Mech, his superior training was witnessed by [[Galahad Frews]]. His [[Clan]] background would soon influence the cadre's own philosophy.<ref name=MMSD/><ref name=FMP-116/>

Under his aegis, the Brotherhood has engaged the [[Word of Blake]]'s influence in the region, successfully checking their goals. He has allowed Frews to remain as titular head of Randis IV, which has resulted in the improvement of the standard of living on the planet. In recent years, he has brought in a number of other former Clan warriors, most notably Brother [[Nyleith]], of [[Clan Coyote]]. Additional Smoke Jaguars had arrived on the planet in great numbers by [[3076]], but apparently had not yet been admitted to the Brotherhood.<ref name=MMSD/>
 
 
Lucas was still the Grand Knight and Commander of the Brotherhood in [[3085]]. <ref name=FM85>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 152</ref>
