Patrick James Beckett

A twenty three year old mercenary pilot flying for the Crow team and hired by the Ustian government or resistance to fly against the Belkan Air Force during The Belkan War. James' character appears to resemble those of the Wardog Squadron from the war 15 years after then those of his fellow mercenaries, proclaiming that he is fighting for peace and often at odds with Solo Wing over the nature of the war. After Pixy goes missing in action on the 6th of June, Crow 3 is transferred to the Galm Team, flying as Cipher's wingman for the continuation of the war. After helping in the Avalon Dam raid and destroying the V2 control devices, PJ is shot down by laser fire from Solo Wing's ADFX-02 and is not heard from again. There is some confusion as to the fate of PJ, in a radio dialogue from AWACS after Pixy is shot down, "wouldn't want to keep anyone waiting for you" could suggest that PJ managed to bail out, this is futher supported by the laser only hitting the tail of PJs aircraft and his aircraft visibly turning back in the cutscene when he was hit (only visible in cockpits such as the Su-47) as though he was 'neutralized', leading to his probable survival after the shot. This is countered against a bouquet of flowers propped against a piece of aircraft at Avalon, leading to some believing he perished.
