John Becot

John Becot is a member of House Becot. He is the second son of the late Allyk Becot and his wife the late Anyta Drake. He is the younger brother of Joryk Becot and older brother to both Deryk Becot and Eldric Becot. At the beginning of 'A Crown of Copper' John is serving as a knight in Lord Rowan Thorner's army.

Appearance and Character
John is a slight man with brown eyes and a pale complexion which reflects his northern heritage. He has receding black hair and a beard peppered with grey. He is blessed with great intelligence for a man of his position but he is also rather naive and prone to making mistakes and poor decisions.

History
Raised as Lord Allyk Becot's second son he wasn't expected to inherit his father's seat of Bear Rock, that honor was reserved for Lord Allyk's first son Joryk. Instead John was trained from a young age to become a knight. He served briefly under Lord Bryce Drake, Lord of the North, before an agreement was struck between Lord Rowan Thorner and Lord Joryk Becot for John to serve the Lord of the Midlands instead. The agreement saw Sir Alastair Thorner (Lord Rowan's Brother) become a knight for Lord Joryk at Bear Rock.
