Beck is the taxi driver for the Chicago Wardens.
Personality[]
Beck doesn't charge the Wardens for their taxi rides. When driving for Mrs. Hapsteade, "HAP" appears under the extras section of their fare meter.
Description[]
Beck is a lumpy figure, heavily bundled and wrapped from head to toe, with the exception of their bright blue eyes. They are described as squat and round. Their gender is indeterminate, and they remain silent.
Relationships[]
History[]
Beck drove Horace and Chloe from the raven cloister back to Horace's house after the Fall of the House of Answers.
The next morning Beck drove Horace, Chloe, and Mrs. Hapsteade from Horace's bus stop to the Mazzoleni Academy. They presumably drove Mrs. Hapsteade to the bus stop originally.
Trivia[]
- Beck may be a Warden. While recruiting Horace and Chloe, Mr. Meister explains that there are currently six Wardens in the city. This includes himself, Mrs. Hapsteade, Gabriel, Neptune, and Brian, but the sixth Warden is unknown. Given Beck's mysterious nature and unusual talents, it's possible that they are this sixth Warden.
- A small blue cloth bag hangs from the mirror of Beck's taxi. It is also described as faded and bulging. The significance of this is unknown.
