History: Beckett’s father, Donathan Riley, was a mortal doctor with the ability to see through the Mist in Hartford, Connecticut when he met Eris. He was in a mad rush to treat a group of teens who crashed their car into a semi-trailer. Eris was in the area at the time and was drawn toward the chaotic hospital. She disguised herself as a woman in a patient’s gown to observe. Donathan was putting a patient into an MRI scanner when Eris arrived in the doorway. suddenly, the MRI scanner began to beep. Donathan checked it and rushed to get the teen out of the broken machine. He did so, just before the machine burst into flames. He ran out the door with the teen, He left him in the hallway. Donathan grabbed a fire extinguisher from the wall and ran back into the room. He sprayed white foam over the machine and grabbed Eris in patient form. Donathan and Eris hurried out of the room as emergency crews arrived. Eris admired Donathan’s bravery and asked him to go get a drink with her. He agreed, eager to escape the MRI catastrophe. They had a fun evening and Donathan invited Eris over again the next day. They met over the course of three weeks, Eris getting carried away in love. One night, they had sex. Eris then decided that Donathan deserved the godly truth about her. Eris approached Donathan and revealed her Olympian status with a show of reforming into a warrioress in full armor. Donathan believed her with no other choice. Eris then left, not to return. Nine months later, somebody knocked on Donathan’s door. He answered it to find a small baby boy in a wicker basket, along with a small wooden box. Her quickly took both inside and examined the contents. The boy had a slip of paper on him, naming him Beckett Riley. In the box was a pair of medium lengthed curved swords, a long note about the whereabouts of Camp Half-Blood and when to take Beckett, and a golden apple.

Beckett was born January 14th, 2001 and was a beautiful baby boy with dark hair and murky brown eyes. He walked at 15 months and talked for the first time at age two. At age four he was diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia. Donathan sent him to the normal public schools for elementary. Beckett was also a troublemaker and was kicked out of some schools for instigating fistfights between other students. Beckett was never told about his Olympian heritage and grew up thinking his mother died during childbirth. He lived a pretty normal life for a young demigod. Donathan had trained him in fighting using Martial Arts programs to prepare him for the monsters in the world.

When Beckett was twelve, he was attacked by a Stymphalian bird. He was on his couch when he saw the bird hovering outside his window. He called his dad as the bird broke through the glass. Beckett leaped out of the way and rolled back onto his feet. The bird came at him and he dodged again. Donathan pulled out one of Beckett’s swords and through it at the bird. It clipped its wing and redirected its attention to Donathan. Beckett scrambled to his feet and grabbed the sword on the ground. He swung at the bird wildly when it was distracted and it exploded into sulfurous dust. The adrenaline wore off and Beckett crumpled to the ground. Donathan helped him up and began to explain to him his heritage. Afterwards, he presented him with the contents of his box. Beckett grasped the concept, having studied it thoroughly in school.

The second attack occurred the following year. He was in his bed at night when he awoke to the sound of slithering. He sat up quickly and grabbed his sword. He entered the dimly lit hallway to see a Scythian Dracanae brandishing a large spear. He ducked back into his room. As the Dracanae passed by, he jumped out and hacked it with his sword, causing a large cut on its back. The Dracanae swiveled around and stabbed with its spear. Beckett caught it with the flat of his sword. A large tail swept Beckett off his feet, and the Dracanae stabbed again, hitting Beckett’s hip. Beckett rolled back and got to his feet. Blood leaked out onto the floor. The Dracanae tried this trick again, but Beckett saw it coming and jumped. Donathan heard the noise and came out with the other sword. Surprising the Dracanae from behind, he sliced its head off. Donathan decided it was now time to take Beckett to Camp Half-Blood. The next week, they packed Beckett’s things and drove to Long Island. They saw the expansive strawberry fields and stopped. They said their goodbyes and Donathan left Beckett at the bottom of the hill. Beckett trudged up the hill and into the borders of Camp Half-Blood.

Weapons: Beckett has two double-edged curved Celestial Bronze swords.
