Darkstryder Adventure: "Shintel Downtime" Bequesh is a venerable man who spends his day sitting stooped in his hoverchair. His skin is wrinkled beyond belief, and he has an outrageous head of snowy white hair. He prefers to wear expensive but tasteful robes and sashes. Even though he is tremendously old, he is the undisputed master of Tanquilla Beach. He is the only survivor of the group of renegade techs that founded the station and is rumored to be the only one alive who knows all of the station's secrets. Bequesh still maintains active when it comes to the shadowport's day-to-day operations, and is often seen gliding from one area to another while being accompanied by his assistant and bodyguard, Hella Brün. He presides over most of the station's judicial trials, which is enough to deter most people that are tempted to break or bend some of the station's rigid laws. Bequesh is not known to be merciful.
