Biography[edit | edit source]
As a child, Bécc grew up at a port, near the Doon Fort, where he was taught that nature's waters and winds were spirits and that sacrifices were needed to appease them. Bécc traveled the dangerous waters and soon became experienced at going long distances at sea. Upon accepting the Children of Danu's invitation, Bécc became both a obtainer of foreign weapons for the cult and a strict, firm advisor. As he rose the ranks, Bécc was seen as both a fearful and glorious leader of the cult.[1]
The cryptonym, "The Seed", was found by jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir when she killed The Deer and recovered a clue from The Deer's personal effects. The clue was a note to The Deer from The Seed, detailing The Seed's need of more men to train for their cult at Dunseverick fortress.[2] Within a meeting between Eivor, Sichfrith and Azar, The Seed became the focus after he stole and held weapons meant for Dublin. Another clue from Azar detailed that more information could be found at Movilla Abbey, in northeastern Ulster.[3]
Within the abbey's church, the last clue gave the name of The Seed to be Bécc mac Nath-í and his current location in Dunseverick Fortress, where he was instructing new recruits. At Dunseverick, Bécc oversaw his duties and his men at the fortress. However, Bécc was assassinated by Eivor, who found his amber shard and a note from The Oak about his recent attack on Flann. From Bécc's note, it was deduced that Abbot Eogan mac Cartaigh was the Ollamh Druid of the Children of Danu.[3]
