Mental Status: Certifiably psychopathic, Beckert concedes that "voices" are culpable for the concupiscent, repugnant, and truculent transgressions he commits. He implies that paroxysms of propitiation, even jollification, immediately follow a murder, proffering revivifying and revitalizing respite from said "voices", if only fleetingly. This is comparable to the confounding contretemps of a narcotics addict, and though he was immured within an insane asylum, his release therefrom preceded, and presaged, his initial abductions.

Underworld Ties: For the most part, Beckert loathes the organized criminals, picaroons, and malefactors of twentieth-century Germany - a sense of rancor reciprocated risibly by the "heads" thereof, who endeavor to assassinate him so as to disabuse the denigrations of the denizens, and politicians, of Berlin who had erroneously taken Beckert for a constituent of the "gangs".

Characteristic Proclivities: His manners foretoken a fixation with numerous things, the most melodious, and notorious, of which is his compulsive whistling of "In the Hall of the Mountain King" from Peer Gynt. Furthermore, upon merely descrying in the distance some delightfully youthful, cherubic, and/or vivacious female, he is inexplicably, yet inextricably inundated by seemingly sexual inclinations.

Modus Operandi: - Whistles Peer Gynt - Cultivates camaraderie with the prospective victim by procuring toys, balloons, or chocolates to entice and inveigle her. - Though the implements of imprecation utilized by Beckert are nebulous, he has, in one incident, been beheld by bystanders with a knife hidden in behind his back. It is strongly insinuated that said knife is re-utilized for each massacre.
