An Order general, Beardsley was stationed in Pharamond with Princess Fredegund. He tried to keep her on the path of the Order when the Hero’s Company advanced on the city. However, Chrodechild managed to get through to her with the aid of Divine Edge, and Beardsley was forced to retreat. He attempted to recapture the city, but Chrodechild and Fredegund both rode out to meet him, and defeated him.

He returned to Cynas. When the Company attacked the city, Beardsley offered to defend it, and willingly accepted the Mark of Resonant Horror to become a great beast. But the Hero’s company defeated him, and Beardsley perished. - Matt620
