Bio:

Season One

Bekhesh first encounters the crew of Moya after Rygel contacts him for the purpose of resupplying the ship. Bekhesh, falsely believing Rygel to be the monarch of the crew, captures the Hynerian and holds him for ransom.

While awaiting a response regarding the ransom for Rygel, Bekhesh discovers Rygel attempting to escape and chokes him to death. Rygel is revived by Jotheb, another prisoner.

By this time, John, Aeryn, and D'Argo come down to the planet and stage a rescue attempt. When the Tavleks attempt to flee, taking Rygel with them, John confronts Bekhesh and tells him that Rygel is worth nothing. Bekhesh is initially skeptical but eventually relents, suprised and confused that John would actually tell him the truth. Bekhesh returns Rygel and leaves.

Season Two

Almost two cycles later, Crichton seeks Bekhesh out, hoping to acquire the gauntlet to use it in an assault to rescue D'Argo's son. He discovers that Bekhesh had given up his life of violence and has joined a pacifist holy order. He is, however, unwilling to give up the gauntlet and agrees to go with Crichton. After Crichton later turns himself over to Scorpius in exchange for Jothee, Bekhesh helps stage an assault on a Shadow Depository, fighting beside D'Argo and Aeryn in an effort to rescue Crichton. After their success, Bekhesh takes his cut and thanks the crew of Moya for bringing him back to his life of violence.
