History[]
| Spoiler warning! Plot and/or ending details follow. |
Beef and Sal Walkerton were switched as babies as an effort to distract Head Alien from the true power of the Walkerton children. Sal was given to Beef's birth parents, John and Martha, while Beef was raised by the Walkertons.
Beef was first seen in Roomies!, fighting alongside Sal Walkerton and Squadron 128 in their effort to recover the Power Booster Rod from the Aliens. He was later reassigned to Squadron 135 under the command of Daisy Conrad.
Despite his seemingly brainless appearance, Beef was one of the few people aware of SEMME's true nature and origins. During his time with the agency, he actively conspired against SEMME and his fellow agents by covertly aiding the JFO - first by spying on SEMME's activities, then later by helping to brainwash the rest of his squad into becoming JFO sleeper agents during a reconnaissance mission to London.
He joined Penny and the JFO on their final assault on SEMME's HQ, revealing his true loyalties by murdering Professor Doc, SEMME's chief scientist, in cold blood, then crushing Guns after she attempted to bring him down with a bullet loaded with brainwashing antidote. Beef was subsequently killed by Daisy after she broke free from her JFO-induced conditioning and shot him in the head, continuing to fire until her gun ran finally out of ammo.
