==Biography== | ==Biography== | ||
A member of the Corbulo Academy of Military Science staff circa [[2526]], Beamish was going about his duties as the facility's janitor in the school's [[mess hall]] when a fight broke out between two freshman cadets, [[Thomas Lasky]] and [[Walter Vickers]], with the former assaulting the latter as a response to verbal agitation by Vickers. Joining the crowd of spectators that quickly gathered around the brawl, Beamish froze in place and stared at the quarrel with a blank, inscrutable expression while firmly gripping his mop in a ready posture.<ref name="fud2"/> He presumably died when the [[Covenant]] assaulted Corbulo Academy during the [[Battle of Circinius IV]].<ref>'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''', ''Episode 4''</ref> | |||
He was awarded the Golden Mop award for his services at Corbulo Academy of Military Science.<ref>[[:File:Beamish.png|Beamish easter egg in Cortana app]]</ref> | |||

*Beamish was portrayed by [[343 Industries]] Franchise Development Director [[Frank O'Connor]] in the second episode of ''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''. Beamish is a predominantly Scottish surname, which alludes to O'Connor's heritage. Commenting on his role, O'Connor revealed that the mop Beamish is holding is actually a prop, jokingly referred to as a "space mop", that was specifically designed for the scene; while there was a real mop on the set, the production designer did not think it looked "sci-fi enough".<ref>[http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1157640 '''halo.bungie.org''': ''Re: My Favorite Part'']</ref> | *Beamish was portrayed by [[343 Industries]] Franchise Development Director [[Frank O'Connor]] in the second episode of ''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''.

* | *Elaborating on the backstory of the character, Frank O'Connor stated that ''"His name is Hamish Beamish. Ended up aboard a transport headed to the colony where Corbulo was established, with no Cryochamber. To stay alive, he kept himself busy by going insane and kept himself warm by shaving hair from frozen colonists and burning it. He started as a young man with high hopes. This is what he became."''<ref>[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=43116882&postcount=6899 '''NeoGaf''': ''View Single Post - Halo |OT10| The Calm Before The Storm'']</ref> In response to queries about Beamish's fate during the attack on Corbulo Academy, O'Connor stated that ''"He survived a massive Slipspace jump outside of a cryotube, with nothing legal to eat. He'll survive a glassing. In fact, being Scottish, he's probably already been glassed"''.<ref name="hbul1218"/> | ||
*O'Connor reprised the role as part of 343 Industries' commitment to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in August 2014. After several 343 Industries employees have buckets of ice water poured on them, Beamish appears from a shed and begins to mop up the ice while a gloomy musical tune from ''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn'' plays.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvtA8kQPHLY&list=UU7NCg0venpKJg3kuJojKlbQ '''YouTube:''' ''ALS Ice Bucket Challenge - 343 Industries'']</ref> When undertaking the challenge, [[Steve Downes]] (the voice actor of [[John-117]]) called O'Connor out on avoiding the challenge and nominated him to take it next.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GK_haw1-sE '''YouTube''': ''Steve Downes and Jen Taylor Ice Bucket Challenge'']</ref> | *O'Connor reprised the role as part of 343 Industries' commitment to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in August 2014.
