Ermolai Beckett was a Manticoran citizen and an officer of the Royal Manticoran Navy.
In 1543 PD, he served as commanding officer of the battlecruiser HMS Nike, thus also serving as Admiral White Haven's flag captain. When the Free Duchy of Barca invaded Manticore, he tried to keep White Haven from returning to Manticore orbit through n-space, but was overruled. (MA3)
