PERSONALITY: Dax is fairly confident, but not too much to appear conceited (unlike his sister). More often than not, he's laughing and joking around, and is considered a bit of a charmer if you let him get too close. He adapted quickly to becoming a part of Devin's team, and would immediately do whatever it took to keep any one of them safe, so long as Zara was looked after first.
FACTS:
- Twin to Zara, he was born six minutes before her to a junkie teen mother who wound up abandoning them at the age of 5. They were left all alone in a shithole house when she went off with her boyfriend and wound up overdosing.
- Scared and living off of what few provisions they had, a couple of thieves on the run broke into the home in hopes of finding a place to stay low. What they didn't know was that the house wasn't abandoned, and found the frightened twins huddled in the closet.
- Despite robbing stores and homes, Will and Lisa still had the hearts to take the twins under their wing. It was hard having to feed two extra mouths, but the couple adapted, and the four eventually became a happy, little family. They were constantly on the run, but the thieves gave Dax and Zara a life they otherwise wouldn't have had. They would have likely died in that house.
- The twins were 16 when the feds finally caught up with them, arresting the Becketts and forcing Dax and his sister into foster care. They were moved from home to home, never separated, until at 18 they took off on their own.
- Having learned the thieving trade from their "parents" (they even legally changed their surname to Beckett), the two improved their methods and went after bigger and wealthier targets. They took classes in self-defense, learned to use light weaponry, and enhanced their skills. Whereas Zara turned to her other "assets" to get a job done, Dax took a more athletic approach. He enhanced his safe-cracking skills and has yet to find a lock that he can't break through. He also toned up and remains quick on his feet with parkour maneuvers.
- When they were 32, Mick Devin approached them in the middle of a theft to offer them a job. They've been with him and his team ever since.
- Is not easily angered and will usually hide his true emotions behind a smiling mask.
- Had been afraid of heights when he was younger and decided to scale a building at 20 years old to get over that fear.
- Isn't a fan of violence, but will do what he must to survive and keep Zara alive.
- Dax takes great care of his body and eats healthy. It takes a lot of strength to do what he does out in the field, but damn does he miss greasy cheeseburgers.
