Jason Beck, known as "Gold," is introduced in the series premiere as Dorothy's kidnapper. After being humiliated by Roger during the kidnapping case, Beck's subsequent appearances revolve around his attempts to humiliate Roger in return.
Beck exhibits a great deal of uncertainty. He can appear uneasy and panicky one moment, only to calm himself down and regain composure the next. Despite his outwardly buffoonish nature, Beck is highly intelligent. He easily devises intricate plots and has demonstrated remarkable skills as a mechanical designer.
Throughout the series, Beck builds his own megadeus from scratch, collaborates on the design of another, and creates an exact working replica of Roger's torso, head, and vocal cords. His expertise is so renowned that Alex Rosewater specifically seeks him out to reconfigure Big Fau.
