This is an attempt to capture for reference a character paper snapshot of the character James Donald Beam, a major character in the Multiverser novels who debuts in Garden of Versers and continues his story in Versers Versus Versers and Re Verse All.  This character sheet includes everything that is confirmed about him, plus a few extrapolations, in those books, and thus represents him as he is at the end of the sixth Multiverser novel.

The picture is a photo of the player on whom the character was based; it's not completely accurate, but it will suffice.

To assist the referee, most entries include at least one coded reference to a chapter or chapters in which the item is mentioned; thus by cross-referencing with the story you can determine the details.  The chapters are identified by which character's story is being told, and thus most of those here begin with "Be"; this is followed by a three-digit number indicating the chapter number for that character, not the chapter number for the book.  Thus if you want to find the first reference to his cigarettes, you read here that it appears in Be001, and on the index page for the fifth novel you search for the text "Beam 1" and that will take you to the link for that chapter.  Obviously the chapters beginning "Ko" are Joe's story,and thus "Kondor", those beginning "Ha" are Lauren's story, and thus "Hastings", those beginning "Sl" are Bob's story, "Slade", those beginning "Br" are Derek's story, "Brown", and those beginning "Ta" are the new character Tomiko "Takano".

• The first novel ends with Kondor 41, Slade 42, and Hastings 43.
