Commander Beck Strongheart is a Sentinel Faction Commander NPC and the leader of the Sentinel Encampment in Avant Gardens. Beck Strongheart was contacted by Sky Lane when the Venture Explorer fell under attack by the Maelstrom. Unfortunately, as he had his hands full containing the Stromling outbreak from the Paradox Research Facility explosion, Beck was unable to send help. He did send advice, telling Sky Lane to send the escaping Minifigures to Avant Gardens via Rockets without telling them of the Maelstrom outbreak to avoid mass panic. Beck also sent Epsilon Starcracker to scout the area and help the escaping Minifigs.
