Matchup & timing
Treat Beaumont as a Circle of Ossus campaign antagonist whose importance depends on the mission and final confrontation. Scout the approach and protect the units required by the objective before committing to attack him. His listed hero statistics are scenario-specific and should not be used as a trainable civilization unit profile.
Act III antagonist and mission appearances
Pierre Beaumont is the main antagonist of Act III: Steel. He first appears in Hold the Fort and remains the target through Payback. His background presents him as a French trapper whose past and accent are deliberately uncertain; in the campaign he is also a Circle of Ossus agent. He lures Amelia’s expedition toward his mine claim in The Boneguard’s Lair, where Ká:nien reappears, then continues to oppose her in later missions. Beaumont ultimately dies at Amelia’s hands. His hero unit has 1,000 hit points, 75% hand resistance, 5.0 speed and Regeneration. He can claim Treasure and recover after collapsing at zero health once he reaches the 100-hit-point revival threshold near a friendly unit or building. The mission’s enemy or scripted versions can have separate statistics, so use the 1,000-health profile only for the hero record and follow each scenario’s own unit setup.
Hero limits and the final confrontation
Beaumont’s controllable hero profile belongs to the Act III story, where Amelia’s force first meets him at his mine claim and follows his trail through later scenarios. With 1,000 hit points, 75% hand resistance and 5.0 speed, he is durable against melee pressure but still depends on his Collapse and Regeneration rule for recovery. At zero health, hold nearby friendly units until he regenerates to 100 hit points, then resume the mission. The final confrontation is narrative-specific: Beaumont’s eventual defeat closes his campaign role, while the Circle of Ossus remains active in the wider story. His hero’s Treasure-claiming ability does not make him a standard French unit or a normal skirmish recruit.
Circle of Ossus hero and mission utility
Beaumont is a hero associated with the Circle of Ossus campaign forces. His 1,000 hit points, 75% hand resistance and five speed make him durable against close attacks, while his 24-damage siege profile can contribute when a mission requires pressure on an exposed structure. He claims Treasures and regenerates, so he can support the campaign expedition between objectives. The ranged attack listing is a separate attack profile and should be read from the current scenario data rather than assumed to match a standard hero weapon. Keep Beaumont with the mission force and use the objective marker to decide when to fight or move.
Recovering a fallen campaign hero
At zero health Beaumont collapses instead of dying; once he regenerates 100 hit points, a friendly unit or building nearby can revive him. In a campaign scenario, losing the hero may interrupt access to scripted abilities or make the next objective harder, so avoid unnecessary fights. Move him away from concentrated enemy fire and give him time to regenerate before returning. The Circle’s units and buildings are scenario-specific and can change between missions; Beaumont’s presence does not mean the organization is a selectable skirmish civilization. Use the mission roster and objective text to guide his support role.
