Becker is a new military guy who comes onto the team to watch their backs so that none of them get killed or eaten. Becker comes from a military family and background, and is moved from special operations to the Primeval team. Mansfield has stated that he has 'amiable friction' with Connor and he sees himself as the person who 'looks after' the team. Connor nicknames him "action man" (Episode 3.1). He has been seen to carry a combat shotgun for a lot of his appearances, though the chances he has to use it are not often as the beasts often need to be returned alive.
