Expositor Beauregard Lionett is a human monk of the Cobalt Soul and a member of the Mighty Nein. She is played by Marisha Ray.
Appearance
Beauregard is a young woman of short to average height with a well-defined muscular body. She has blue eyes, a medium-brown skin tone, and long dark brown hair shaved into an undercut and tied as a topknot, with a strand hanging to one side of her face. She wears multiple gold and green piercings in her ears, left eyebrow, and left nostril. Beau wore a jade necklace given to her by her father until she gave it to her brother in " Home is Where the Heart Is " (2x92).
As of her second official portrait, set around the time the Mighty Nein were in Xhorhas, Beau has a vertical scar over her left eye, as well as a large scar in the top left area of her abdomen. As of " Titles and Tattoos " (2x84), Beau has a jade green filigreed tattoo beginning at her upper back and extending up the back of her head. The tattoo is based on Mollymauk's All-Seeing Eye tarot card and is similar to his own tattoo. She later received some "dope scars" from being chomped by an albino tyrannosaurus on Rumblecusp.
Debut
At the start of the campaign, Beau wore baggy clothes and monk vestments in shades of blue and gray. She had a blue sash around her belt with embroidered script from the Cobalt Soul written on the interior in the backside. Her long dark-brown hair was tied into a topknot. While in Zadash, she customized her long sleeveless coat to be able to turn it inside out, having it cobalt blue on one side and a normal brown on the other. She later acquired brown-black, jagged leather boots embedded with studs with two spikes at the tip, as well as a set of studded leather glove-like gauntlets. During her time in Felderwin, she also bought a belt with extra pockets to store her money in.
Xhorhas
After reaching Rosohna, Beauregard dramatically changed her wardrobe to include a blue sleeveless coat that originally belonged to Avantika, as well as a skin-tight dark blue ensemble with golden accents. Her hair had grown and been restyled into a combination of a topknot and a ponytail. She later started wearing a thin gold circlet with a green gem fixed in the center, wrapped in leather and braided into her hair.
Expositor
Due to her official promotion to Expositor, Beau received a new uniform to match her new status, similar to what she wore previously, but far more detailed. It consisted of a piece of brocaded fabric covering her shoulders, crossing over her chest in a V shape and coming to an end at the front of her waist, tied with a slate grey belt ending in a cobalt blue gradient. The garment was made to be worn over her clothes.
Eiselcross
In preparation for the bitter cold of Eiselcross, Beau acquired heavy boots, grey baggy pants and a gray fur-lined vest from the Cobalt Soul. She also acquired a pin with the symbol of Ioun and began wearing her new expositor belt. Her hair had grown longer still, and she wore it in a combination of a topknot and long braid.
After reading from Lucien's cursed tome, Beau had a dream from the Somnovem and became marked with one of the same red eye tattoos as Molly/Lucien, on the back of her left hand. She later received another dream, and a second eye appeared on the back of her neck, fully obscuring the eye of her jade tattoo. The third eye appeared just above her sternum. During the course of the final battle against Lucien, she ended up with two more eyes in undisclosed locations. Upon his final defeat, all five red eyes vanished from her body.
843 PD Beauregard's clothing style hadn't changed much, still favoring blue hues and exposed arms and stomach. Her hair, however, had started graying prematurely.
Personality
Marisha described Beau as a simple girl with simple needs. Beau's attitude towards other people can be summed up as "do whatever you want, but if it fucks with my shit, we're going to have issues."
Beau has few concerns when it comes to violence, having demonstrated a willingness and, occasionally, an eagerness to harm others if it serves her interests. This aggressive attitude, along with her general dislike of authority figures, put her at odds with her superiors in the Cobalt Soul. This attitude has extended to other party members who tried to commandeer a situation.
Despite having above-average Charisma, Beau is particularly abrasive in ordinary social interactions, frequently coming off as insulting when she tries to give compliments and straining credulity when she attempts to be polite. In order to improve her social skills, Fjord suggested that she smile more, but due to Beau's usual hostility, her smiles tend to come off as either unsettling or extremely disingenuous. In higher-stakes dealings with strangers she frequently peppers her speech with lies—she is better at deception than persuasion—sometimes with positive results.
She is intelligent (much more so after getting a Headband of Intellect) and talented at investigating, but with unlucky streaks. She is knowledgeable about history (a testament to her Cobalt Soul training), and though she often downplays it as "just something she happened to learn while doing so-and-so," she keeps thorough notes. Beau is ambivalent about learning: she acts dismissive of nerdy book studies, but she privately studies and is hungrier for knowledge than she is willing to admit even to herself.
Beau was one of the first of the Mighty Nein to come out of her shell and consider herself a true friend to them, saying she would lay down her life for them.
Beau gained the meta nickname "The Disaster Lesbian" due to how often her flirtations with other women failed to succeed. Notably, she called Expositor Dairon "very attractive" as soon as she saw the elf without their concealing cloak, she made near constant advances on Yasha early in the campaign, and she has expressed romantic interest in Jester. Later she admitted this crush being "transferred" towards Jester because she was fun and easy to fall in love with. After Yasha's return, Beau's flirting was reciprocated, and she admitted to Fjord that she's always had a thing for Yasha that was "something of more sustenance, that is not as fleeting" as her feelings towards Jester. Beauregard's hiring of a female courtesan at The Landlocked Lady in " Converging Fury " (2x27) and her sleeping with Keg in " The Journey Home " (2x30) and Reani in " Refjorged " (2x76) showcase her attraction to the same sex. That said, though, Beau often saw herself having intimate relations with other women as being a "band-aid". And according to Marisha's second playlist for Beau, a lot of those "disastrous" vibes she gives off are a front designed to hide how utterly terrified she is of ending up alone, and that she's been lucky in lust yet unlucky in love.
Background
Beauregard's parents, Thoreau and Clara Lionett, were in the wine-making business in Kamordah. Beau was made to manage the bookkeeping. As the winery's most frequent customers were halflings, Beau learned the Halfling language as a result.
She mentioned to Bo "The Breaker" that her name was Beauregard because her parents wanted a son.
Beau thought little of her father as she grew up. Although Thoreau was not violent, she found him "standoffish and distant" and his paranoia, born from his conversation with Isharnai, led to him restricting her freedoms and underestimating her capabilities. Possibly out of a desire for revenge or an attempt to force her parents to notice her, Beau began to steal and resell his wine at a mark-up. This led to her committing other crimes, including extortion and trafficking. While playing a game of chance with Molly, Beau revealed the best lie she ever told was when, not liking a politician and his wife in the town she grew up in, she worked as a house hand for them as a means to dig up dirt on them. She found out that they were each cheating on each other, causing them to break up when she exposed the information. One of Beau's criminal associates was a woman named Tori, whom she was also romantically involved with. When Beau and Tori were arrested together, Beau's father Thoreau Lionett attempted to bribe Tori to agree never to see Beau again, and when Tori refused, had her sent to Zadash for trial and punishment. He told Beau that he had paid Beau's bail but not Tori's, and Beau never learned what happened to Tori after that.
After her father discovered her bootlegging and criminal activity, he sought out and bribed an archivist of the Cobalt Soul to arrange for the "kidnapping" of his own daughter, unwilling to give her the attention she craved and unable to cope with the embarrassment and misfortune caused by her acting out. Beau described him slapping her, right before she was dragged away. Beau hadn't questioned this arrangement and was unaware as to the extent of her father and Zenoth's dealings, having merely assumed that the Cobalt Soul was as corrupt as any other organization. She remained unaware of the truth behind her illegal induction into the Cobalt Soul until three years later.
Six months into her tenure as an initiate, Clara sent her a letter saying she and her husband had been "granted their greatest wish and had a son": Thoreau Lionett Jr. Beau herself took the letter to mean her parents no longer wanted any contact with her. She assumed they were no longer going to pay the Cobalt Soul to train her and thought she would be doing the monks a favor by leaving. And so she did so, abandoning the Valley Archive to pursue her own ends.
Pre-stream
Traveling along the Amber Road, Beau met Jester and Fjord already traveling together and joined them about a day before meeting the rest of the group. On their way to study magic at the Soltryce Academy in Rexxentrum, the trio saved the daughter of Rinaldo (a fisherman in Trostenwald) from a giant snake. They also did a job involving moving boxes for the Baumbach family. Something happened during the job that caused Beau to form a grudge against them. [citation needed]
Archivist Zeenoth
Beauregard's father paid him to take her in, teach and train her in the disciplines and lifestyle of Cobalt Soul and the ways of the Knowing Mistress. Beau does not seem to have respected him or his authority during the time he was her teacher.
Despite those bumps in the road, their relationship had improved greatly as Beau learned to embrace the lessons taught to her by Dairon and her own intellectual and emotional maturity. This change in their dynamic came to a head after the attack on the Valley Archive that almost resulted in his death as well as her promotion to Expositor after which she openly apologized for her past abrasiveness, shocking those present including those who wouldn't have expected Beau to do such a thing. Since then, the two monks have had a more amicable relationship, no hard feelings between them despite the time the Mighty Nein traipsed into the Archive on horseback to use the teleportation circles and the following shenanigans leaving him a very flustered and nervous wreck.
This was not meant to last, however, as her past suspicions about him later proved to be justified upon learning of his corruption and his acceptance of Thoreau's bribes by Yudala Fon, on top of other illegal activities that the archivist had done. This forever burned that bridge between them, as Beau eventually stood and testified against Zeenoth in court after the events in Eiselcross transpired.
Caduceus Clay
Beau is impressed by Caduceus's calming presence and ability to remain calm under pressure. However, she was one of the first members of the party to notice that Caduceus was perhaps not quite as content as he may seem, mentioning to Jester that he was "kind of a hot mess who might need help sometimes."
Caleb Widogast
Caleb and Beauregard are very good friends. Although their relationship had a rocky start, they quickly came to rely on each other and eventually grew very close. The two are also the dedicated researchers of the group and will team up when trying to solve a problem.
Being the only two Empire-born human citizens in the Mighty Nein, Caleb and Beau have a rather unique friendship among the group, and have a lot in common. Although Beau is much more expressive and confrontational, they share a similar awkwardness in social situations. They were both raised in the Dwendalian Empire, but think it is a flawed nation and want to actively make things better for the people of the Empire, especially if it means dismanteling the current power structure. They also share a sharp analytical mind and vast general knowledge, especially when it comes to history.
Beau was one of the first people to hear about Caleb's past, and never shared his secret until he was ready to do so himself. Caleb has shown trust in Beauregard numerous times by chosing to hang onto her shoulder while his senses were transfered into his companion, Frumpkin. Beauregard has called Caleb her best friend, and Beauregard is probably the person Caleb trusts most after Veth.
Expositor Dairon
The expositor was specially called in by Archivist Zeenoth to help find Beauregard, whereupon Dairon released Archivist Zeenoth from any responsibility concerning Beau's teaching. Dairon then trained Beauregard in the monk tradition of the Way of the Cobalt Soul late at night within a warehouse belonging to the Baumbauch Family Brewery.
Beau seems to admire Dairon's skills and showed concern for her when the party found out how far into the Empire the war had moved while they were at sea. Beau wants to impress Dairon. She proudly told Dairon that the Mighty Nein have done good things and she herself has found lots of good information. Beau takes Dairon's advice to heart.
When the Mighty Nein first encountered the Beacon, Beau suggested turning it over to the Cobalt Soul, believing them to be more trustworthy than the Dwendalian Empire. However, between finding the artifact and her next conversation with Dairon, after learning how powerful the Beacon is, Beau did not tell Dairon about it. Her reasons for keeping the Beacon secret from Dairon were unknown.
As Beau's skills improved and her overall self evolved and matured, Dairon had grown so proud of their pupil for taking a stand against corruption, thus prompting Beau's promotion to Expositor which was later made official upon their reunion in Zadash some time later.
It was later revealed that Dairon had personally investigated her protegé's claims about being kidnapped, and sussed out Archivist Zeenoth as the culprit who along with Thoreau Lionett orchestrated Beau's illegal "acquisition" and forced tutelage. The archivist was subsequently arrested. Dairon would later eventually act as the prosecutor in the subsequent trial, with Beau's testimony sealing Zeenoth's fate.
Initially Dairon had a strong prejudice against the Kryn, born from personal history and being subject to Empire propaganda. That changed dramatically due to Beau's own insistence that her mentor see the forest for the trees as well as being behind enemy lines for so long. Dairon grew to understand that the Kryn at their core are just trying to make a living and survive in a time of conflict, not unlike the Empire.
Fjord
Beau met Fjord, along with Jester, about a day before the rest of the party. The trio fought a snake together before the events of the first episode. Beau and Fjord seemed to have already established some trust and rapport as both are laid back, though Fjord tends towards being charming (if, at times, disingenuous) while Beau, in contrast, is blunt and outspoken. They seem to be the "go-getters" of the group when it comes to making contacts and steering the direction of The Mighty Nein. Fjord coaches Beau in improving her social skills. She often asks him for notes and suggestions for improvement after negotiating with someone.
Beau caught on to Fjord misleading the party about his dreams and his accent, but it doesn't seem to bother her that he might be keeping secrets.
Fjord and Beau further bonded over managing the Balleater after Beau became his First Mate in " The Stowaway ".
Beau had mentioned to Fjord that she looks up to him and had thoughts about sailing the seas together after finishing up with the Mighty Nein, although this plan eventually fizzled out.
Jester Lavorre
Jester and Beauregard are close friends. They agree on most things and have similar spontaneous trouble maker personalities. They also both grew up in a rich but lonely household and can relate to each other on multiple aspects. Even when they had just met, Beau and Jester had a lot of chemistry, bouncing jokes off of each other and backing the other's sometimes questionable decisions. When the Mighty Nein have booked rooms in inns and taverns throughout their journey, Beau and Jester made a habit of rooming together, and even share a room in the Xhorxhaus. Beau is highly protective of Jester, but has stressed to anyone who doubts Jester's physical capabilities that she can protect herself. The two of them always support and look out for each other.
Although Beauregard initially had a sisterly relationship with Jester, she eventually developed a crush on the tiefling. Their friendship remained unchanged, however, and as Beauregard's relationship with Yasha evolved, she shifted her romantic interests towards the barbarian. Jester has never indicated that she was aware of the crush, and has always been very enthusiastic about Beauregard and Yasha's relationship.
Keg
Beau frequently impressed Keg with her skills, leading to frequent comments of "Keg is aroused." As part of the ongoing joke, Beau flipped the comment and admitted to being aroused by Keg in " The Stalking Nightmare " (2x29). After they slew Lorenzo, she asked Keg to spend the night with her, an offer which Keg accepted.
Nila
Nila met Beau after witnessing their first fight with Lorenzo. She offered the group some needed moral support and said that in her tribe, the spirits of the deceased go back into the surrounding nature. Therefore, the spirit of Mollymauk would always be around and watching over them. This sentiment was very comforting to Beau, as it meant that he was never truly gone. While in the lair of the Iron Sheperds, Beau told Nila to escape with her family before the slavers came back. Nila reluctantly agreed with her, and told Caduceus that the Guitao Tribe would make their way to the Blooming Grove to protect the area.
Mollymauk Tealeaf
Beau and Molly had an interesting relationship. Beau's natural suspicion of people combined with Molly's flamboyant lies and deflection caused friction at first, but after Molly's backstory reveal Beau admitted to liking him better. The two got high together off the skein they bought in Trostenwald, and their relationship had become less antagonistic. At the Harvest Close Festival, Beau used the two wooden swords Nott won to impersonate Molly, and after Beau drank numerous half-empty mugs of leftover alcohol from a bar, Molly called her a "trash person", but paradoxically not in an insulting manner.
After Molly's death, Beau displayed a new tenderness towards her fallen companion, speaking in particular about how she doubted his "leave things better than you find them" attitude at first, but eventually grew to understand it. She also later had Orly give her a tattoo of the all-seeing eye on the back of her neck, matching the one that Molly had.
Veth Brenatto
Beau and Nott have had a slow warming up to one another, largely due to their mutual friendship with Caleb. Nott seems impressed by Beau's Cobalt Soul status, thinking she is a cool secret agent. The three of them share the bond of having family in the Dwendalian Empire.
Beau is impressed with Nott's bravery and resilience facing her fear of water, especially after learning Nott had been drowned in her previous life.
Nott was the first person who Beau confided in about her crush on Jester.
When the Mighty Nein found Isharnai, Beau was the first to offer a deal in exchange for Nott's curse being lifted. She offered to give up every accomplishment she'd achieved and every shred of happiness she'd found, and go into exile away from both her blood family and her found family. She had made up her mind to go through with the deal before Jester successful tricked Isharnai into breaking the curse.
Beau and Nott maintained a friendly rivalry, especially after the latter was restored to her true halfling form of Veth Brenatto. Veth, in her own sneaky ways, caught on to the nurturing bond of love between the monk and Yasha. While playfully teasing at first, Veth eventually gave Beau advice in preparation for the latter's date with the barbarian, saying that she should plan a moment where she can be honest and open and vulnerable, and be "likable". Beau took this advice to heart and eventually she and Yasha confessed their feelings to each other.
Yasha Nydoorin
Beauregard and Yasha are lovers. Because Yasha is very reserved, and left the party often, their relationship took a while to develop past Beauregard's initial one-sided attraction. However, they have grown much closer, sharing playful moments, watching each other's backs and teaming up in battle. They have a lot of admiration for each other.
Beau has been attracted to Yasha and flirted with her since they met, but backed off out of respect when she learned Yasha was still mourning her wife, Zuala. After much time, as Yasha showed signs of having moved on and being open to a new relationship, the two began flirting openly. Every member of the Mighty Nein seems aware and supportive of their mutual affection, especially Jester, who has talked privately to both of them about their romantic interests and has tried to push them towards each other. After Yasha gave Beauregard a letter to tell her what she admires and loves about her, and that she feels safe knowing Beau's watching her back, Beau read it one late night in Caleb's Tower. Beau then started to plan a way to respond, eventually stopping Yasha on their way to stealing an ancient relic, and asked her out on a date to which the barbarian accepted, much to Beau's relief. The date finally occurred within the Nein-Sided Tower, fully renovated as per Beau's extensive instructions. Having the night to themselves, they bared themselves openly - heart, body, and soul - to each other, consummating their long anticipated relationship with kisses, ninja dogs... and confessions of love. And they have remained together ever since, settling down in Rexxentrum. After some time they got married, and they were in a sincere relationship, even being willing to speak about boundaries and redefining its terms, were the both of them be interested in doing so.
Reani
Though Beau seemed hesitant about Reani's perky attitude at first, she, like the rest of the Nein, grew to like and accept Reani. Back at the Cinderrest Sanctum after their win against Gelidon and the Tumblecarves, a slightly drunk and nervous Reani attempted to give Beauregard a rose. Instead of taking it, Beau pulled Reani in for a kiss, and the two walked away to spend some unspecified time alone. After this, Beau promised to come back and visit Reani, who seemed excited at the prospect of her returning.
Thoreau Lionett
Beau has had an antagonistic relationship with her father. Though he trained her to take over the family business, she describes herself as a disappointment to him, and they often fought. Beau began by being accepting of her role as her father's heir and wanting to do well in it. She wanted to expand their business, traveling with their product, but he felt this would put her and his legacy in danger. Beau was desperate for attention from her parents, so she stole her father's wine and sold it on the black market. After her eventual arrest for her criminal activities, Thoreau bailed her out of jail, then bribed Archivist Zeenoth of the Cobalt Soul to take her away, slapping her when she resisted. When Beau eventually returned to Kamordah, Thoreau looked as though he had seen a ghost. He told Beau that he was proud of her achievements and admitted he made mistakes with her and he didn't show her he loved her. He attributed his "missteps" to her not being an easy child to deal with, and having had a bad father himself. He told her "Don't think for any moment your mother and I haven't loved you from the depths of our hearts this entire time. I'm sorry if we didn't show it properly." Beau felt he had not admitted his own faults nor apologized for his actions, which ultimately eliminated any chance of her granting him forgiveness. When he discovered she was going to see the hag of his past, and that she had given her jade necklace to TJ, he dashed off to get Clara's jade necklace, giving it to Beau for protection. Beau left the encounter in tears.
Thoreau's reckoning would eventually come when his deal with Zeenoth was brought to light. Beau's testimony against her father and the archivist exposed their crime and forever ruined their reputations. And in their last meeting, she took off her expositor pin and put it into his palm with the words "Give this to TJ for me." She didn't look back to him as he was dragged out of the courtroom.
Clara Lionett
Beau's mother came from a wealthy family, and Thoreau built a fortune in order to prove himself worthy to her family. She was more sympathetic and empathetic to Beau than her father, but did not stand up to Thoreau on Beau's behalf. Clara seemed glad to see Beau upon her return to Kamordah, and was willing to give her anything she asked for, including a rare and expensive wine which Thoreau would have held back. She apologized to Beau for the past, though was silent when Beau asked if she knew she was pregnant before sending Beau away. Before leaving, Beau told Clara: "You're allowed to have an opinion too, Mom". Beau gets her blue eyes from her mother.
Beau's testimony against her father would eventually give Clara the realization that Thoreau had kept her in the dark the whole time as well as the impetus to leave him, taking her son with her.
Thoreau Junior
Beau's brother was born about six months after she was taken away by the Cobalt Soul. Upon meeting Beau for the first time, "TJ" embraced her warmly, and she gave him the jade necklace Thoreau had given her.
Imogen Temult
Despite the initial hostility between them they agreed to work together in the Red Center. Later, Beau admitted to Yasha that she found the sorcerer attractive.
Quests
Beau was sent into the world as an Expositor of the Cobalt Soul with the general directive to root out truth and expose corruption. She has embraced this calling to the point where she has made it a personal matter in regards to the Somnovem, citing it as a corruption of the most obscene nature. She would later devote herself to the Soul full-time as part of a task force dedicated to undermining and dismantling the Cerberus Assembly, a "lifelong pursuit" she embarks on with Caleb.

- Ulog: "[...] What's your skill sets, if I might ask, beyond just being curious?"
Beauregard: "I consider being curious a pretty high skill set, but since you're asking beyond that. I'm pretty good with this here bo. Pretty good fighter. Named Beau. It's a little redundant, to be totally honest."
Ulog: "That's a little strange, not going to lie."
Beauregard: "It's kind of obnoxious. Sometimes it irritates me."
Ulog: "A curse upon ye who made that decision for you."
Beauregard: "Can't pick 'em." (properly introducing herself to Ulog of the Knights of Requital.) - "I hate the color yellow."
- "Look, I have worked with some skeevey motherfuckers in my day, very unsavory types. But you know what I trust? That they have their own self-preservation, right? So I can trust that these motherfuckers don’t want to get caught, and that they don't want to die at the end of the day. If you want to do something skeevey on the side, let me know, I will help you out. But when we are all working as a team, I don’t want your actions to get me in fucking trouble."
- "It is an atrocity to leave alcohol on a table." (Beau's explanation to Fjord and Molly about why she is finishing everyone else's drinks at the party.)
- "Did you just put a hooker on layaway?"
- Molly: (to Beau, after he hears her story of ruining a politician in her hometown) "You are a good friend to have and a terrible enemy to make."
- (to Lorenzo right after he kills Molly) "You should know, I have no respect for authority."
- "Long may he reign." (Beau's last words to Molly)
- "Who the fuck is Traci?!" (to Fjord after flirting with a Zhelezo guard)
- "I feel bad. I've treated people like shit my whole life. And... I don't know. Having one transformative moment doesn't mean that you're immediately going to be a different person overnight and being better is something you have to work at, I guess."
- "I've driven most people in my life away from me. Hearing him talk like that, it's not the first time I've heard those things, and I don't want to drive you guys away. I don't want us to drive each other away." (after hearing Caduceus consider leaving the Mighty Nein)
- Plank King: "I have to say, for someone so small, you've got some serious balls."
Beau: "Thanks. That's not the first time I've heard that."
Plank King: "And if you survive, I'm sure it won't be the last." (after Beau claims to have evidence of Avantika planning a coup against the Plank King.) - "You have sixty seconds, but I have more knuckles." (after using Extort Truth on Avantika)
- Beau: "Sorry again for being a dick. I think I've been a little on edge with the boat."
Fjord: "It's all right. I'm kind of immune now. I just take it."
Beau: "It's really just a knee-jerk. It would've happened if it was anybody. You could've been a scarecrow, and I would've been like 'Fuck off, bro!'" - "Sorry I found your cuteness alarming." (Parting apology to Twiggy)
- "I guess it's easier to pretend like you don't care." (during a conversation with Jester about her actual relationship with Dairon)
- "Don't run. You can say you don’t believe in anything, and that’s fine… Believe in us just a little bit?" (spoken to Caleb in a softer and more earnest tone than normal to convince him to open up to the party)

- (to Fjord) "I feel like I've found my family with the Mighty Nein. I don't like looking at my past, because it doesn't have the Mighty Nein in it."
- "I'll walk away from all of it, everything that I've worked really hard to get. This family, my old family, my new brother, my position. I've achieved more than I thought I ever would, richer than I ever thought I would, more skilled than I ever thought I would. I don't know what's left, past this, anyway. Maybe I've peaked, you know."
- "We're protective of you, and defensive of you. We're here because of Jester, not because of the Traveler Con. Honestly... all you have to do is say the word, and we'll do whatever you want. It's always been the case. But... Also, if he hurts you, I'll kill him. You know? Like... we've killed demigods before. We're about to kill one. We could kill him, too." (Beau's declaration of protection to Jester regarding the Traveler)
- "Last time I went through a complicated breakup, someone ended up in prison."
- "This is all I have is the Mighty Nein. To the point of where I was so desperate to control the situation of how I theoretically lost you all by attempting to sacrifice myself to that hag. Because... I guess I thought if I could control the way that this ended, even if it's as innocuous as growing apart, that might be less painful. Because even the thought of simply becoming distant means that that would be the second family that that would have happened to with me, so... I'm all in."
- Beau: (about Yasha, to Jester) "Do you think she's into me?"
Jester: "I think she's so into you. I'm going to assume from you asking that you have not kissed her yet."
Beau: "No. I feel like the ball's in her court, 'cause she's the one with the dead wife." - Beau: "I'm kind of at a point where I've achieved a lot of my larger goals. Now I'm just following open doors."
- Beau: "Do you know that feeling where, um, you didn’t know something was wrong until someone told you, and you just lived with it this whole time? I’m relieved but also reckoning with it at the same time."
- (Beau talks to Yasha about their first meeting at the circus.) "It's interesting you talking about Molly being this burst of color in your monochromatic life, because part of the reason you stood out like a sore thumb is because you were this black and white and gray monochromatic vision amongst this fairytale of color."
- Beau: (To Yasha, during their date) "When I was in Kamordah, that fear of losing this family, I almost sabotaged it just so that I wouldn't have to deal with the angst and the anguish of wondering if and when and how this family will fall apart, like ripping off a bandaid that was never there, I guess over a wound that was never there. Just tried to rip it off for the pain, and nothing else."
- Beau: (To Yasha, during their date) "Sorry, babe. Gotta handle these ninjas."
- Beau: (upon reflecting on their final battle, realizing the reality of what just transpired) "We may be heroes that no one knows about, but we know."
- (Beau trying to convince Astrid not to kill Trent) "Astrid, these institutions of power that go without being checked, they reside in secrecy. They are breeding grounds for corruption. If you kill him, it'll just look like another senseless act of violence without any recourse. If we expose him, he is raked across the coals of the court of the public. The only way to keep from these cycles of abuse from continuing to happen is to tell the story."
