==Physical description==

==Personality==
He is a brave and rebellious person, even when facing the fearsome Dane twins.
==Biography==
===Bound===
Because Beloc did not bow before Athos and Astrid Dane when they rode through White London, Athos takes him to the White Castle to torture him. Beloc is pinned against a metal frame, and Athos whips him before he carves a binding rune into his flesh. The specific rune Athos uses only binds Beloc's body, not his mind, so that Beloc will be fully aware of the atrocities Athos will demand of him. After Athos finishes the binding spell, Holland Vosijk informs him of Kell Maresh's arrival. Leaving Beloc strapped to the frame, Athos heads to the throne room.
The next night, Athos orders Beloc to guard the door to the throne room. When Lila Bard arrives to kill Astrid, who is inside the throne room, Beloc cuts a translation rune into his body and urges her to leave. She persists to stay though, and Beloc begs her to kill him; because of Athos' command, he cannot abandon his post and has to fight Lila.
Lila asks him how he wants to die, and Beloc asks for a quick death. While Beloc recites a prayer, Lila stabs him through the ribs, killing him instantaneously. She then lays Beloc's body on the floor and enters the throne room.

==Trivia==
* In the original draft of A Darker Shade of Magic, Beloc survived because V. E. Schwab wanted him to live. However, her editor, Miriam Weinberg, convinced her to kill him."Believe it or not (I know I have a reputation for character brutality) I wanted Beloc to live. So much that he DID survive the original draft. And then my editor made me kill him. She could tell I was pulling the punch (or rather, the blade). Sorry, guys."
