Adam of Beaumont

Adam of Beaumont, also known as The Beast, was the king of Beaumont between 1741 and [year Adam dies].

Early Life
Adam was born to Jean and Josette of Beaumont on August 15, 1719, in Beaumont, France. His mother, Josette, died when Adam was still young, in 1725.

Enchantress' Curse
When Adam was 11, in 1730, his fairy godmother Agatha tested his kindness, as most fairy godmothers do. She visited his castle one winter's night, disguised as a beggar woman, offering a rose in return for shelter. Much to Agatha's dismay, Adam failed the test, refusing the old woman any shelter, and as punishment, Agatha transformed Adam into a beast. She placed a curse, so that unless Adam could find true love before the deadline of ten years, then he'd be trapped in his monstrous form for eternity. As well as this, Agatha transformed most of Adam's staff into household appliances, but also gave life to many household appliances as well.

The deadline was represented by the rose Agatha had offered, which would bloom until the deadline was up. As a gift, Agatha left him a Magic Mirror, which let him see into the outside world. Over the years, Adam lost hope of freedom.

Romance With Belle
In 1740, an old man called Maurice accidentally stumbled into the castle, looking for shelter, as he was just attacked by wolves. While Adam's servants treated him well, Adam was outraged upon finding the old man there. Adam locked up Maurice in his dungeons, willing to let him starve to death. The next day, Maurice's daughter, Belle, came to the castle looking for her father. Adam initially refused to release Belle, but Belle promised to trade her life for her father's. Adam, surprised by her selflessness, agreed to trade their lives. Maurice was set free, and Belle was given lavish quarters. Belle refused to spend any time with Adam, despite his hopes, but quickly befriended the servants.

Gaston led the mob to the castle, and a battle ensued between the castle's servants and the villagers. Gaston proceeded to kill Adam, who was on the balcony at the West Wing. Adam had given up hope, as he was convinced Belle had left, and the last petal would fall without him having found true love.

Reign of Beaumont
Adam was coronated as king of Beaumont not long after his wedding to Belle, and the king and queen ruled justly and kindly. Crime was scarce. In 1742, a daughter, Gabrielle, was born to Belle and Adam. Two years later, in 1744, another daughter was born, Suzanne. Gabrielle was next in line, and would be coronated following Adam's death, while Suzanne would be married off to the prince of another kingdom. Suzanne ended up married to the prince of Perrault, Julien.
