Doctor Carson Beckett is a regular character in the first three seasons of Stargate Atlantis. He is the Chief Medical Officer for the Atlantis expedition.
After Beckett was killed in the third season episode, "Sunday," there was a vocal fan campaign to bring the character back[1], and Beckett returned as a clone of the original Doctor Beckett in the fourth season. He appeared in several episodes in the fourth and fifth season.
Carson Beckett is Scottish.

Common Pairings
One of the early slash pairings in Stargate Atlantis fandom was Carson Beckett/Rodney McKay.[2] The fairly friendly relationship between the characters, which existed from the pilot, and the on-screen kiss between them in the episode Duet gave fans more than enough material to work with.
Duet also showed Beckett dating Laura Cadman, and the Carson Beckett/Laura Cadman het ship was also popular with fans.
In het fic, Beckett has also been paired with Teyla Emmagan.[3]
The slash threesome of McKay/Beckett/Sheppard was popular with several Stargate Atlantis writers.[4][5]
