Although Bes initially piloted the Ideo-Nova/Sol Vainer, he retires from piloting when it becomes apparent that younger pilots have more success with piloting the Ideon. Although he occasionally quarrels with Cosmo and Sheryl, Bes is well liked and respected as the leader of the Solo Ship.
Bes develops a crush on Karala immediately upon meeting her and is quick to support her, even early in the series when she is distrusted by others among the Solo Ship's crew. The two eventually fall in love and Karala becomes pregnant with Bes's child, although it is never born due to her death.
In the final battle between the surviving Solo colonists and Buff Clan, Bes remains fighting against invading squads of Buff Clan troops on board the Solo Ship. Though shot in the waist and in the neck,gradually bleeding to death,he remains the only person "alive" on the ship.
Shortly after he dies along with everyone else as the Gando Rowa's incredible power destroys the Solo Ship...
He is reunited in spirit form with Karala in the end. Their son, Messiah, leads them and the souls of everyone else to a reborn Earth.
