According to the ''[[The Ballad of Hamish Beamish]]'', Beamish aspired to become a cadet at [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]] at a young age, and embarked on a [[slipspace]] voyage to [[Circinius IV]] onboard the automated transport vessel {{UNSCShip|Jamaica}}. However, his [[cryo chamber]] malfunctioned, causing him to be thawed out in the middle of the slipspace jump a decade before the ship was to arrive at its destination. With no spare cryotubes available and with little resources at his disposal, Hamish kept himself warm by shaving and burning his own hair, and ate his own nails to not starve. Many years of such lonesome and gruelling existence left Hamish mentally disturbed. After ten years, the ship finally arrived at Circinius IV. Medics subsequently tried to rehabilitate Beamish, with little success. Finally, he was given the job of janitor at Corbulo Academy—the only work he was deemed suited | According to the ''[[The Ballad of Hamish Beamish]]'', Beamish aspired to become a cadet at [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]] at a young age, and embarked on a [[slipspace]] voyage to [[Circinius IV]] onboard the automated transport vessel {{UNSCShip|Jamaica}}.

In [[2526]], Beamish was going about his duties as Corbulo Academy's janitor in the school's [[mess hall]] when a fight broke out between two freshman cadets, [[Thomas Lasky]] and [[Walter Vickers]], with the former assaulting the latter as a response to verbal agitation by Vickers.
