Beau Neville is a police detective who worked undercover as a recent gardener of Simone Lenoir and Lena Dupree's mansion.
Physical appearance[]
Beau is an adult male with a tall, thick and muscular build, with left-sided curved brown hair and hazel eyes. He wears work clothes consisting of a white tank top underneath a thick long-sleeved brick red denim shirt. His sleeves are rolled up to his biceps. Both of his shirts are tucked in his tight gray denim pants pulled up to his waist. The first button on his shirt is undone. His belt and shoes match with his hair. And he also wears dull yellow gloves.
Personality[]
Beau was initially shown to be a very grouchy and reserved individual. He was very dedicated to this job in gardening and became extremely annoyed whenever Scooby and Shaggy accidentally ruined his hard work.
However, this could be a cover-up on his end. As his main duty was to seek answers on the mysterious disappearances that had been happening in the island, it is likely he was more focused in "digging up evidence". He seemed to consider the Mystery gang a hindrance to his objectives.
Despite the suspicion in which the Gang initially held him, Beau maintained a sense of integrity as a police officer, warning Velma about the quicksand, and attempting to assist the gang when they were being mysteriously levitated.
Outside of his duties as a detective, Beau seems to enjoy poetry, even reciting a piece he'd composed to Velma.
History[]
Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island[]
In order to investigate the strange disappearances in Moonscar Island, Beau went undercover, disguised as a gardener working under Simone and Lena. However, the Mystery gang's arrival increased his frustrations, with the first encounter involving Scooby and Shaggy to accidentally ruin the flowerbeds he just set up, forcing him to fix the damage they have caused.
Scooby and Shaggy would eventually run into Beau again, after escaping from their first encounter of Morgan Moonscar's zombie. Investigating a grave where Scooby and Shaggy discovered Moonscar's remains, the gang eventually labelled Beau as a potential suspect.
Later that night, during dinner time, Beau would be patrolling out in the dark, presumably to continue investigating. Scooby and Shaggy would eventually encounter more zombies in the bayou. After barely escaping, they would run into Beau and find him as a shadowy, zombie-like figure (although this is from the lighting in Beau's lantern).
Feeling more suspicious towards Beau, the gang decided to keep a close eye on him, with Velma staying by his side while searching for Scooby and Shaggy. Beau and Velma would eventually reunite with Fred and Daphne as they head back to mansion to check on Lena, after hearing her screaming.
As Beau and the gang returned to the mansion, they found Lena down a secret passage under the mansion. Lena leads them to the passage, where it is revealed to be a trap set up by Lena and Simone. Witnessing the two attacking the gang with voodoo dolls, Beau attempted to stop them, only to become quickly immobilized when they unleashed a voodoo doll of himself.
Just as Beau and the rest of the gang were about to have their life forces drained by Simone and Lena (who turned into cat creatures), Scooby and Shaggy arrived at the scene to temporarily distract them. With the help from the Gang, Beau is eventually set free from his own voodoo doll, and proceeded to protect Scooby and Shaggy from the cat creatures, while attempting to confront the cat creatures with a torch, with no avail.
Eventually, the time for the life draining ritual expired, and the cat creatures started to disintegrate and turn to dust.
The gang, recounting the supernatural occurrence they just experienced, wondered what they can tell the police. Beau then presents his police badge to the gang, revealing himself as an undercover detective who had come to work as a gardener to investigate the island disappearances. However, he also shares the same sentiment with the gang on how he can explain this whole ordeal to his superiors. Daphne, however, is thrilled (because she had a witness to prove what she and the others saw that night), and asks him to be a guest on her TV show.
Later on in the morning as they depart from the island, Beau recites an enchanting poem to Velma, which leaves her awestruck. While he's flattered by her reaction, he confessed he'd like to write detective novels. Velma says she's always been fond of a good detective—novel and told him about the bookstore she ran (which specializes in mystery novels), which impressed him.

Notes/trivia[]
- In the book Scooby-Doo! Scooby...Don't!, a holographic image is included on each page. On one of its pages, it showed a hologram of Beau, and when turned, his head would turn into a skull.
- As Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island featured the first time the Mystery Inc. had to confront against supernatural villains (the werecats), Beau most likely fulfills the role as the police officer the gang calls in after apprehending the main culprits and solving the mystery.
- Beau is the only major character from Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island who was not referenced in Scooby-Doo! Return to Zombie Island.
