Ulrich Von Bek

Ulrich Von Bek is a fictional character. He and his descendants are a somewhat unique family in Michael Moorcock's works, as they function both as an aspect of his Eternal Champion and as a companion to him. The family is considered to be the current Keeper of the Holy Grail. In addition, Moorcock has rewritten several of his past novels and short stories so that character who previously had other names are now Von Beks. Thus retroactively, Von Bek has become one of the most important multiverse participants.

A Von Bek features in the following novels:

• The Warhound and the World's Pain (1981)
• The City in the Autumn Stars (1986)
• The Dragon in the Sword (1987, with Ereköse)
• The Sundered Worlds, aka The Blood-Red Game (1965, retroactively rewritten as a Von Bek)
• "The Pleasure Gardens of Felipe Sagittarius" (1965, short story, retroactively rewritten as a Von Bek)
