Thaddeus "Thad" Beaumont was the son of Shayla and Glen Beaumont, the husband of Elizabeth Beaumont, and the father of Wendy and William Beaumont. He is the author of cerebral literary fiction, and writes gritty crime fiction under the pseudonym of George Stark. He lived in Ludlow, Maine.

Beaumont is an analogue to Stephen King himself; the dynamic between Beaumont and Stark is a dramatization of the dynamic between King and his own alter-ego Richard Bachman.
