He looked down on poor citizens from the south region and was okay with enslaving them due to their lack of financial contribution to the tribute.

History
25 years ago, Bekori had recently taken the throne of Sorbet Kingdom.

22 years ago, Bartholomew Kuma protested against the Royal Army enslaving citizens from the south region. Afterwards, Bekori said that only the north region of Sorbet would be the actual kingdom, and any citizens who could not pay the Heavenly Tribute would be enslaved. Shortly after, the Freedom Fighters attacked the kingdom to liberate it, leading to one of Bekori's subjects telling him to flee. After the attack, the segregation and enslavement policies were terminated.

Six years ago, 16 years after his policies backfired, Bekori somehow managed to return to the kingdom after decades of exile and set about accomplishing his original goal once more, this time attempting to eradicate the "deadweight" by burning them in their homes. It is unknown what the result of this plan was, as Kuma eventually succeeded him as king.

Trivia

 * His name may be derived from pekori (ぺこり), which refers to the action of quickly bowing or lowering one's head, referencing Bekori's servile attitude towards the Celestial Dragons.
 * His action in burning down people home in the South of Sorbet Kingdom to kill poor people to remove deadweight to the Heavenly Tribute is similar to Goa King incinerated the entire Gray Terminal to make the kingdom looked good in the eye of the visiting World Nobles.
