Beauregard Tannen was a General for the Confederate Army at the Battle of Chattanooga in February 1864.
Beauregard used the term "buttocks brains" before Verne Brown corrected him to say "butthead".
Biography
The two nights before the battle with Union forces, Beauregard's men encountered Verne Brown who had stolen the DeLorean time machine and entered the past at that point. He accused Verne of being a spy, and when Verne had no answer, Tannen forced him to wear an uniform and play the drums. Little did Verne realize that the drummer boys were prime Union targets.
On the day of the battle, Beauregard led his forces, including Verne and Marty McFly towards the Union army's forces charging in their direction. Both armies were temporarily disabled by Doc Brown's large electromagnet which took their guns from them. When the machine ceased working, the battle was back on and the forces nearly clashed. Just then Jules Brown was thrown into the middle of the field and Verne clutched him. The show of affection between brothers stopped the battle. Beauregard was reluctant at first to show mercy, but eventually he made a truce with Union General Ulysses S. Clayton. After the truce, Beauregard chased the time travelers back to the train.
Sometime between 1864 and 1876, Beauregard left the Army and amassed a large sum of money.
In 1876, Beauregard moved to Hill Valley, buying a plot of land with the intention of building a salloon there. A temporaly displaced Edna Strickland set fire to the salloon, accidentally burning down the entire town in the process.
Marty and Doc travelled back to 1876 from 1931A to prevent Edna from destroying the town. After a standoff between Edna and Beauregard, Edna fled the scene, leaving Beauregard to continue running his salloon.
