=== Personality ===
Drake has willingly shredded the bulk of his "humanity". He is unforgiving and will stop at nothing to further his own selfish ambitions. Through all of his hardships in life he has come to the conclusion that all mortals are essentially weak, corruptible beings and he will take any opportunity he can to prove it. Beyond his generalized dislike for, well, practically everyone, there are those who rank supreme on his "hate list", should he have one: Kender (very annoying creatures, indeed.), Elves, Orc-kind, and the Drow.
Time has only helped to reinforce Drake's belief that one is only defined by his own strength. In his eyes, magic is a tool borrowed from the gods, Drake considers practitioners of the art as weak, since they do not rely on their own ability. However, that does not deter him from using mages in his schemes. Though, Drake himself does not use magic, he has been known to wield artifacts and weapons empowered by it.
As rare as it may be, Drake has indeed made allies throughout his quests. The sum of which could easily be counted on one hand, notable characters include: Cassius Di'Courra, his first partner when he chose the path of a mercenary-assassin. Gekras Akasha, the fallen prince of Lerhyn. Pamina Calidon, "the Desert Rose".
=== History ===
Work in progress.
=== Equipment ===
"Elfuhrnace": A two-handed sword, overall length 42 inches. Drake's sword was forged and artificed from one of the deadliest artifacts ever known; the Scythe of Slaughter. The weapon properties include a faint red glowing effect, its nearly indestructible and keeps its edge. Only Evil-aligned characters can wield the sword without its curse afflicting them. (I will write out its details in more depth in the near future.)
Common Dagger: Used as a weapon and tool, usually fastened to his belt.
Bracers: Located on each forearm, sandwiched between hard leather are two lengths of chain mail. Acting as a quick defense to less severe strikes.
=== Skills / Abilities ===
Swordplay: Due to his extensive collective training in swordsmanship, Drake is a master of the art. He is capable of wielding various blades to their fullest potential.
Knives: A good warrior must be prepared for anything. During Drake's years as a mercenary he found the subtle approach was often the best, especially when it came to assassinations. As such, he is quite proficient in the use of knives and daggers.
Unarmed combat: While Drake is much less dangerous without a sword or knife, he is not harmless. Due to his physical training and vast experience in battle, Drake can still put up a fight without the use of weapons. Mostly through the use of grappling and to a lesser degree, martial arts.
Limited Telepathy: A freak accident that occurred when Cassius and Drake were disposing of an eccentric alchemist, they both gained the ability to communicate with one another through their thoughts alone. Since then, Drake has expanded on this ability, he can now communicate with any willing participant.
