Biography

Early Life

Drake was born on the planet of Corellia. There he was raised by his father, Marc and mother, Rebekah. His father was not home very often leaving his mother to be the one to raise Drake by herself. When Marc would come home he would tell Drake about his adventures, describing the planet, but never really telling him what the name of the planet was because that was classified. This caused Drakes mind to wonder filling his imagination with visions of glory as the Imperial Army dominated the weaker planet. When he was about 8 years old his mother enrolled him in one of the many schools there on Corellia trying to stop him from wanting to join the Empire. At first while he was at school he flourished, but when his mother left Marc and Drake he began to struggle. He knew that he would not be able to make it as a engineer so he quit school. Drake has no regrets from his childhood except for the fact that he never got to say goodbye to his mother, whom he still loves and remembers.

Teen Years

After Rebekah left the family Drake began wonder what he wanted to do with his life. At age 14, he knew he did not want to be one of the city engineers even though he knew math very well so he decided to begin to train with his father to one day become a mighty soldier like his father. Due to his family's wealth he had access to the best euipment and teachers. When his father was home he would teach Drake different techniques of hand to hand combat and shooting techniques. Because he was able to train for so long Drake was able to build himself into a machine of a man. He had a very large muscular build, but not so much that would make him slow because he was still very fast and agile. When Drake turned 18, he got his first tattoo which was the family emblem on his right shoulder and he also started talking with the recruiter on Corellia about enrolling in the Academy.

Service

At age 18, Drake enrolled in the Imperial Academy. After three years of studying and training he graduated with IABG and immediately enlisted in the Army. He started out as a private under LTCOl Adams and SSGT Jenan. Recently after proving his dedication to the Empire through his activity he was promoted to the rank of Coporal.
