Drake (Liberation)

Drake was a male Human who worked for The Department. He was Head of Public Order, but got involved in alien affairs. He had a cybernetic hand and a dragon-headed cane. He seems to have an evil secret agenda and is rather a man of mystery.

Career in The Department
When K9 Mark 2 tracked a Jixen warrior to Dauntless Prison he was detected by a Department Officer, Drake told him to montior it. When K9 passed the exclusion zone Drake ordered him to "Exclude it". (K9TV: Liberation)

Drake requested an update on the recent alien activity from Inspector June Turner, she declined as she was Head of the Alien Activity Section and Drake was the Head of Security, stating she didn't report to him. When Drake asked her about Information-Sharing she replied that it worked on a Need to Know basis, when she felt he needed to know something she'd share it with him. Drake then told her he would do the same. (K9TV: The Korven)

Drake decided to create a publicity stunt to boost Public Order, he had a non-explosive bomb attached to the Speed Clutch in the Control Center of a Ferris Wheel. Causing it to accelerate it, this was witnessed by Starkey and K9. Drake and several patrols of CCPCs arrived and he informed them of the situation and if they tried to stop or even slow the wheel the bomb would detonate. K9 and Starkey noticed as more and more camera arrived, Drake's true agenda. They then went to the Control room and K9 destroyed the bomb, stopping the wheel. The relieved crowd then cheered for Starkey and K9. Drake was shocked at the presence of the "Machine" and asked why June didn't inform him of K9 who he considered to be dangerous. When she argued that he could be of benefit to the Department Drake went to LOMAXX, the leader of the Department and asked his view on the matter, he replied that he would consider whose jurisdiction K9 fell under but ordered them in the meantime to keep doing what they are doing. He was then contacted by Ahab, a bounty hunter trying to capture K9 who showed him that he could subdue K9. Ahab and Drake made a deal, Drake uses the Departments CCTV devices across London to find K9 and Ahab captures him so Drake can unlock his secrets. However when Ahab and Drake found K9 he betrayed Drake, neutralised his CCPC guards and took K9 to Gryffen's house himself. (K9TV: The Bounty Hunter)

Drake then came up with a plan to have full control over the population of London using the alien substance, Cerulium. Chunks of which fell to Earth, he tested this on several Schoolgirls in the Private Acadeny. He had Cerulium Bracelets created which were influenced for the girls to get by an Android posing as a schoolgirl, Melaina. He also had an experimental device called the Inhibitor created. When a lone activist protested against CCPC violence, two CCPCs apprehended her. This angered Jorjie Turner who decided to take action and threw a stone at a CCPC. Drake then shown up as the CCPCs pursued her, Starkey and K9, he then returned to Department HQ. Drake decided to give them some disipline and ordered the CCPCs to use the Inhibitor, which the CCPCs put the Cerulium inside. As Starkey and Jorjie got behind K9, the CCPC fired the Inhibitor however it misfired, sending K9 flying and destroyed the CCPC. Drake then destroyed his Drake cane in anger. Later, when June asked Drake about the Inhibitor, Drake suggested she send Jorjie to Magdalene Academy due to her rebellious behaviour. Jorjie and Vibecka the protestor tried to remain Defiant to ignore Melaina's requests for them to join her study group, but Vibecka fell victim to the Cerulium Bracelet. Jorjie eventually fell victim to it as well when Melaina gave her a bracelet. Meanwhile the team discovered the Cerulium, when Jorjie arrive K9 noticed her weird behaviour and Cerulium Bracelet. K9 managed to blast the Bracelet off without harming her, restoring her to normal. K9 then went to Magdalene and destroyed all the other bracelets, freeing the students. When Drake realised his plan had failed, he deativated Melaina. (K9TV: Sirens of Ceres)

When an Alien entity caused fear and panic throughout London from its hiding place inside an old wardrobe in a junkyard. Drake secured the junkyard with his own private army of CCPCs, interrupting a news interview with two vagrants who trapped Darius in the wardrobe but claimed to save him from the "Huge, black creeping shadow of the dead". When Starkey,Darius,Jorjie and K9 got past the CCPCs and decided to investigate, Drake arrived. They then went to hide in the wardrobe but Darius, however was terrified and refused to go in. When he did he found himself hanging on to a bar for his life due to the bottomless pit below just as he did earlier. When they managed to get him out Drake came and asked them if they saw the alien. As the left Drake shouted at the Wardrobe saying he was not afraid of it, an alien hand then popped at the door and then back in again. The operation was disbanded by June when she was unable to find proof of the entity's existence. When Starkey was arrested by CCPCs when he investigated the wardrobe and found out it was a person's fear which made them see the hole, Drake went to him in his cell. Drake failed to make Starkey fear him, Drake started to show signs of Paranoia and suggested that Starkey was working with the alien. Starkey insisted that its Drake's fear but Drake refused to acknowledge it and ordered the CCPCs to "toss him in the gutter where he belongs". Drake decided to destroy the creature, dropping a bomb into the bottomless pit and destroying the wardrobe with his cybernetic hand. Despite this, the entity seemed to survive the attacks, but vanished soon after. (K9TV: Fear Itself)

As severe storms raged in London, June rang Jorjie (who was staying in Gryffen's house) to check if she was safe. Drake noted how she was lucky to have time for personal calls and when he asked her who she was calling, June suddenly hung up claiming it was electrical inteferance. Surprising Jorjie as that was her "trick". (K9TV: Fall of the House of Gryffen)

Drake later devised yet another scheme, this time targeting K9. He had a duplicate of K9, who he called Orthrus to frame him. When June addressed protesters outraged at the Department's introduction of microchips, they started to throw fruit. Drake then angrily ordered the CCPCs to arrest them. Orthrus then arrived and started shooting the Balloons and Banners, he then shot Drake. As June tended to Drake, he told her K9 had gone mad and that he would be happy to find out why. June then informed Jorjie of what happened, they then went to Gryffen's house. June showed them the recording of K9 shooting Drake, she suggested K9 hand himself in to make it better for himself. Starkey refused, when K9 accessed his memory he revealed he erased his alarm, conviently taking out half an hour of memory. June told Drake (who made a "speedy" recovery) of how she tried to negociate a peaceful solution which would stop a potential "bloodbath" should Drake have decided to "go in all guns blazing". As the team debated about K9, Drake had the CCPCs bring Darius (who had doubts that K9 was telling the truty) to him. Drake said he admired his "Pragmatism" meaning how he didn't pick the losing side and he wasn't easily scared, Drake then asked Darius to be his operative on the inside. While watching the recording of the attack, Jorjie noticed Drake's smug smile before he was shot. In order to provoke Darius, Orthrus came in the middle of the night and severely damaged Mariah, Professor Gryffen's sentient Car who Darius had a strong bond with. As June looked at Drake's warrant for K9's arrest she noticed an Operation: Orthrus noted. When she decided to take a look, she found out it was classified. Drake then arrived, June questioned him about how he smiled before he was shot, he replied it was due to many reasons such as courage. In the morning, Darius was shocked abd furious to find what had happened to Mariah. K9 decided that he should surrender while Starkey suggested he fight off the Department, Gryffen insisted that wasn't the right way. Drake then arrived with two CCPC's with a warrant to arrest K9. When Gryffen requested to see the warrant, Drake ordered them to move on. When Jorjie demanded to see the warrant one CCPC grabbed her arm, causing Darius to put a bucket on its head in her defense. Gryffen then wired the other one to his antique radio causing it to dance. As the kids and K9 ran Drake pulled off the bucket and blamed Gryffen, he said they were just being themselves and taunted Drake, who angrily destroyed pulled the wire off the dancing CCPC. In the cellar Darius split up with the rest to trick the CCPCS lead away, he was then met by Orthrus who shot at him. He then ran to Starkey and Jorjie saying K9 had gone mad, they didn't belive him. Orthrus then came and aimed at Jorjie, Starkey then went in front of her. As Orthrus prepared to fire, K9 realised he was framed and shot Orthrus. Orthrus prepared to fire again but K9 easily disabled him. Drake and his CCPCs then walked in, Drake was furious at the "15'000 manhours, up in smoke" and said it would give him pleasure to dissamble K9 and make him his lapdog. June then interrupted and informed him that Operation: Orthrus was not approved by the Department and was terminated, Drake refused to accept this and angrily left. (K9TV: Jaws of Orthrus)

When a UFO entered Earth's orbit, Drake ordered it to be destroyed with Orbital missles. June told him to stop as it hadn't been fully analysed and she argued it may be Spacerock. Drake however didn't tolerate tresspassers, when June askrf if they come in peace he replied "Then they leave in pieces". The ships suddenly dissapeared, Drake was shocked by this as the Computer tells him it has burnt up in the atmosphere. Later, June detected an alien prescence in the Gryffen House and called for back up, the Anubians took action against the Department and started materializing hypnotic headbands to all Department officers. Drake initated Code Red Alert and called for all agents, but fell victim to the Anubians control as well. When the crisis was resolved and the Anubians were arrested by the Department, June cheerfully said there was "no hurry" in taking the Headband off Drake. (K9TV: Curse of Anubis)

Drake then hatched a plan, he had a Medes starship along with it's two pilots captured. The ship's molecular refractor givess the ship the ability to dematerialise and with that he could use it to spy anywhere and not be seen by anyone, even by LOMAXX.The attempted replication of their technology caused pollution which leaked into the River Thames. In June's office Drake talked to a CCPC through a Department computer, who told him the Medes were withholding information they need, Drake ordered them to be more persuasive. June arrived and asked why he's here and spoke to him about his special security unit. She told him how she sent her squad to investigate possible alien activity but were turned back by Drake's unit. She warned that alien threats are above all other Department operations, and if her squad is blocked again she will inform LOMAXX. Drake was then contacted by the CCPC who tells him the aliens won't stop talking, Drake then tells June he won't "upset" her squad again. He then told her he has business to attend to and she then left. In Drake's office June found the missing schematics for a Fallen Angel on his computer. When Drake arrived she asked him his interest in the ship, he replied the entire Department wants to know where its located. When she asked him about the featured detail on the top, he replied he had no idea and told her to leave as he has business to attend to. Before she does so she warned him he best not be revealed to be in possession of the ship. Drake then contacted the CCPC who told him the aliens aren't cooperating, Drake then authorised the use of torture. The Medes attempted to communicate with K9 and the gang by using their Avatar forms to direct him to the source of the pollution through the sewers while Darius and Jorjie went to the processing factory and were captured. June then found and went to the factory. She then used her higher authorisation to shut down the project, she and the gang then went to the Department Prison and released the Medes, returning their technology and apologising for Drake's actions. They then removed the pollution from the river Thames and returned home with their spaceship.(K9TV: Alien Avatar)

After an attempt to utilise alien nanobots to dispose of waste went horribly wrong, almost resulting in the destruction of the Earth, the disgraced Drake was replaced by Inspector Thorne, the former Governor of Dauntless Prison. (K9TV: Black Hunger)

Personality
Drake had zero tolerance on any dissent and seemed to be highly devoted to the Department, however he strived to satisfy his own agenda rather than that of the Department's. Drake also had a rivalry with June Turner head of the Alien Activity section due to their arguements concerning K9 and Drake's interference in Alien Incursions. Drake had a rather dark sense of humour, as when K9 entered Dauntless Prison's exclusion he gave the order to "Exclude it". While explaining the situation of a bomb threat on a Ferris Wheel to a worried crowd he made an explosion sound. When a UFO entered Earth and he gave the order for it to be destroyed, June asked "And if they come in peace" he replied "Then they leave in pieces".
