Drake was a 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 seemed to have an evil, secret agenda and was rather a man of mystery.
Biography[]
The arrival of K9[]
When K9 Mark 2 tracked a Jixen warrior to Dauntless Prison in 2050, he was detected by a Department Officer. Drake told him to monitor it. When K9 passed the exclusion zone he ordered him to "exclude it". (TV: Liberation)
Drake requested an update on the recent alien activity from Inspector June Turner. She declined, stating she did not report to him. When Drake asked her about information sharing, she said that when she felt he needed to know something she'd share it with him. (TV: The Korven)
As a publicity stunt to boost public order. Drake had a fake bomb attached to the speed clutch in the control centre of a Ferris wheel, making it go faster. Starkey and K9 watched as Drake and several patrols of CCPCs arrived. He told the public if his forces tried to stop the wheel, the bomb would detonate. K9 destroyed the bomb, stopping the wheel. Drake asked why June didn't tell him of K9, whom he thought dangerous. When she disagreed, Drake went to Lomax, who said he would consider whose jurisdiction K9 fell under.
Drake was contacted by Ahab, a bounty hunter trying to capture K9. Drake used the Department's CCTV devices across London to find K9 for him. However when they found K9, Ahab betrayed Drake, neutralised his CCPC guards and took K9 to Gryffen's house. (TV: The Bounty Hunter)
Cerulium at Magdalene Academy[]
Drake came up with a plan for full control over the population of London using cerulium that had fallen to Earth. He tested this on several schoolgirls attending Magdalene Academy with cerulium bracelets that were offered them by an android posing as a schoolgirl, Melaina. He also had an experimental device called the Inhibitor created. When Jorjie Turner threw a stone at a CCPC, Drake decided they needed discipline and ordered the CCPCs to use the Inhibitor on them; but it misfired, destroying the CCPC. Later, Drake suggested sending Jorjie to Magdalene Academy to deal with her rebellious behaviour. K9 managed to blast the bracelets off the students. When Drake realised his plan had failed, he deactivated Melaina. (TV: Sirens of Ceres)
Facing Fear[]
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. When Starkey, Darius, Jorjie and K9 got past the CCPCs and decided to investigate, Drake arrived. They then went to hide in the wardrobe and when they got out Drake came and asked them if they saw the alien. As they left, Drake shouted at the wardrobe saying he was not afraid of it, and the alien hand then popped out of the door and 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. When Drake failed to make Starkey fear him, he started to show signs of paranoia and suggested that Starkey was working with the alien. Starkey insisted that it was Drake's fear, but he 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. However, the entity seemed to survive the attacks, and vanished soon after. (TV: Fear Itself)
Teasing June Turner[]
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 interference. (TV: The Fall of the House of Gryffen)
Framing K9[]
Drake later devised yet another scheme, this time targeting K9. He made a duplicate of K9, who he called Orthrus, to frame him. When June addressed protesters outraged at the Department's introduction of microchips, Drake ordered the CCPCs to arrest them. Orthrus arrived and caused chaos, shooting Drake. As June tended to Drake, he told her K9 had gone mad and that he would be happy to find out why. June told Drake (who made a "speedy" recovery) of how she tried to negotiate a peaceful solution as an alternative to Drake's ideal: an all-out solution that could be very bloody. Drake had the CCPCs bring Darius to him, and he asked Darius to be his inside operative. In order to provoke Darius, Orthrus came in the middle of the night and severely damaged Mariah. When Drake 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, Drake arrived with two CCPC's with a warrant to arrest K9. When Jorjie demanded to see the warrant one CCPC grabbed her arm, causing Darius to put a bucket on its head in her defence. 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 pulled the wire off the dancing CCPC. Drake and his CCPCs then walked in; Drake was furious at the destroyed Orthrus. June then interrupted and informed him that Operation: Orthrus was not approved by the Department and was terminated; he refused to accept this and angrily left. (TV: Jaws of Orthrus)
Threat of the Anubians[]
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 trespassers, when June asked if they come in peace he replied "Then they leave in pieces". The ships suddenly disappeared, Drake was shocked by this as the computer tells him it has burnt up in the atmosphere. Later, June detected an alien presence in the Gryffen House and called for back up, the Anubians took action against the Department and started materialising hypnotic headbands to all Department officers. Drake initiated 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. (TV: Curse of Anubis)
Imprisoning the Mede[]
Drake then hatched a plan. He had a Mede starship along with its two pilots captured. The ship's molecular refractor gave the ship the ability to dematerialise and with that he could use it to spy anywhere and not be seen by anyone, even by Lomax. The attempted replication of their technology caused chenium 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 needed. Drake ordered them to be more persuasive. June arrived and asked why he was there 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 were above all other Department operations, and if her squad is blocked again she would inform Lomax. Drake was then contacted by the CCPC who told him the aliens wouldn't stop talking. Drake then told June he wouldn't "upset" her squad again. He then told her he had business to attend to and she 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 wanted to know where it was 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 did 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 weren't cooperating. He 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 found and went to the factory. She used her higher authorisation to shut down the project. She and the gang went to the Department prison and released the Medes, returning their technology and apologising for Drake's actions. They removed the pollution from the River Thames and returned home with their spaceship. (TV: Alien Avatar)
Chaos of the Aeolians[]
When the Aeolian's mating call caused storms across the United Kingdom, Drake suspected Gryffen as he almost single-handedly caused the Great Cataclysm. June argued that he was part of a group of scientists who all agreed with the experiment, a "crazy, irresponsible experiment" as noted by Drake, exactly the same as the catastrophe affecting Britain. Drake considered arresting Gryffen for being a "mad scientist". He managed to find the Aeolian in the Holy Cross Cathedral and went there along with four CCPCs. Starkey and K9 told him she was an Aeolian merely looking for her mate. Despite their objections, Drake ordered the CCPCs to stun her. They fired at her, knocking her out. K9 told Drake that as the feedback loop hooks up with gravity the Earth will shatter like a wine glass, Drake however refuses to listen to a "robot dog and a juvenile delinquent". As Starkey tried to contact the Aeolians mate using the church organ. Drake ordered the CCPCs to take the Aeolian out but when K9 threatened to "liquidate" him and his "gangsters" he ordered them to stand down. (TV: Aeolian)
Theft of the Major Oak[]
After the Centuripede stole the Major Oak from a museum, Drake was sent with orders from Lomax as the thief was classed as an A-Level threat "which means it's time to let the big boys play". June (who was looking at the alien substance) argued that this wasn't his jurisdiction even as Drake picked up a piece of the alien substance. He later went to kill the aliens in the sewers, but June warned Gryffen, who alterted K9 and the team. He put a gas bomb set to detonate in four minutes. However, everyone including the aliens escaped. (TV: The Last Oak Tree)
The Hunger[]
Drake had the Hunger created to revolutionise cleaning. The Hunger were ordinary yeast cells spliced with alien microbes. However his true intentions were to use the hijacked Fallen Angel technology to control society, believing that future generations would thank him. After a test of the Hunger in the tunnels beneath London, the imploder (used to control the Hunger) was stolen by Darius. At the scene of the accident June scanned the empty hazard suit and detected a possible alien trace. Drake arrived wondering where the device was and firmly demanded the worker to tell him where it was. Drake asked what June was doing there, June asked him the same question as this was merely a city sanitation issue. He told her that disappearance of state property was a very serious problem. June asked him how he heard about it so quickly, he replied that he was "eternally vigilant".
When K9 and the others found the device, he advised them to remove it from the House. Drake told the worker he did not talk to anybody, especially June. He told Drake something had changed the technology, and it would harm whoever had it. Drake asked why should he care, as they were criminals and deserved it. Gryffen was shocked at the analysis, he had never seen anything like it. On the sample of Starkey's shirt, the smaller microbes were attacked by the bigger ones, hunted and consumed, nano-technology never seen before. This microbe's dormancy gene was turned off, so they were always hungry which meant they could literally eat the whole world.
June told Drake she received an analysis from the microbes in the imploder. She knew of his project with the microbes that was closed down because it was too unstable. Drake told her he'd solved it with the use of the Imploder, an electromagnetic containment device allowed to store and transport the Hunger. She revealed that her analysis told her that he genetically altered the swarm to remove its self-limiting and dormancy characteristics. Drake told her it was to make it more efficient and he refused to believe it could get out of control. She told him they didn't know who has it, Drake told her not to panic. She warned him if the swarm got out, it would be the end of his career, and Drake noted how she'd like that. June argued with his opinion that the people were the problem, saying that the planet was surrounded by alien menaces which need to be defeated. Drake agreed but said that first they needed to find the alien technology to take control of the human problem first, revealing the true purpose of Black Hunger and his intentions.
June argued that they'll curse him for taking away their freedom to be themselves. She told Drake that the reason she stayed in the Department was to make sure he doesn't succeed and that she didn't want her daughter growing up in his world. Drake was determined to see her leave before he did. The CCPCs reported to Drake at Department HQ that intruders had been sighted, two juveniles and a robotic dog in Sector NW12. Drake ordered a Department officer to set the imploder to self-destruct; when he asked about the CCPCs and the two juveniles Drake angrily ordered him to proceed. The imploder was set to self-destruct in five minutes.
June arrived and asked who gave the order to secure the tunnels. Drake told her he found the imploder and he needed to make sure it was neutralised. The explosion would sterilise the area and take the people who stole the imploder with it. K9 detected that the imploder would detonate and Jorjie deactivated it by bashing it with a piece of rubbish. The Department technician reported the swarm was still at large and the tunnel led into the River Thames. As K9, Starkey and Jorjie made their way out of the tunnels, the swarm multiplied.
K9 had an idea to let the swarm attack him, so he could fire a beam which would suck the swarm into his mouth. June told Drake he almost killed everyone, to which he replied that calculated risks must be taken to protect society. June argued that he almost destroyed it, which she pointed out in her report, that he went too far and June vowed to take him down.
Lomax decided that, although Drake served with the Department for many years, and this was not Drake's first breach of orders but his most serious to date, he would be moved on to other duties. He then gave the job as head of security to Inspector Thorne, the former governor of Dauntless Prison. (TV: Black Hunger)
