Drake is a tall, slim, and lithe human male. Sam describes him as a "smiling, playful, mean-eyed kid" with shaggy, sandy-blonde hair that later turns to dirty blond or light brown. His eyes are either gray or pale blue and are often described as steely or icy, and soulless. Originally a psychotic enforcer for Caine Soren, Drake becomes unquestionably loyal to the Gaiaphage after the creature gives him a whip-like arm after his original arm is burned off by Sam Temple. He had a lot of muscles.
