Drake was an exiled member of the Amar Kabal. He was first introduced when Jason Walker met him at Harthenham, and he became an important character in the subsequent books.
Pre-Series[]
Drake had tried for many lifetimes to find a purpose for living. Due to his fighting against Maldor, he was eventually offered an invitation to Harthenham, where he spent several short lifetimes of eating himself to death. Finally, after one such death, his Amar did not reform properly, so Drake knew he had only one life left. Drake helped the displacer Malar, whom had betrayed Maldor, escape after being captured by Maldor as a spy had leaked their attack. They escaped from the boat holding by swimming along with a rebel named Rex. Malar lost many parts, only keeping his arm and head. Drake secretly passed off a Malar as luggage, but heard nothing more about him.
A World Without Heroes[]
Drake is first introduced during Jason's stay at Harthenham. He is found lounging and eating Lumba berry pie, and speaks to Jason about the pies, their negative effects, and his multiple deaths via the berries. He reveals that he is a disgraced member of the Amar Kabal, and that after one such death by Lumba berries, his amar failed to reform properly, and he thus has only one life remaining.
Inspired by Jason's courage, Drake joined him and Tark in their escape from Harthenham, along with Tristan (Nedwin's brother), who was unfortunately killed by dogs in the midst of the escape. As Jason is apprehended by soldiers of Maldor, Drake flees the scene with Rachel and remains on the run while Jason is imprisoned in Felrook.
Seeds of Rebellion[]
Despite a prophecy that predicted that the downfall of the Amar Kabal would come when they started using Edomic, Drake knew some practical Edomic commands, and eventually taught Rachel how to summon heat as her first Edomic command.
Chasing the Prophecy[]
Drake accompanied Jason's group on their way to find Darian the Seer. Drake was killed after valiantly defending Jason from Lurky. Along with Jasher, Drake kept the torivor at bay. He sacrificed himself by falling on the torivor's sword in order to cause a distraction while Jasher stabbed it through the back.
Relatives[]
Drake had several siblings, though Farfalee, who was his oldest sister, is the only one ever mentioned. Farfalee is married to Jasher, and the couple had a son, Lodan.
Physical Features[]
He was described as having broad, flat features and dark hair. He also has a gold tooth.
Five Kingdoms[]
He returned as an echo in the fourth book in Brandon Mull's Five Kingdoms series.
