Back Story: Drake's rise to notoriety near southern coastal regions of Gialpha began when he served humbly as a cabin boy while an orphan to support himself. He was employed on the prestigious Sol Trading Company's flagship Complacent based out of the province of Sunrage. While on a route that carried cargo from the tip of Whitebeach to Meadhold pirates attacked. The Bloodcoast Corsairs, as they would later be known as, led by Captain Shaltear would gain reputation for having successfully attacked and robbed an STC trading fleet. Amidst the fighting, Shaltear's first mate Boarne found the boy Drake and took him in to be raised a privateer.

Drake was essentially raised on the sea. Though he had learned a thing or two while aboard the Complacent, he had only recently been employed by the STC when the Corsairs attacked. Having no home to return to and no family to have known, the pirates of the Bloodcoast Corsairs quickly became his friends and family. Raised in their ways since he was 7, life on the coast of southern Gialpha was all he had known. The Bloodcoast Corsairs had managed to attack several other trading ships of various different companies as Drake grew older and began to help more and more. As the Corsairs gained reputation, private companies and marketing rivals soon sought their services to obstruct the economical efforts of competing services. Thus the Bloodcoast Corsairs became privateers, and feared ones at that.

Unfortunately the rise to infamy draws the attention of governmental authority as well. The Provinces of Whitebeach, Sunrage, Meadhold, and Bloodcoast grew tired of the rise in terror across their coasts. Bounties begun to spring up for individual members of the Corsairs to include Captain Shaltear, Boarne, and Drake himself. Other privateers, who were once thought friends, now began attacking the Bloodcoast Corsair's Sanguine Fleet. The bounties began to become exorbitant as the Corsairs got away each time, but not without casualties. Two years later, shortly after Drake had turned 25, a small fleet sanctioned by the major trading companies of Gialpha's southern hemisphere made up of their own escort ships and employed privateers cornered and destroyed the Sanguine Fleet. Few escaped, many died, and most were captured, tried, and imprisoned.

Drake, 27 years of age, now walks the mainland of Gialpha a disgraced pirate in secret. He often pursues mercenary work as a cheap imitation of his once glorious buccaneering career.
