— Drake -

Drake is a Commanding Officer from Green Earth. He debuts in the Advance Wars Campaign mission Captain Drake!.

Drake is a former pirate. He as known as モップ (Moppu; Mop) in the Japanese versions of the games.

Role

In Advance Wars

Drake does not appear until near the end of the campaign in Advance Wars. When he does show up, he fights Orange Star, but not for vengeance as Eagle does; instead, Drake seeks to find answers in battle. He believes that Sonja's theory about a mystery foe creating clones is a possibility, but he wants to find proof. He tries to convince Eagle of his theory, but Eagle is not swayed by mere logic. Drake is also a candidate for The Final Battle; he fights on the eastern front if the player selected Andy for all fights against him as well as "Wings of Victory" and did not fight against Sonja.

In Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising

Drake and Eagle return in the second game.

In Advance Wars: Dual Strike

Drake himself does not make an appearance; however, he is cloned by the Black Hole army and is fought against in the mission Pincer Strike

Personality

Drake is a jolly and carefree CO, often preferring to go with the flow and not sweat the small stuff.

Relationships

Drake and Eagle generally get along, although Eagle's hotheadedness naturally clashes a bit with Drake's more calm demeanor. Eagle is sometimes frustrated with Drake's apparent lack of urgency, but he is never truly angry with him.

Drake is also friendly with Jess as a fellow Green Earth commander; he often serves as a calming influence when she and Eagle argue.
