History: Born on New Syrtis to a semi-affluent family near the conclusion of the Fourth Succession War, Drake Sinclair came of age just in time (for better or worse) to experience the full effect of the Clan Invasions into the Inner Sphere. His family had just enough clout to get Drake accepted into Warrior's Hall Military Academy on New Syrtis, despite his prior mediocre academic performance and overall lack of motivation towards any higher goal in life. Drake soon "found himself" and excelled at all pursuits at Warrior's Hall, quickly distinguishing himself as a capable Aerospace fighter pilot and hand-to-hand combatant outside of the cockpit. He quickly found himself deployed to the front-lines of the impending Clan Invasions as a member of the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns. By the time the Truce of Tukayyid had been signed, Drake had stacked up 7 aerospace and 5 mech kills (confirmed) among the Clan Invaders, and had even been enlisted by the Ministry of Information, Intelligence, and Operations (MIIO). He participated in classified covert ops on two separate occasions, bringing the green warrior behind enemy lines and face to face with the Clan opposition.

Riding high on his successes during one of the Inner Sphere's most trying events, Drake was able to return home to New Syrtis and spent the next several years rotating through the various home units of the Capellan March Militia (CMM). Life was very good for many years, enabling Drake to keep flying more or less on a part-time basis with the Militia, while returning to his family's ancestral home in Saso and keeping up with affairs there. These laid-back years came to an end, however, when events of the FedCom Civil War turned New Syrtis into a battlefield in the campaign to resist the tyranny of Katrina Steiner. As the 11th Avalon Hussars, 4th Donegal Guards and Ridgebrook CMM descended onto Drake's homeland, he was among the first to take the sword straight to the enemy, leading elements of the 1st New Syrtis CMM Aerowing into battle. As the dust settled on New Syrtis, the supporters of Victor Davion had won the day, but the destructive cost was particularly high. Drake had lost his home and his family to the fighting.

Drake now thinks himself to be a bit of a homeless drifter, despite rumors that he inherited enough wealth from his departed family to rebuild and reestablish his ancestral home on New Syrtis. Instead, he has resigned his position within the AFFS and taken to the mercenary lifestyle, joining the LEGIONNAIRES merc group. While his true intents and purposes are a mystery to all, on the outside he seems to maintain the same drives and goals of any other merc warrior....the next big thrill and the next big paycheck!

Qualifications: Graduate of Warrior's Hall Military Academy, New Syrtis.

Remarks: Drake is an accomplished aerospace fighter pilot with a dramatic sense of style and deep-seeded code of personal honor and loyalty. While some of his antics in and out of the cockpit have earned him the callsign "Risky" (from his early days at Warrior's Hall), he maintains enough restraint to insure the safety of his comrades and will never compromise a mission objective. Drake is also quite capable at hand-to-hand combat (particularly karate) as well as taking part in covert ops and infiltrations. It should be also be noted that Drake has always been a firm Davionist, as is his family tradition, and that recent events have given him a very real reason to despise anything or anyone remotely "Steiner" or "Lyran." Anyone who speaks ill of the Davions (particularly the late Morgan Hasek-Davion) can expect an immediate challenge, usually in the form swift karate tsuki.

Currently: Newly assigned to LEGIONNAIRES. Despite extensive military history, Drake is little more than a stranger with the mercenary unit and is therefore of recruit status.
