[h3]Strengths and Weaknesses[/h3]
[list]
Skills: 

Swordsmanship and close combat with 
mixed and improvised weapons. 

Tracking and sailing.

Master gunner…but an awful shot with anything smaller than pounds of shot. . 

An skilled artist with pens and ink, he has earned that though the long waits as they sail and lurk for their prey. 

Charm, he had charm, charisma and leadership. 

Cons. 
Cannot sing for life of him, like someone drowned a cat in a bag of cats, in a pig pen. 

Can be too confident and has a reputation for getting out of scrapes but that's only made the first part more dangerous. 

Has a weakness for women, wild women and combined with his other Natures. He has done some outrageous things for those reasons. 

while a good hunter, once he finds a prey, he can get too focused on the kill.

[h3]Background:[/h3]
Background: 

Drake grew up and he joined as an officer though he did not fit with the tight and starkly controlled Navy structures. His youth was troubled and soon found himself offering his resignation and the following week was making a petition to the court to become a legal Privateer to the Crown. 

His family was not the richest but not without means and he soon had acquired a former trading brig that was fast. It had good bones and a start for a light warship, shallow hull could face storms but also operate closer to the shore than larger warships. 

As a Privateer he soon found his success, he began to claim prizes in the name of the crown but he was a renegade though a licensed one and began to build crew and reputation among foe and friend, though he was one of those who could fall into a Pirate should be choose to change his loyalty. 

Over time he began to attract and fell into the black alliances sphere and made contact through layers, tested and gauged them. He chose to join the Black court in the growing investment in factions, he liked gold and like many of them his morals were not exactly those of a monk… far from it really, they saw the world for what they could take and gain.

His crew is a mix of former soldiers, hard bitten men and others whom he has collected over time to work alongside. Among them are highly trained crew who can be rowdy, chaotic and disciplined as a Naval crew in battle. 

He has several other allies though he has yet to call upon them.
