Legend

this young Jedi Padawan was being trained by Jedi Master Roron Corobb during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. They were part of the task force that was dispatched to protect Chancellor Palpatine when General Grievous launched his attack on Coruscant. Unfortunately, Grievous was able to kill both Master Corobb and Master Moudama before taking Palpatine hostage, leaving Drake disconsolate and directionless. After the First Battle of Coruscant, Drake learned that a mission was being formed to go after Grievous. He approached Anakin Skywalker about joining the mission, hoping to avenge the death of his Master. Anakin explained that only Obi-Wan Kenobi had been sent after Grievous. Meanwhile, Drake and Ekria were both assigned to the mission led by Aayla Secura to Felucia. It was on Felucia that Ekria intercepted the communication of Order 66, but was unable to decrypt it before Commander Bly received it an acted on it. After escaping from Felucia, Ekria, Zonder, and Drake returned to Coruscant as refugees, then slipped into the Jedi Temple. There, Ekria erased all information on them from the computer banks of the Jedi Archives, allowing them to continue to operate undercover. Then, while trying to blend in, Drake and Zonder tried to get normal jobs. However, they were split up when Zonder was assigned to a work crew, and Drake - posing as Jodd Sonta - was taken to a meeting of COMPNOR. At the meeting, Drake found himself listening to an early speech from High Inquisitor Tremayne, and was stunned to find out how easy it was to slip into his pro-Imperial disguise. He was also surprised at how easily he was attracted to Onnelly Praji, one of the young aristos who was traveling to the Emerald Splendor Estates on Byss. After the meeting, Tremayne singled out Drake for investigation, when his background story didn't check out. Drake was unaware of the attention he had attracted, until he discovered that Zonder had been assigned to a non-human work detail that was to be eliminated. He set out to rescue his friend, blowing his cover and alerting the Imperial authorities to his presence on Coruscant. When he was confronted by Tremayne, however, Drake was not immediately captured and sent to prison. Instead, Tremayne offered Drake a chance to join him, and be trained in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force.
