Inspector Reid’s right-hand, Sergeant Bennet Drake, is a hard man with some harder demons. Ex-army, his fists often deliver the blow needed to get a suspect talking. But outside of his suit, Drake doesn’t have a lot to distinguish him from the thugs he polices. He is fiercely loyal to Reid as it was the Inspector who saw the potential in him – beyond a supreme ability to crack heads.
And what Reid saw is integrity and an affiliation to the streets. Drake – unlike many coppers – does not see himself as morally superior to the populace he polices. He has known the horrors of war and knows of what monstrosities men are capable of. Above all else, Drake wishes to find a way to escape his thug status and the dehumanizing memories he carries with him.
