Drake was the son of Draco and most likely "The Scarred One" who was found in an egg by his father's best friend and former dragon slayer Bowen. Bowen took the egg to Brother Gilbert and the monastery he resides. Drake was taken care of and hidden in the monastery's dungeon by the friars and monks, but was taught by Friar Peter for 20 years. It was then that one night a young stable boy named Geoff enters the dungeon with a key he had stolen from a monk named Mansel.
