A member of the scientific team that digs Borg wreckage and frozen drones out of the Arctic ice in 2153, and who becomes one of the first humans of that century to be assimilated.
Drake appears in the Enterprise episode Regeneration. He is one of a small research team sent to the Arctic Circle to examine debris found in a glacier, the remains of the Borg sphere destroyed over Earth in 2063 during the events of Star Trek: First Contact.
The team recovers two cybernetic humanoids from the ice and, with no idea what they are, brings them into the base camp to thaw. Nanoprobes repair the drones, which revive and attack.
Drake and his colleagues Rooney and Moninger are assimilated, and the group leaves Earth in the expedition's transport, modifying it as they go. Enterprise is sent in pursuit and is eventually forced to destroy the ship with everyone aboard.
