Private First Class Mark Drake was a Smartgun operator with the United States Colonial Marine Corps. He was a member of the combat unit deployed to LV-426 aboard the USS Sulaco in 2179, to investigate the sudden loss of contact with the colony of Hadley's Hope.

Drake was part of Second Squad's gun team, along with Corporal Hicks. He was killed during the early stages of the operation when an exploding Warrior showered him in acid. He also had a long history with fellow Smartgun operator Private Jenette Vasquez, and the two shared a close, possibly romantic relationship.

Drake is my last custom figure in my Aliens series. Drake was made using a Dutch figure as base and sculpting. His smartgun is scratch made.
