Drake Roxley is a paladin of Nalindra, and founder of Drake's Company.

Drake grew up in Inethar in the nation of Varen. When aberrations set loose by the wizard Tephra attacked and left the ranks of the city watch depleted, Drake joined them to help protect his city. He proved to be somewhat overzealous in enforcing the law, both enforcing heavy punishments for minor crimes and refusing to look the other way when it came to the crimes of the nobility, as many of his fellow officers did. Eventually Drake effected the very public arrest of the halfling noble Neff Willowrush on corruption charges; shortly thereafter, Drake was dismissed from service. When his wife and daughter were murdered two months later, and Neff's symbol drawn onto their backs, the city watch did nothing; Drake decided then and there that no justice could be found in Inethar.

Hearing stories of a monastery across the sea dedicated to the principles of justice, he sailed to Orodeth and sought out the [[Thundering Hall to become a paladin of Bahamut. Drake embraced Bahamut's teachings, vowing to bring justice and enforcement of the law to all--especially Neff Willowrush. However, he frequently clashed with the monastery's leaders and had little patience for the military drills and rigid rules imposed on him. When he witnessed what he believed to be preferential treatment given to a paladin hailing from a noble house in Northeron, he demanded that both the paladin and abbot be held accountable; instead, Drake was ordered to leave the monastery.

Drake eventually found work as a bounty hunter, traveling up and down the Belsimar Strait imposing justice on lawbreakers when the legal authority of the Mercantile Alliance proved inadequate. He soon made a name for himself in Drakkengarde, alongside his friend and fellow bounty hunter Bran.
