Name: Frances Drake
Race/Type: Human/Leader of Thieves
Age: 39
Appearance: Drake is about 5'11” tall, athletically built, has short brown hair and brown eyes. He typically wears beige coloured pants with some dull coloured button up shirt and brown suspenders over a tall pair of brown boots. He wears a holster belt loose around his hip, and often wears a brown trench coat, always open at the front.
Likes: Eating, drinking, and sleeping. Good humour, confidence, and attractive women.
Dislikes: Cowards, rich elitists, misinformation, unguilded thieves working on his turf.
Demeanour: Drake generally holds himself casually, which is friendly to most people but serves to enhance the fear of those who have reason to fear him. He is extremely hard to read, and is frighteningly calm even when conducting the uglier side of business.
Skills: Blends seamlessly into crowds, can creep about in shadows or be unseen almost anywhere he goes if he wants. He is a master at slight of hand like picking pockets. He is a fierce fighter and stronger than he looks. Drake is also extremely strong of will, surprisingly intelligent, and very charismatic.
Weapons/Armour: Drake carries a knife on his right hip and one on the left of his chest. He also carries a sword, katana in style, sheathed hilt down on his back. His pants and interior of his coat have a great many pockets, and his belt and suspenders have clips to hold things in as well.
History: Drake was born to a poor family and an abusive father. Escaping the troubles at home, Frances took to the streets at the young age of seven and soon fell into a life of crime. The thieves guild was an immediately enticing refuge as they proved to be the family he didn't have at home. He started first by gathering information, running errands, and soon the boy became a part of thieving ploys.
Earning his keep early, Drake began contributing in guild conversations by the age of twelve. He formed plots – more and more elaborate and high gain as he got older – and enforced the will of the guild to those who would break the creed. He was the go to guy in Meerin for years before the leader of the time got dumb with power and had himself caught.
There was some discord in the leaderless Meerin guild, but Frances Drake talked some thieves into his lead and forced the rest before the envoy even came from the capitol Karador. Drake was twenty five then, and the guild has continued to grow better ever since. He leads his guild in an upbuilding manner, but brings down hard retribution when it is due. Drake has always believed that a leader should be seen doing the dirty deeds himself, and he practices that philosophy still – never ask anyone to do something you're not willing to do yourself, and he is will to do some damn distasteful things.
Principle in the creed of thieves is to never prey on the poor. The guild is not a wholly malicious organization – they simply have a crude way of going about their business – and aim to never hit anyone where it really hurts. The guild has even been known, especially under the local leadership of Frances Drake, to donate and offer support for the poor and struggling, offering help financially and through security to those in need.
