Mark Drake
Private First Class Mark Drake was a Smartgun operator with the United States Colonial Marine Corps, part of 2nd Battalion Bravo Team. 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. He subsequently perished as a result of the Xenomorph infestation at the colony.
Drake was part of Second Squad's gun team, along with Corporal Hicks. He had a long history with fellow Smartgun operator Private Jenette Vasquez, and the two shared a close, possibly romantic relationship. He was killed during the early stages of the operation when an exploding Warrior showered him in acid.
