Drake Volta

Drake is the last Soldier 1st Class to graduate from Shinras Soldier division before Sephiroths attack on Shinra HQ and subsequent murder of the President closed the division down for good. He was trained by Angeal and was given command of the attack on Fort Condor. When he realised that the plan was to attack the nesting condor on top of the reactor he rebelled and fought off the first battalion, wounded severely in the process and putting himself on Shinras wanted list. He retreated to Cosmo Canyon to recuperate and hide from retaliatory forces from Shinra, learning the truth about Mako and the planet from Bugenhagen and devoting himself to opposing Shinra and saving the planet.
