X. Drake is a former Marine Rear Admiral (少将 Shōshō) turned pirate captain of the Drake Pirates. He is one of eleven pirates who have been referred to as "The Eleven Supernovas" on Sabaody Archipelago whose bounties are higher than 100,000,000 when the Straw Hats arrive in the place.

Drake is a man who wears what appears to be a combination of a feathered cocked hat and a mask on his head. On his broad chin he has a "X" and on his chest and upper body he also has another large "X",

When seen from above, his bicorne greatly resembles the head of a Pterodactyl

He wears armor on his legs and arms consisting of knee-high boots and gloves that go up past his elbows. On the rest of his body he wears leather pants and a leather shirt; a belt with a large ornately designed circular belt buckle secures Drake's pants. He also wears a black cape, which, from the inside, is crimson-colored, with a fur coating around the neck.

Like his fellow Supernova, Basil Hawkins, Drake appears to be a pirate who abhors needless violence especially if he knows it would cause too much attention

Though he carries a four bladed axe as part of his weaponry, he is also known for swordsmanship. The sword he is seen wielding is a rapier-like sword. His skill is enough that he was capable of interrupting the fight of two other Supernovas with just one move.

He has also achieved physical strength to the degree where he was able to kick aside a "copy" of the Shichibukai, Bartholomew Kuma.

As a former Marine, Drake has a deep understanding of the workings of the World Government, and is able to use this knowledge to protect himself from danger and predict the movements of the Marines. He also is aware of the Pacifista and Vegapunk.
