A large majority of the residents at that time were of the dark persuasion as was Drake. He was a Knight of Takhisis and followed her with the greatest devotion.

Old One and he battled for many months before Drake's eventual death.

Old One finaly shot him with a fireball after many attempts at the spell. In the process of ridding the castle of Drake's presence Old One managed to evaporate the moat, blanch the fruit trees of the court yard, singe Zale's tail feathers, fill his tower with soot and burn down nearly half of the west wing of the castle among other catastrophies.

In the end, Drake found his home with his queen in the other world.

May his soul find its peace.
