Basilius Drake

Basilius Drake is a Helsian citizen currently living in Grimsgil.

The January Upheaval
Drake spent the days of the January Upheaval opposing Uraki occupation and Buoyo's proposal to submit bloodlessly. He enlisted in the army of the great coalition and helped construct the (unfinished) fort Gregory in Roddinbrok before being wounded and driven away by a bandit attack. During this time he and Crimson began construction of fort Perseo in western Aionios, the legitimacy of which is in question due to the nation it was built to defend against (Uraka) being given the land peacefully and becoming Helsia's ally.

The Dissolution
He was a supporter of Helsia during the civil war in CoG. He aided the verbal counterattack by many Helsians against the SPG's propaganda efforts and voiced outrage when Leg Ham attempted an occupation of Miklagard, a fruitless operation that failed miserably with them managing to take a single screenshot before being forced out with ease. The war was called off with Nueva Trinidad surrendering, making Drake's contributions purely verbal.

The Order Of The Eye
Basilius Drake is the Captain General of the Order of the Eye, a religious order following Helceye. They opposed the Pope's Sans Monarchie and forced them out of Helsia through a duel between Drake and Pope in Total War: Attila. There were 3 matches and Drake won all three. Other than this the Order has had no operations beyond enforcing a kill-on-sight doctrine on all San Monarchie operatives inside Helsian borders as per the law proposed by Drake.

Vaiael
The Eye gave Drake a gift for his piety. Unfortunately for Drake, this meant surrendering part of his free will to the eye in return for power. A being calling itself Vaiael has been known to sporadically take over Drake's consciousness and perform what it describes as "the will of the Eye" without concern for consequences or morality. Vaiael is believed to be a being created by the eye, infused with a fragment of the Eye's consciousness and given the task of doing the Eye's bidding (at least that's what it claims) but there has been no proof of it's true intentions. Vaiael is proficient in many forms of magic, causing Drake to hunger for a way to counter Vaiael's growing strength. He has been researching the renowned power of the vampires in order to grow strong enough to create a balance within his own mind. Nothing has come of his research as of yet.
