The Drake

Thomas Edison Silver, aka Bombsquad, aka The Drake, is a criminal explosives expert. Records indicate he graduated Vanderbilt University with a BS in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and a BS in Electrical Engineering, both with high honors. He was also the head of the University's MMA club and Fencing Club for his final two years. He went on to recieve a Ph.D in chemistry at MIT, writting his thesis on the chemical reaction behind cryo-grenades.

Originally an in house researcher for a petroleum company, the blackout inspired him to pursue a life of crime. Hindsight would make this choice obvious, as he had an active post history on several militant anarchist web forums. Starting with a series of petty thefts, he quitly built up a stock of improvised, high performance explosives, along with a collection of titanium alloy blades. He would soon graduate to high profile government building bombings and bank robberies.

By the time he showed up on OASA's radar as The Drake, he had already infiltrated the organization as Bombsquad, leading the Amber City Squad on a rescue mission to save Ferrous from Breaker. As soon as the mission was confirmed succesful, he set of a series of explosions that rocked OASA HQ, killing Blurr and Cosmic Man. He was eventually defeated in a gas station fire in the Amber City slums by the Amber City Squad. A thumb stick was found on his person detailing information on the 8-Pointed Crystal.
