History
Drake was serving at Northwind from some time at 3057. His relationships with the Highlanders were cold as best. His right hand was the Colonel Catelli, commander of the Northwind Consul Guard, apparently a loyal officer... but in fact, he was always manipulating his superior to meet Drew's own ends. The arrival, the 11 September, of the Capellan Death Commando and Highlanders' descendant [Loren Jaffray]] became very conflicting, as Burns saw Loren as little more than a terrorist, attempted to seize his present to MacLeod, a Huron Warrior BattleMech, but wasn't able to realize his intentions. Catelli later put him on guard against Loren.[2]
The 19 September, after an assassination attempt was made against MacLeod, Catelli suggested Burns to call the nearby Third Royal Guards RCT, to subdue the Highlanders, and Burns agreed, ignoring than Catelli was manipulating him.[3]
Death
The 4 October, after the Battle of Northwind (3057) had began, Burns received in his office his acting aide Stephen Lepeta, Drew's right hand, which informed him about a threat to his life. Burns was scared, but even more surprisedwhen Lepeta killed him himself, acting under orders from Catelli. His death's blame was put over the Highlanders, giving the Third RCT an excuse to occupy Tara.[4]
