Origin[]
Mr. Drake was the chief engineer of an expedition in Mexico who stumbled onto hidden gold inside of an Aztec Temple. By disguising himself as a "Guardian of the Aztecs," he tried to scare off others from discovering it.
The Black Hood and Barbara Sutton were part of his last expedition team. After being warned by the masked Drake, members of the crew began to die. The natives also kidnapped Barbara for a sacrifice but, the Black Hood rescued her. Afterwards, he chased Drake into the temple, who then got impaled by falling spears and died.
