Jake Jordan

 was one of the Red Jack's Pirates, under the nickname Drake.

He was 17 in 722 when he escaped from home, along with Edgar and Kent to become river pirates.

He and Adriana Li'Yeiraun, the illegitimate daughter of Red Jack, fell in love; some time later, he and Adriana parted company, but rather than continuing as an outlaw or being tried, he, helped by the influence of the Jordell family, took advantage of the Duke's Clemency and joined the armed forces of Baron Daelrath. He quickly advanced there, passing exams to become a Champion of Virtusar and becoming a sergeant.
