Jenova, they named it. How I longed to meet her.
Dr. Drake
Dr. Drake is a doctor formerly employed by Shinra. He is introduced in Final Fantasy VII The Kids Are Alright: A Turks Side Story, wherein he has relocated to Doyleville.
Story[]
Dr. Drake once worked as a military doctor for Shinra. He was the assistant of Eugene Dimitri. Together, they performed heart surgery on the five year old Evan Townshend. After Meteorfall, Drake relocated to the newly established Edge. When Evan Townshend was injured while fleeing the Turks, Drake administered medical aid to him. It was then that Drake recognized Evan as the same child he had operated on. Drake apologized for Evan's surgical scar. It had been Drake's first operation on a child. As a field medic, he was most experienced with bullet and shrapnel wounds; many of the injured asked for obvious scars to show off, and Drake had unconsciously done the same to Evan.
Evan later waited at Dr. Drake's office for Cloud Strife. Drake showed Evan a picture of a mummified woman's arm. He explained that the arm belonged to Jenova, and that Shinra scientists had been studying her. Drake expressed a desire to study Jenova, but he had been assigned to the medical corps instead. After Evan left, Dr. Drake spoke to Eugene Dimitri. Eugene told Drake to send Evan to his clinic at Under Junon because Evan required an important surgery. Unbeknownst to Drake, Evan did not have a medical problem. Eugene had lied to Evan's mother years back, hoping to receive a large payout in exchange for the surgery. Drake told Evan's friend Fabio Braun, who decided to steal a Turk helicopter and find Evan. During the process, he and fellow Doyleville resident Keough were killed.
Kadaj then visited Dr. Drake, believing he might have knowledge of Jenova's whereabouts, though Drake did not. A patient later discovered Dr. Drake in a pool of blood. However, Drake had managed to stop his bleeding and stitched his wound before falling unconscious. Colleagues of his arrived to treat his injuries and former patients assisted in his recovery.
