Franklin Drake

Franklin Drake is a former Starfleet intelligence operative for Section 31. In 2407, Drake defected from the Federation and began investigating the threat the Devidians posed to the Alpha Quadrant. Starfleet had refused to acknowledge their alleged interference, leading Drake to take matters into his own hands. During his exile, Drake made friends with a number of undesirable figures, including Cardassian terrorist Gul Madred, Klingon Ambassador J'mpok and even Q. Drake's obsession that the Devidians were about to strike were confirmed in 2409 when the USS Hunt detected them in the Neutral Zone. Drake contacted James Copper and convinced him a temporal intervention was necessary to solve the crisis. In 2410 when Copper was accused of the murder of Qatanmek, Drake was sought out by Mirra Boleros, who asked him to use his grasp of quantum temporal mechanics to retrieve the disembodied spirit of Qatanmek from the mysterious Enigma Nebula.
