Drake Mercer is a semi-sane, ruthless Templar. Ancestor to Anton Mercer, he first appeared in Florence in the late 15th century, when the Templar force there began to feel the sting of the Assassin's blade beyond what was acceptable. He held a sort of Coup d'état when he removed the previous Templar Master in Florence and put himself in power, directing systematic assaults on the Assassins in the area, and dispatching a spy to infiltrate the Assassin HQ and murder the Master Assassin within; making what would seem to be a quick and decisive win for the Templars in Italy. The current attire he is wearing is his civilian disguise when he later went to the city of Constantinople. He could walk in public unseen as he wore dark clothes and a mask when conducting business for the Cross.
