He also wears a black cape, which, from the inside, is crimson-colored, with a white fur lining around the neck. A belt with a large ornately designed circular belt buckle secures Drake's pants as well as his sword and axe to his waist. On the rest of his body he wears leather pants and a leather shirt. The openings to both the gloves and the boots are also secured by the armor, which is rounded for the gloves and a sharp maple leaf pattern for the boots at the front of his knees. He wears armor on his relatively thin legs and arms consisting of knee-high boots and gloves that go up past his elbows, respectively.
When seen from above, his bicorne greatly resembles the head of a Pterodactyl. The "X's", as well as that in his name, represents the Roman Numeral X for 10, not the English letter. On his broad chin he has an "X" (not confirmed to be either a scar or tattoo) and on his chest and upper body he also has another large "X". Underneath this headgear, Drake's hair is reddish brown, with brush-like sideburns.
