"The German occupation of Austria shattered families. Those who fought back forged a new family. Anna Drake lost all she loved to the Nazis. She refused to lose again. Rage this fierce can't be caged. Some fires are too hot to snuff. The resistance always lives on. As long as the world needs vengeance, survivors will find a way."
Born in Vienna in 1923, Anna Drake enjoyed a life of hiking and skiing until the annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany in March 1938. In November 1938, during the Kristallnacht, her home was demolished while her friends and family were executed. Anna was taken prisoner, but managed to escape by planting an improvised explosive device inside the munitions factory at her labor camp. After this, Anna joined the O5 Network.
At some point, Anna was arrested but used an improvised firearm from her cell to eliminate a guard and retrieve the keys to free the other prisoners. Leading the jailbreak, Anna escaped once again.
Caldera[]
Between late 1944 and early 1945, Anna was approached by Carver Butcher and the S.O.E. to form and lead Task Force Yeti with the goal of infiltrating a German stronghold inside a medieval castle in the Alps. Led by Butcher, alongside Gustavo dos Santos and Thomas Bolt, Anna entered the castle in search for information regarding Nebula V. The team fought their way to reach a door where Nebula V was stockpiled, a German soldier released the gas while celebrating the Fourth Reich before Anna shot him. The team regrouped with Butcher, quickly leaving the area as the gas spread throughout the castle as German soldiers tried to escape the castle.
A bug in Vanguard resulted in granting players a different skin instead of Anna's White Mirage skin. This was later patched, however all players who received the wrong skin from February 14th to February 21st, 2022 were still given access to it.
The aforementioned skin was later released officially as the "White Plague" skin for Beatrice Mercier.
Prior to the 1.15 update, Anna used the STG-44 in her Perfect DefenseHighlight Intro instead of her favorite weapon, the KG M40.
Anna has the Task Force Yeti logo on the back of her "White Mirage" skin.
Anna's birth date was originally listed as August 19th, 1923, a date shared with Isabella Reyes. This was confirmed to be an error [3] and was changed on May 24th, 2022.
