==Biography==
===Early life===
Rake Gahree was born to a mother and a father, and had a brother.
===The rebellion===
Rake Gahree was an Imperial cadet at the Skystrike Academy, which trained TIE fighter pilots. He was friends with Marcia Mouse and Derek "Hobbie" Klivian. Two years before the Battle of Yavin, Gahree and his friends became disillusioned with the Galactic Empire after the Imperials began destroying unarmed rebel ships that had surrendered. They sent a message to Phoenix Cell that was picked up by the rebel agent Fulcrum. Fulcrum contacted the Phoenix Cell who dispatched the former Imperial cadet and Miraculous warrior Marinette Dupain-Cheng to extract them.
After Director Scarlett and Agent Kallus arrived to investigate the presence of defectors at the Academy, Gahree and his two friends talked about the risks involved in their escape attempt. Later, Marinette met up with Marcia and told him that she had come to rescue him and his friends. An opportunity to escape arose when Director Scarlett and Instructor Goran dispatched all of the cadets on a mock battle exercise. However, this was a trap devised by Scarlett to lure the defectors out of hiding. At Marinette's direction, the defecting cadets flew their TIE fighters towards a rebel CR90 corvette.
However, Scarlett deactivated the TIE's solar collector panels, leaving the pilots stranded in space. A flight of TIE interceptors led by Captain Vult Skerris then attacked the rebel corvette. Under Scarlett's orders, Skerris fired a salvo at one of the cadets' TIE fighters; hitting Gahree's craft. Gahree was killed while his friends and Marinette watched. Despite his death, his friends and Marinette made a second successful escape attempt.
