Appearances
Light

Drake Merwin, Sr. appears in Light on the marina with Connie Temple. He says he has been watching the FAYZ since the barrier became transparent, and explains to Connie what happened to Lake Tramonto after Gaia attacked. He says boats came up to the barrier to talk with him, but when he asked about his grandson, Drake Merwin, Jr; the kids said they didn't know him, but had grave expression on their faces; leading Merwin to believe his grandson was dead. Merwin lets Connie have a look at the damage through his binoculars on the boat; where she saw burning boats, trailers and tents, along with bodies floating on the water. She also saw Alex Mayle carrying Drake's head in a cooler.
