The Collective

The Collective is a group of bounty hunters led by Drake. They were hired by Absolution to either kill or capture Ayane Yagami.

Overview
The Collective was formed by Drake "The Molten Berserker," after being bailed out of prison by Absolution. Drake was approached by Marin Hollow, who offered him freedom as long as he served Kaiser. Drake obliged, and Marin busted him out. Despite Drake's agreement to serve Kaiser, he was allowed to do odd jobs as a mercenary as long as he didn't step out of his boundaries.

Drake encountered Emma Baum, "The Cleaner", to claim her bounty from HOPE. After battling her, she ended up defeating him rather decisively, and impaired him to the point that he couldn't move his body, only the second time he had been defeated, (the first time being to Ayane Yagami, who also sent him behind bars). Emma taunted Drake, and knowing that he was a mercenary for Absolution, sweet talked her way to Drake's side, who said she would only spare his life if he allowed her to partner up with him. Drake begrudgingly obliged, and has a deep-seated hatred for Emma for being able to defeat him so easily, and swears vengeance upon her, but they work together in the mean time.

Drake and Emma encountered Levy Lacroix "The Mirage" in Europe. Valuing her skill and dexterity, they recruited her as well. Together they began to be known as "The Collective", and they now serve directly under Absolution.
