Blake was born on Earth a proud citizen of the Federation at age of 18 he joined the Royal Federation Guard But afer two years he noticed corruption infiltrating the governnent run by Hudson, ministers being replaced by people loyal to Hudson, rumours began to circulate that Hudson had been replaced my a copy from the mirrior universe but anyone who spoke out aginst him suddenly went missing, in the end Blake could no longer stand by and see this corruption, he knew he could not do anything while in the service of the Federation Guard so he left and joined the Legion, he was happy there for awhile, he got involved in bgs and was finaly promoted to Optio and was asked to join the Doughnuts a black ops group, everything was great but he noticed a change in Dave his commander and friend, strange orders and angry out bursts and then for no reason Dave said he was leaving the Legion and asking to meet him in the great hall for a glass of Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, an alcoholic beverage invented by Zaphod Beeblebrox the former President of the Legion. When he got there Blake noticed the doors to the great hall were open and there were no guards, he thought it strange, on entering it was noticeably empty, Suddely he heared the familiar whinning sound of a stun grenade and then blackness. When Blake came round he was still in the great hall but things where diffrent because standing before him was the shimmering light from an inter-dimensional portal to a mirror univers and next to it was a clocked figure his eyes were red and his face was evil and disfigured but it looks familiar Blake suddenly relised it was him, he tried to run but was hit by a blast from a Manticore Executioner killing him instantly. The mirror Blake just smiled as he turned to be greeted by his friend Dave The cloked figure turned to dave and said from from this day forth I shall no longer be known as Blake Seven but shall be called Dark Hold
