A natural-born leader, Blake assumes command of the abandoned Liberator after being framed by the Federation.
Although his quest takes him to many worlds, Blake often expresses a primary desire for the heavily-guarded Earth. It's this single-mindedness that gets Gan killed, and it's fair to say that after this event, Blake's leadership is never as strong again.
A hopeless idealist, it's Blake's almost naive trust in people that begins to let him down. Often outsiders will be taken at face value, and Jenna's loyalty is never once suspected by him.
However, Blake's growing fanaticism, coupled with his misplaced trust in Avon are what eventually lead to his ultimate downfall. Testing Tarrant with psychological games, Blake angers a paranoid, nearly insane Avon, who shoots him in cold blood.
