Ezekiel Sanders

Ezekiel " Zeke" Sanders, born Ezekiel Sandoval, is a character in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Background
Born Ezekiel Sandoval in 1990 in El Gato, Mexico, he moved with is family to America and changed his name to Zeke Sanders. Later, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps and participated in the Persian Gulf Conflicts where he served two tours. During one tour, he lost his left eye.

The government, under the Recycle Military Bill, replaced it with a Retinal Prosthesis. However, he felt that the augmented eye was making him do the horrible things he did in the war and removed it, hence the patch. Later, he joined the purist organization know as Purity First to end all forms of human augmentation.

Gameplay
Within the gameplay the player, Adam, will be given a variety of choices upon confronting Zeke in the main office. The player can choose to let Zeke free or shoot Zeke, both of which will result in a dead hostage. The third option is to attempt to talk to Zeke to prevent his murder of the hostage. The player is given the options of using a "humble" option, which berates Zeke, a "reason" option, where the player tries to reason with Zeke, and a "empathize" option, where the player compliments Zeke. There are only two ways to free the hostage, through complete empathy or reason. Any other combination will lead to Zeke killing the hostage. The video in the bottom "videos" section displays all options talked about above.

There is a second way to save the hostage and kill Zeke at the same time. If you choose to fight Zeke and then immediately shoot him before he shoots the hostage then the Hostage doesn't die, and you get the reward for saving her. You can also take him down with a stun blow, or lethal if you wish, but unfortunetely this can only be done after he kills the hostage as the take-down moves don't show up before after he pulled the trigger.

Human Revolution
Zeke and his men stage a hostile takeover of a Sarif Industries plant in Milwaukee, possessing an abnormally strong knowledge of the building and its security systems. Adam Jensen is sent in by David Sarif to resolve the situation, though Sarif's priority is to secure the prototype Typhoon Explosive System augmentation. Jensen however manages to rescue the hostages on the manufacturing level, and later faces Sanders in the admin building. Zeke takes Josie Thorpe hostage, but Adam is able to convince him to let her go, and informs Sanders that the hacker in his group, who tried to steal the Typhoon data, was augmented, and allows Zeke to leave. Later on, he meets with Jensen in secret near Sarif HQ in Detroit, where he gives Jensen a pocket secretary with several access codes and other information, which proves useful in upcoming mission in Highland Park.
