Ezekiel Sanders

Ezekiel "Zeke" Sanders, born Ezekiel Sandoval, is a character in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. He is a former marine turned anti-augmentation extremist and leader of the radical organization Purity First.

Early life
Born Ezekiel Sandoval in 1990 in El Gato, Mexico, to Paulo and Conception Sandoval. He had three siblings. Sanders moved with his family to the US and changed his name to Zeke Sanders. Later, Sanders joined the U.S. Marine Corps and participated in the Persian Gulf Conflicts where he served two tours. In the first, he lost his left eye.

He re-enlisted under the Recycle Military Bill, and the government replaced his eye with a Retinal Prosthesis. His activities during his second tour were highly classified and he was eventually discharged under the Cessation Act. After being released from service he attacked the Glendale Shopping Center in Los Angeles, resulting in a siege and hostage situation. There were 13 injuries but no deaths, and Sanders was diagnosed on-site with post-traumatic acute dissociation. He was taken into medical custody at the Neuroprosthetic Rehabilitation Center near Camp Topaz, Utah. Six months later Sanders was declared cured and released.

However, Sanders felt that the augmented eye was responsible for the traumatic acts he experienced in the war and removed it, hence the eyepatch. He founded the radical purist organization know as Purity First to end all forms of human augmentation.

2027
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. If the player let Zeke live, he will be an enemy that Adam can kill or knock out while trying to find Isaias Sandoval.
