The character is described as “brimming with brains, wit and bravado.” Zeke reportedly has a knack for uncovering secrets of the universe, which resulted in him being part of a space mission. When he returns to Earth, however, he finds “charred remains of his old world, tribal warfare, shifting alliances and a brutal fight for humanity’s survival.”
