Gustaf Zuckermandel, Jr.

Gustaf Zuckermandel, Jr., also known as Zeke, is a fictional character in the Left Behind series. He is the only son of Gustaf Zuckermandel (known as "Big Zeke").

Having lost his mother and two younger sisters in a fire the night of the rapture, he and his father were converted by a trucker stopping for gas. They started going to a secret church in Arlington Heights after that while running a black market gas station. Zeke became a disguise specialist for the Trib Force and later joined them after his dad was arrested. He transformed Chaim Rosenzweig into Micah in Desecration. He was one of the few believers left alive when Christ returned to earth. Shortly after, he is reunited with his father, who returned from heaven with the armies of Christ.

He appears twice, albeit briefly, in the final novel, Kingdom Come, when he gives Abdullah advice on how to go about infiltrating The Other Light, and later when both he and his father are present at Mac McCullum's thousandth birthday party.
