Gustaf Zuckermandel, Jr.

Gustaf Zuckermandel, Jr. (aka: Zeke or Little Zeke) is a fictional character in the Left Behind series. He is described as a "fleshy" young man in thick-soled, square-toed, black motorcycle boots, black jeans, black T-shirt, and black leather vest.^[1] He is the only son of Gustaf Zuckermandel Sr. (aka: "Big Zeke"). Zeke and his father were first introduced in Assassins

After 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 at their gas station. They started going to a secret church in Arlington Heights and running a black market gas station. Zeke became a disguise specialist|master forger for the Tribulation Force and later joined them in Chicago, after his dad was arrested for black marketeering.^[1] He transformed Chaim Rosenzweig into Micah in Desecration. He was one of the few believers left alive when Christ, with his armies, 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 Smith 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.
