Ezra Rosenbaum

International financier supported economical interests in quiet partnership between the United States and Great Britain.  Imprisoned at Auschwitz at the age of ten Ezra survived through sacrifices made by strangers.  Whether it was rations or a shirt to cover his emaciated body from cold, Ezra never forgot.  He spent the rest of his life is support of Human Rights as being one of the most altruistic philanthropist in New York City.

Jack’s final assignment was to provide security for Ezra.  At a summit in South Africa Ezra was approached by a former survivor with information of an elaborate plan to reduce global population through war, created epidemic and soft kill.  Ezra called upon his friend/body guard to investigate these allegations against the most powerful nations in the world.

With proof of these horrendous acts upon humanity, and an upcoming economical submit at the United Nations, Ezra prepared for the presentation.  He was scheduled to report on global economics instead he would bring to light propagated genocide.  Which began on the citizens of Africa through the guise of small pox inoculation infested with the aids virus.

A healthy man, Ezra was not under a physicians care.  His short brick stature, wiry, thick, gray hair and deep brown eyes, were clear in the picture of health.  Each day he would walk five miles except the day of the meeting.  Ezra was the first keeper to die.  The microchip of death would be held in secret for nine years.
