Ezekiel

Ezekiel was a camper on Total Drama Island as a member of the Killer Bass. He did not qualify for Total Drama Action, but appeared on the season's Aftermath show as a member of the peanut gallery. He was a contestant on Total Drama World Tour as a member of Team Victory; however, after his elimination, he became a stowaway aboard the Total Drama Jumbo Jet, making various cameo appearances around the inside of the plane throughout the rest of the season. He was seen with the other original contestants on a yacht in the first episode of Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, and he later had cameo appearances in "A Mine Is a Terrible Thing to Waste," "The Enchanted Franken-Forest," and "Brain vs. Brawn: The Ultimate Showdown." He later reappeared in Total Drama All-Stars, making cameo appearances in both "Heroes vs. Villains" and "Zeek and Ye Shall Find."
== Personality ==
Ezekiel is a naive country boy who was home-schooled at his farm and came with disgusting habits such as picking his nose in front of others. His lack of interaction with other kids has left him with incredibly poor social skills and a tendency to say and do things that rub people the wrong way, even if his intentions may be good. Ezekiel also has some rather warped viewpoints on life, mostly due to his parents. He initially believes that women are inferior to men and also seems to value money over his relationships. However, it appears that Ezekiel is simply repeating what his parents told him and that these are not his own ideas. Later in the series, he is seen interacting with several of the show's female contestants with no apparent animosity. Ezekiel has the dubious distinction of being the first contestant ever voted off in the show's history.
When he returns as a contestant in Total Drama World Tour, he becomes extremely determined to redeem himself for his early elimination in Season 1 and his failure to compete at all in Season 2. Unfortunately, his bad luck continues and he is voted off first yet again. 
Humiliated and angry at his former teammates, Ezekiel refuses to accept his fate and becomes a stowaway in the Total Drama Jumbo Jet, living in the cargo hold for the entire season up until the plane's destruction. Over time, this has a drastic effect on his humanity and sanity, greatly altering his physical appearance into a green, clawed, bald, and deformed creature who is no longer capable of speaking and attacks anybody he considers a threat, especially Chris.

=== Miscellaneous ===
* Although most of the contestants are from Canada, Ezekiel appears to be the closest to a stereotypical Canadian, at least prior to his mutation. He ends most of his sentences with "eh" (the only person on the show to regularly do so), wears a toque and speaks with a thick Canadian accent.
* In his biography, it is revealed that Ezekiel is not allowed to watch movies but he does watch TV.

* In "I See London...", Ezekiel is seen without his hat for the first time in the series.
* Ezekiel is confirmed to have liver spots, which is seen when he went bald, in "African Lying Safari".
** Some spots are also seen on his right hand as he is shot away from the island in "Heroes vs. Villains" and on both hands in "Zeek and Ye Shall Find", suggesting this is not a natural trait and is merely part of the various other deformities he suffered in Total Drama World Tour.
* Ezekiel is shown to still be bald in "Heroes vs. Villains", even though Sierra (who lost her hair after Ezekiel lost his) had started to grow her hair back. This suggests the loss of his hair is a permanent side effect of his transformation and will not return through natural means.
* Ezekiel has been directly or indirectly responsible for the eliminations of two characters in seasons he didn't compete in.
* Ezekiel is missing his facial hair on his Total Drama World Tour promotional picture.
* According to a bonus round clue in "Oh No U Di'n't!!!", Ezekiel once put an entire action figure up his nose.
* According to Fresh TV's defunct Tumblr account, Ezekiel's parents are aware of what happened to their son.
* It was revealed in an interview that Christian Potenza originally auditioned to voice Ezekiel, before Tom McGillis convinced him to instead voice Chris.
* It was revealed by Tom McGillis in a Q&A session that Ezekiel being the first boot in the seasons he competed was meant to be a running gag, but was surprised at how much the audience wished to see Ezekiel more and that they got mad he wasn't able to make it further in the competition.
* According to former Fresh TV community manager Julie Giles, she was told by the writers that Ezekiel's DNA is "far too scrambled" to ever return to normal, but he is pretty content with living with the Fun Zone's mutants at Boney Island.
** Despite Giles' statement, Terry McGurrin would later hint that there's a possibility for Zeke to be fixed, as Chris may have said that he couldn't be cured, but it's hard to believe him.
