**Ezekiel** was a camper on Total Drama Island as a member of the Killer Bass. He did not qualify for Total Drama Action, but was a contestant on Total Drama World Tour as a member of Team Victory. 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 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. He later makes a cameo appearance in Total Drama: Wayne Hotel.

## Personality

Ezekiel is a naïve country boy who was homeschooled at his farm. 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 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 one and his failure to compete at all in season two. 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.

## Total Drama Island

Immediately upon his arrival in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, Ezekiel makes an odd first impression by answering Chris' "What's up?" with "I think I see a bird," thinking it is a literal question. Chris acknowledges the fact that Ezekiel has been homeschooled all his life, explaining his lack of knowledge of the real world and social skills. Chris advises Ezekiel to not really say much and to avoid getting voted off too early. Ezekiel is selected to be on the Killer Bass.

Ezekiel performs decently in the first challenge in Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, although he hits a rock while jumping off the thousand-foot cliff. Despite this, he is seen landing in the safe zone. After his team lost, Ezekiel unintentionally puts a target on himself even by questioning how his team lost, as the other team had more girls. This angers the females on his team, especially Eva and Bridgette. Geoff calms the girls down, but Ezekiel further angers them by saying that men are also smarter than women. This ultimately seals his fate as the first person to be eliminated on Total Drama and sparing Courtney. While Chris admits that he isn't surprised to see Ezekiel eliminated, he believes that the main reason was because of his nose-picking habit.

Ezekiel is not seen again until much later at Playa Des Losers in Haute Camp-ture, now portraying a rapper with a gangster-like personality, and seems to have fit in with some of the other campers. He is also seen trying to get close to Bridgette several times when they are both in the hot tub, but, finally, gives up after she bonks him on the head. When Courtney complains about her elimination, Ezekiel tries to calm her down only for her to beat him with a lamp post.

Ezekiel, along with all of the other previously eliminated contestants, appears in The Very Last Episode, Really! He chooses to side with Owen from the beginning even before he announces the party he is going to hold if he wins. When Owen wins in his ending, he hugs both Harold and Ezekiel by the neck.

 File:Alliance with Beth.png  In Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, Ezekiel is partnered with Lindsay and Beth under the condition of him treating them with respect. At one point, he attempts to tell the girls that he had found the case, though they ignored him as they are too busy talking to each other. When Lindsay is able to pinpoint the case's new location, Ezekiel compliments her. Near the end of the episode, Ezekiel was covered by Justin's parachute, causing him to fail to reach the dock in time and is not eligible to compete on Total Drama Action like Beth and Lindsay.

## Total Drama Action

Ezekiel is shown to be a commentator/spectator on the talk show, Total Drama Aftermath, in the peanut gallery of rejected losers. Ezekiel does very little, aside from reacting to the events in the show. However, in The Aftermath: II, he claps in agreement to Geoff's states about "money being more important than having integrity".

In Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, Ezekiel attempts to show off his new rapper persona while being interviewed by Celebrity Manhunt. As he attempts to speak in slang, he gets tangled up in the chain and falls over. His bull, seemingly attracted by the sound of his chains, kisses him. After the doors to the Gemmie Awards are closed, Duncan believes that he is still able to survive on the streets to which Ezekiel claims he could too. As he makes this statement, a hobo steals his wallet while he is not looking. Ezekiel joins the others chasing the Total Drama Dirtbags and remains with the bus while Geoff looks for help. After being rescued by Chris, Ezekiel is among those who qualify for season three. In his first ever confessional, Ezekiel, in his rapper persona, attempts to celebrate being on another season by rapping but ended up falling out of the chair.

## Total Drama World Tour

Ezekiel returns to the competition much more confident than before, more than ready to redeem himself from coming in last in Total Drama Island. However, he also comes across as more annoying to the other contestants, with Chris in particular beginning to develop a special amount of hatred towards him rather quickly. Eventually, when Chris is constantly being interrupted by Ezekiel about how he won't get eliminated while he is explaining the elimination procedures, Ezekiel is thrown out of the plane, with Chris stating he is officially eliminated from the competition. However, right before the plane manages to take off, Ezekiel gets back into the plane, managing to get in a singing line in Come Fly With Us, and reappears right before the first challenge begins. Even though Chris said he was still eliminated, he allows him to participate in the challenge. He is the last one to cross the finish line after Izzy unknowingly carries him out of the pyramid. Chris still considers him eliminated initially, but because Duncan quit the competition, he is allowed to be on Team A after begging Chris to stay.

During the song, his off-beat line rendered the purpose of the song useless, causing the scarabs to attack the cast. While Ezekiel doesn't do much during the first part of the challenge, during the reprise, Harold says that the best way to defeat a crocodile is to bop it on the nose. Ezekiel follows Harold's advice in an effort to help his team, but the crocodile ends up eating the stick instead. This causes Team Victory to lose and, despite his newly found confidence and being allowed another chance, Ezekiel once again is the first one voted out in Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2. After he is thrown off, he grabs onto the plane's tail wing, saying that he isn't going anywhere and that the competition is his.

Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan reveals that Ezekiel has managed to get back onto the plane after the events of the previous episode and starting from here Ezekiel appears occasionally in the background. While Team Amazon is looking for props for their commercial, they see Ezekiel in the background, who then retreats behind the crates, freaking them out. Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better shows him watching two rats retreat from a small trapdoor within the plane. Footage from Aftermath: Bridgette Over Troubled Water in their "Total Drama Fugitives" section shows that Owen had seen Ezekiel hanging upside down the plane's wing very briefly and Chris saw a shadow of him coming from the steam in his hot tub, but when he grabbed a baseball bat, he disappeared into the steam.

After not appearing for a while, Ezekiel reappears in Newf Kids on the Rock twice. The first is when, after Chef pushes Heather out of the plane, Ezekiel appears behind the crates. The exclusive clip after the episode also features Owen pulling him out of a pot in Newfoundland. After they both scream, Owen closes the pot lid. During Team Victory's last elimination ceremony in the following episode, Ezekiel is present at their ceremony, albeit behind an umbrella. The "Total Drama Fugitives" segment of Aftermath: Revenge of the Telethon shows Ezekiel pouncing on a mouse before he runs up to the camera.

Apparently being discovered by Chef Hatchet in the cargo hold, Ezekiel takes the role of Jack the Ripper during the challenge in I See London..., with the promise that if he could capture all the contestants, he would be let back into the competition. He manages to catch Alejandro before the challenge begins as well as Sierra, Cody, Tyler, and Heather once the challenge begins. However, once he corners Noah, he is taken down by guard dogs that Owen releases on him. When Chris reveals that he was Jack the Ripper, he is shown to have had several changes to his appearance, namely bloodshot eyes, green skin, a chipped off ear, and disheveled teeth. He also appears unable to speak English, only making animal noises. For failing to capture all the contestants, Ezekiel is thrown out of the plane by Chef Hatchet, but he manages to grab onto the wheel and eventually sneak back onto the plane.

After I See London..., Ezekiel appearances are more frequent and generally more noticeable. When Chris is introducing the challenge in Greece's Pieces, Ezekiel appears under the table under a trapdoor briefly. He is shown in the co-pilot's seat at the start of The EX-Files when the aliens start attacking the plane, and he prevents the landing gear from being deployed in Picnic at Hanging Dork. He is seen in the cargo hold in both Sweden Sour and Niagara Brawls, with him briefly appearing behind a set of crates while Alejandro and Heather are conversing down there in the former and stealing cheese from a mouse in the start of the latter. He is almost spotted in the latter, but since all the contestants were asleep, he manages to escape.

While Ezekiel is seen at the beginning of Chinese Fake-Out trying to steal some of the cake Duncan and Courtney won in the previous challenge, nobody knows he is on the plane until his cover is blown at the end of the episode when Blaineley reveals that Ezekiel is still in the plane. As a result, Ezekiel is once again used as part of the challenge in African Lying Safari. Ezekiel is now shown to have lost his toque, shoes (which reveals his feet have become three-toed and clawed), and all but a few long strands of his hair. In addition, his pupils have become smaller and his teeth are even more disheveled than before. After unintentionally rescuing Alejandro and Duncan from quicksand, he doesn't appear again until Alejandro covers Duncan in Serengeti blood berries, which causes him to emerge from the water and attack Duncan. After getting tranquilized, Chris tries to get out of the area as fast as possible to make sure Ezekiel doesn't get back on the plane, but he still gets back into the plane from the top. Returning to his cameo appearances, he is shown behind a curtain in economy class in the next episode.

Ezekiel is among the animals that escape the plane's destruction in Awwwwww, Drumheller and is placed into a crate to be transferred to Mexico. Alejandro agrees to let him out if he behaves, with Alejandro describing him as his little brother to the conductor. After unleashing Ezekiel on Heather, he vanishes for a while until Alejandro is pushed off of the train, where he prepares to attack her. Despite Heather's efforts, he manages to knock her out of the plane window. After the events of the episode, he makes his way towards Hawaii, knowing the money is there, eventually getting to the top of the volcano when the winner of the season is revealed. He then attacks Chris or Heather (depending on the ending), managing to steal the case from them, but falls into the lava, submerging with the case still in his hand. Ezekiel is shown to have survived this ordeal, however, when he is launched from the volcano into Chris and Chef's boat, which causes it to sink.

## Total Drama: Revenge of the Island

In Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!, Ezekiel appears on the yacht with the other veterans, still in his deranged, feral form. He is chained up to and crouching on the prow of the yacht, the wind blowing what little hair he has left and his tongue hanging out wildly like a dog.

In A Mine Is a Terrible Thing to Waste, Ezekiel appears in the mines as king of the mutant gophers. Finding Anne Maria attractive, he kidnaps her and takes her back to his lair where he presents her with various gifts, including the prize money from last season, which had been reduced to ash. He eventually gives her a massive diamond, which she believes is real and thus worth much more than the million dollars. Later, Ezekiel attacks Lightning when he tries to retrieve the golden statues on his throne. Lightning, however, eventually fought back and strapped his backpack containing a bomb onto Ezekiel before kicking him down a tunnel. Shortly afterward, the mine was destroyed in the ensuing explosions, trapping Ezekiel who is still inside. Later that night, Anne Maria quits the show, believing that she is now rich, only for Chris to reveal it as a fake. She changed her mind and frantically tried to climb out, but was launched off with Brick.

In The Enchanted Franken-Forest, Ezekiel reappears after being trapped in the mine since its demolition. He finally climbs to the top of a mineshaft and pushes aside several pieces of debris, relieved to finally be out. However, Lightning trips over Ezekiel and unknowingly knocks Ezekiel right back down into the mine.

By Brain vs. Brawn: The Ultimate Showdown, Ezekiel finally escapes the mines and appears with the other mutated monsters that were accidentally unleashed into the arena. Ezekiel jumped in to save Anne Maria from a mutant squirrel by knocking it aside. In return, he tried to get a kiss from her, only to frighten her. Cameron knocks him unconscious with a frying pan, saving Anne Maria.

## Total Drama All-Stars

Ezekiel reappears in Heroes vs. Villains. He is first seen being dropped from the helicopter by Chef and is introduced as the fourteenth contestant of the season. Just as Ezekiel is about to fall on the other contestants, Chris states that he was only kidding about him being a contestant. The Robot then attaches a plunger to Ezekiel's chest and launches him far away from the island.

Ezekiel appears again in Zeek And Ye Shall Find, where he crashes Chris's one hundredth episode party and kidnaps Chris. Intending to take revenge on the host for all the humiliation and abuse he has put him through in the past, he takes him to the abandoned mine and ties him up above a vat of toxic waste. As a side effect of being exposed to radioactive waste for so long, Ezekiel can now spit acid. Throughout the episode, he takes out several of the contestants who have been sent by Chef Hatchet to look for Chris. After he has captured most of the contestants, Cameron, Gwen and Chef arrive, with the latter attempting to free Chris before being knocked out by Ezekiel. Cameron attempts to distract Ezekiel, who spits acid at the roof and causes a cave in that crushes Cameron. However, Gwen uses Chef's bazooka to entrap Ezekiel. However, as soon as Gwen frees Cameron, Ezekiel disappears.

The exclusive clip shows that Ezekiel manages to escape the mines by digging his way to the Fun Zone at Boney Island. When he reach ground level, he is surrounded by many of the island's mutated creatures and tries to offer them the 100th-anniversary cake. The mutants then lift Ezekiel and celebrate with him, much to Ezekiel's happiness.

* Ezekiel is confirmed to have liver spots, 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.

	+ Both also fall into a volcano after finally retrieving the object that they desire.
