Profile
Ezekiel is a 45 year old 6 feet tall man with blonde hair which stretches down his face and chin into a very long blonde beard which folds inwards to make a point down his chest. He has light brown eyes and wears a sand and brown coloured hat which resembles a sombrero. In The Devil's Playground, Ezekiel wears a light blue shirt with brown stockings which lead down to his trousers. He weighs 149 pounds and his blood type is A-. It is known that Ezekiel wears boots and can ride horses well, which was probably learnt from his Amish community.

Role in Case(s)
Ezekiel was an Amish farmer and the father of Hannah Hersberger and Isaac Hersberger. At the end of the case, he was arrested for the murder of Tom Blackwater after all the proofs pointed towards him. He told the team that Tom wanted to buy his land and was also in love with Hannah. The victim wanted to take Hannah away from the Amish community, but Ezekiel couldn't let this happen. One day in the Amish farm, Ezekiel confronted Tom and the victim boasted about how much Hannah loved him and that she would choose him over Ezekiel any day. This angered Ezekiel to the fullest and he jumped on a horse and chased him with a pitchfork. Ezekiel strung up the victim like a scarecrow to symbolise that he wanted the non-Amish to stay away. Ezekiel called the outside world "The Devil's Playground" and hated the outside world. He wanted Tom's scarecrow death to symbolise outsiders to be scared off.
