Characters of Zak McKracken 2
A washed up reporter, a fish with expensive taste, a surgeon who cannot stand blood and a secretary who is nearly blind without her glasses: the staff of the National Infiltrator.
Zak McKracken
Once a reporter at the National Inquisitor, then savior of the world, bestselling author and ladies' man. The fame did not last. All he has left is his baby, the National Infiltrator, even though sales have hit rock bottom. Zak would rather write books, but he cannot let go of reporting: he sees a story in everything. And no, he never won Annie's heart. He still wakes up alone.
Sushi III jr.
Zak has had, how should we put it, some trouble keeping fish and already had to part with two predecessors. Sushi III jr. loves the expensive fish food from the pet shop and likes to swim in circles to watch the world go by.
Jerry Brockhaus
Jerry claims he skipped five grades and became the youngest plastic surgeon in North America. As spokesman for the Titan Cutter Knife Company he received a lifetime supply of knives. Since he cut off a little more than a patient's toenail, he cannot stand the sight of blood. Now he cuts out ads at the Infiltrator and hopes every day that he will not cut himself.
Deborah “Debbie”
Debbie knows Zak from the National Inquisitor. When she heard he was starting his own paper, she asked for a job right away, because she seems to have a soft spot for him. She spends the day at her typewriter. Her glasses are her most precious possession; without them she is almost blind. A favorite joke in the newsroom: snatching them off her nose.
