On February 7, 2008, [[primatechpaper.com]] was updated to show Drucker's file, which is rich with Drucker's personal history. The file traces his origins in as an orphan in a [[Monasterio de la Cruz|monastery]], his obsession with revolutionaries, and the manifestation of his [[ability]] to [[EDT|hear and interpret all forms of communication signals]]. Drucker eventually earned a sizable fortune by pioneering the Internet. When Drucker vanished "off the grid" in the 1980s, [[Bob Bishop]] went to [[Bhutan]] to find him, but could not locate him since Drucker had become, like his niece [[Hana Gitelman]], "a kind of computer program crawling through the world's systems." He was [[lightning|vaporized]] by [[Elle Bishop]]. The file's psychological profile notes Drucker's passion, anger, high intelligence, and unresolved feelings of abandonment. However, Drucker was able to find solace in Zen and Hindu thinking. He met [[Charles Deveaux]] and was introduced to [[the Company's founders]], but his ideals ran counter to theirs and he moved in a different direction.
====Assignment Tracker 2.0====
On February 7, 2008, [[primatechpaper.com]] updated it's assignment tracker case files. Drucker's case file contains a personal history:
{{message|Born David Rooijker during [[WWII]], Richard Drucker's [[Ruth Meisner|mother]] was allegedly a dancer and [[Rooijker|his father]] a resistance fighter, though neither of these facts has been confirmed. With the death of his parents, Drucker was brought up in a [[Monasterio de la Cruz|Monastery]], eventually landing in [[Argentina]] after the war.


{{seealsoat|file=A012 |password=RDghxiia}}
As a child, he was obsessed with revolutionaries and felt that it would be his destiny to become one himself. Like many would-be revolutionaries, Drucker had issues with rage and anger, which were intensified by feelings of abandonment typical of children orphaned at a young age. A college brush with Zen and Hindu philosophy tempered his violent streak, but not his revolutionary zeal, a zeal that only grew when his [[ability]] to [[EDT|hear and interpret all forms of communication signals]] first manifested.


===[[Global News Interactive]] Videos===
Drucker became part of the core team first tasked by the U.S. government to create a nationwide communications network. This network grew into today's Internet, an industry in which Drucker earned a sizable fortune. Sometime in the 1980s, while doing business in [[India]], Drucker vanished "off the grid" and was not heard from again until communications were intercepted coming from the Kingtom {{sic}} of [[Bhutan]]. [[Company]] operative [[Bob Bishop]] was dispatched to locate Drucker, but only succeeded in turning up Drucker's long time personal pilot and confidant, [[Hampton Connolly]].
A series of Global News Interactive videos posted on [[Hana's website]] features a documentation of the life of Richard Drucker. Drucker is referred to as the "godfather of the internet", and a man who is rumored to be worth billions. Reporters cover his early life, including the time he spent in a [[Monasterio de la Cruz|monastery]] in [[Seville|Spain]]. The report traces Drucker's alignment with revolutionaries in [[Argentina]], a secret society at the [[University of Virginia]], and a [[the Company's founders|group of friends]] with like ideals, including his friendship with [[Charles Deveaux]] and their shared interest in the [[jazz]] clubs of [[New York City]]. The GNI team notes that in [[1977]], Drucker split and moved to [[Bangalore]], where he is credited with helping the city in their rapid ascent into the global marketplace. Finally, an exclusive interview with Drucker's old friend, [[Zhang Yang]], expounds on the type of person Drucker is. Yang asserts that in the 1980s, Drucker was looking for someone to help him change the world through a system of global communication. Yang says Drucker's vision was a world of freedom, knowledge and communication--a digital revolution. Drucker's current whereabouts, according to the Global News Interactive team, are unknown: some say he now resides in [[Bhutan]] while others say he is dead.


''For more information about Global News Interactive and the four-part report on Richard Drucker, see '''[[Global News Interactive]]'''.
Drucker was presumed dead, but further investigation revealed he had become, like [[Hana Gitelman]], a kind of computer program crawling through the world's systems. Detected by [[Matt Neuenberg]] (see case file C025), Drucker and Hana were both completely [[lightning|vaporized]] by [[Elle Bishop]] and no longer pose any threat to Company dealings.


===[[A Hero's Quest]]===
Please see [[GNI]] news report for more on Richard Drucker and his connection to [[Charles Deveaux]]. Video footage is archived in four parts.}}
In [[:Image:Thompson_PF364.jpg|a roster]] posted on [[A Hero's Quest]], [[Eric Thompson, Sr.]], is listed as going to Thimpu, [[Bhutan]], for business related to Drucker.


==[[Evolved Human]] [[Electronic communication|Abilities]]==
The case file also includes a psychological profile:
[[Image:AT diagram Drucker.jpg|thumb|right]]
{{message|As a youth, Drucker was filled with the twin pillars of passion and anger. His high intelligence led him to see evils everywhere and his intrinsic passion gave him the desire to do something about it. At the same time, he suffered for years with unresolved feelings of abandonment typical of a parentless child. While he outgrew some of these tendencies after finding solace in Zen and Hindu thinking, there quite possibly remained an undercurrent of anger at a world he perceived to be unjust.
[[Image:cranial imaging Drucker.jpg|thumb|right|Cranial imaging]]

Richard Drucker had the [[ability]], like [[Hana]], to "[[Electronic communication|intercept, generate, and interpret electronic, digital, and radio transmissions]]" with his mind. According to Drucker's [[assignment tracker]] file at [[primatechpaper.com]], Drucker's control index was 90%. His data analysis shows his biological level at 30, cerebral at 85, elemental at 20, and temporal/spatial at 5.<br clear=all>
In [[New York City]], Drucker met [[Charles Deveaux]] who introduced the young man to [[the Company's founders|founding members]] of this [[Company]]. Their ideals ran counter to his and he moved in a different direction, though we know that he kept tabs on The Company over the years just as much as The Company kept tabs on him until his disappearance in [[India]] in the late 1980s.}}

===Global News Interactive Videos===
A series of Global News Interactive videos posted on [[Hana's website]] features [[Ngozi Badu]], [[Alistair Coles]], [[Layla Jesrani]], and [[Charlie Svenson]], all of whom document the life of Richard Drucker. [http://www.samantha48616e61.com/popups/GNI.shtml?mea=190838 Part one] refers to Drucker as an orphan, the "godfather of the internet", and a man who is rumored to be worth billions. The report claims he was born in 1943 during [[World War II]]. He was known as David and was born to [[Ruth Meisner]] and a freedom fighter named [[Rooijker]].

[http://www.samantha48616e61.com/popups/GNI.shtml?mea=193700 Part two] of the GNI news piece, covering his early life, reveals that when his mother was captured and interred at [[Auschwitz]] in [[1944]], he was left for dead in a forest. His father found him and smuggled him into [[Spain]] and left him on the steps of a [[Monasterio de la Cruz|monastery]]. After the war [[1945|ended]], no one came to claim him, so the monastery sent him overseas to [[Argentina]], where he was adopted by the Vasquez family. Ricardo, his adoptive father, gave him the name "Drucker", combining the names on the monastery papers: Don Rucker was a phonetic misspelling of Rooijker's name.

In Argentina, Drucker was well-educated and was active in the revolutionary spirit of the times. Believing that mass communication was the key to changing the world, he aligned himself with a group of young revolutionaries whose goal it was to improve the education of South America's poorest citizens. His motto became "Democratize survival!"

The documentary also shows and explains severals items previously discovered by [[Micah]] at [[Corinthianlasvegas.com]]:
* Portions of [[Corinthianlasvegas.com#October 24, 2007|crayon drawings]] he made at a young age contained wavy lines in the sky (The documentary notes them as evidence of Drucker's fascination with the world of mass communication at a young age. They are also marked with the [[symbol]], suggestive of knowledge of his ability.)
* A [[:Image:Hana's family tree.jpg|family tree]] linking Drucker and [[Hana]].
* A [[Corinthianlasvegas.com#October 23, 2007|manuscript]] claiming he was left orphaned in [[Germany]] and documenting his departure from [[Monasterio de la Cruz|the Spanish monastery]] to [[Argentina]].
* Portions of a [[Corinthianlasvegas.com#October 25, 2007|map]] marked suggestive of his arrival in [[Bhutan]] by [[1977]].
* A [[Corinthianlasvegas.com#October 25, 2007|poster]] of a hand holding the book ''Nuestro Futuro'', one of Drucker's political writings.

[http://www.samantha48616e61.com/popups/GNI.shtml?mea=196192 Part three] details Drucker's education and travels. From [[Argentina|South America]], Drucker traveled to Virgina, where he took up the name Richard, a nod to his adoptive father. He attended the [[University of Virginia]] where he formed a secret society, which, according to some, still exists today. During college, Drucker met [[Charles Deveaux]]. The two frequented [[jazz]] clubs in [[New York City]], where Drucker laid his foundations for a global web of communications. Additionally, he was involved in a group of friends with like ideals, but, in [[1977]], Drucker split and moved to [[Bangalore]]. In Bangalore, and other cities like it, Drucker is credited with helping them in their rapid ascent into the global marketplace.

[http://www.samantha48616e61.com/popups/GNI.shtml?mea=198127 Part four] hosts an interview with Drucker's old friend, [[Zhang Yang]], President/CEO of Yang Industries. Yang explains how Drucker was in [[India]] in the 1980s, looking for someone to help him change the world, through a system of global communication. Yang credits him with discovering the world and finding like-minded individuals who shared his visions. He says his vision was a world of freedom, knowledge and communication--a digital revolution. Saying Drucker was his [[hero]], Yang felt the need to speak out to pass on history and inspire future generations.

He is said to have invented the internet and not taken credit for it. Some reports have said Drucker now resides in [[Bhutan]] while others say he is dead. The report ends asking viewers to e-mail '''<tt>Leads@GNILeadcatcher.com</tt>''' if they have any information on the man.

===Cogitoergosum Blog===
Beginning December 10, 2007, the "Who is Richard Drucker?" [http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/evolutions/season2/season2_drucker.shtml page] at [[NBC.com]] was updated:
{{message|As of 12/10/07, Drucker has not yet responded... or has he?

([[Wikipedia: Cogito ergo sum| Cogito ergo sum]] translates to "I think, therefor I am.")

====In My Heart...====
The cogitoergosum blog's first post is dated December 05, 04:37 PM. Titled "In my heart...", the [[:Image:In my heart.jpg|letter]] says:

==== Postcard ====
On December 12, 2007, a postcard stamped from [[Bhutan]] was posted on the cogitoergosum blog. The postcard had no date or address.
{|

When this program is run on a webpage, several alert messages pop up, with the final one being the complete message:
{{message|You are playing with fire. Please stop your investigations into me!}}

====William Congreve puzzle====
Cogitoergosum was updated December 19, 2007, at 04:08 PM with a riddle. It reads:
{{message|The playwright William Congreve said that "music has charms to soothe a savage breast. To soften rocks or bend a knotted oak." I myself was once tamed a long time ago. My favorite things are still in this past even as I'm being drawn to the present.

iv7,V7(#5), i7, vii7 III7, VI7, V7(#5), i7, II7, v7, i7}}
The quote is from Act 1, Scene 1 of William Congreve's 1697 play, ''The Mourning Bride''. The code appears to be the chord progression for "Blue in Green", a Miles Davis [[jazz]] song.

Richard Drucker was a communications tycoon and a revolutionary. He was an evolved human with the ability to communicate with technology.

About

Graphic Novel:The Last Shangri-La

In a Bhutanese temple, Traveler gives someone, whom he believes to be Drucker, a message from Hana Gitelman and tells him they must be related.

Graphic Novel:The Golden Goose

In 1992, Drucker's pilot, Hampton Connolly, allows Drucker to fly a plane over the Himalaya Mountains in a strong snowstorm. The plane crashes and two parachutes engage and float to the ground. For fifteen years, Connolly lives in Bhutan. Connolly notes Drucker's belief that fate brought him there. When Bob interrogates Connolly, Connolly tells him that Drucker left Bhutan a month or two ago.

Graphic Novel:Hana and Drucker's Plot Discovered

Showing up on Matt Neuenberg's Company computer screen as a file named T. Monk, Drucker explains to Hana they're in the Company's mainframe as "Purushas," or bodiless individuals, to pull a massive viral file from Drucker's hard drive to completely destroy the Company's entire mainframe.

Graphic Novel:The End of Hana and Drucker

Inside the Company's mainframe, Drucker tries to escape the collapsing datastream with Hana. They reach a dead end, and soon accept their fates; Drucker is told by Hana they will meet again as they are seemingly deleted along with the rest of the mainframe's information.

Heroes Evolutions

Very little is known about Drucker. Hana's messages refer to him as the "mystery man". For other Heroes Evolutions content pertaining to Richard Drucker, see the cogitoergosum blog at 9thwonders.com, including the "In My Heart..." post, a mysterious postcard, and the William Congreve puzzle.

Data File

A hidden link on primatechpaper.com shows an assignment tracker. Using the password provided by Micah on corinthianlasvegas.com, users can access Richard Drucker's file by entering the user name and password on any of the assignments shown except the 12th assignment. The file kept about him is practically empty. However, his file does describe as follows:

Extreme hatred for founding members of The Company. Intelligence of the highest levels known to man. Zen-like disposition. Non-violent. Do not engage. Keep safe distance. He will know you have found him before you do. Potential to inflict serious cataclysmic damages.

DIRECTIVE: If found, continue to survey. Photographic evidence of his existence is invaluable. Last direct contact made: 1977.

A photo in his file (and a note from Hana) show that he is in Bhutan to get "off grid" and not be "affected by digital noise".

Additionally, an expense report in his file shows a total of $876,808 spent for items located in the archives section of corinthianlasvegas.com.

On February 7, 2008, primatechpaper.com was updated to show Drucker's file, which is rich with Drucker's personal history. The file traces his origins in as an orphan in a monastery, his obsession with revolutionaries, and the manifestation of his ability to hear and interpret all forms of communication signals. Drucker eventually earned a sizable fortune by pioneering the Internet. When Drucker vanished "off the grid" in the 1980s, Bob Bishop went to Bhutan to find him, but could not locate him since Drucker had become, like his niece Hana Gitelman, "a kind of computer program crawling through the world's systems." He was vaporized by Elle Bishop. The file's psychological profile notes Drucker's passion, anger, high intelligence, and unresolved feelings of abandonment. However, Drucker was able to find solace in Zen and Hindu thinking. He met Charles Deveaux and was introduced to the Company's founders, but his ideals ran counter to theirs and he moved in a different direction.

Global News Interactive Videos

A series of Global News Interactive videos posted on Hana's website features a documentation of the life of Richard Drucker. Drucker is referred to as the "godfather of the internet", and a man who is rumored to be worth billions. Reporters cover his early life, including the time he spent in a monastery in Spain. The report traces Drucker's alignment with revolutionaries in Argentina, a secret society at the University of Virginia, and a group of friends with like ideals, including his friendship with Charles Deveaux and their shared interest in the jazz clubs of New York City. The GNI team notes that in 1977, Drucker split and moved to Bangalore, where he is credited with helping the city in their rapid ascent into the global marketplace. Finally, an exclusive interview with Drucker's old friend, Zhang Yang, expounds on the type of person Drucker is. Yang asserts that in the 1980s, Drucker was looking for someone to help him change the world through a system of global communication. Yang says Drucker's vision was a world of freedom, knowledge and communication--a digital revolution. Drucker's current whereabouts, according to the Global News Interactive team, are unknown: some say he now resides in Bhutan while others say he is dead.

Notes

  • On January 18, 2008, the Richard Drucker page at NBC.com was updated to read, "In the January 7 graphic novel, a shocking revelation came to light... the man we thought was Richard Drucker was actually his personal pilot, Goose Hampton. The real Richard Drucker died in a plane crash years ago." Another update from the same day reads, "On January 10, someone sent Hana a handwritten message expressing grave concern over Goose's death and warning Hana not to base any action against The Company on revenge. But if Drucker is dead how could he have sent that note?"
  • There is much mystery surrounding Drucker's death. Hampton Connolly said that he and Drucker had been living in Bhutan for the fifteen years following their plane crash (The Golden Goose), but NBC.com explicitly says that Drucker died in the crash.
