About
Graphic Novel:The Last Shangri-La
In a Bhutanese temple, Traveler gives Drucker a message from Hana Gitelman and tells him they must be related.
Heroes Evolutions
Very little is known about Drucker. Hana's messages refer to him as the "mystery man".
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.
Global News Interactive Video
A Global News Interactive video posted on Hana's website 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.
Part two of the GNI news piece, covering his early life, reveals that when his mother was captured and interred at Auschwitz, 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 monastery. After the war ended, no one came to pick him up 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, including portions of crayon drawings he made at a young age marked with the symbol; a manuscript claiming he was left orphaned in Germany and documenting his departure from the Spanish monastery to Argentina; a map marked suggestive of his arrival in Bhutan by 1977; and a poster of a hand holding the book Nuestro Futuro, one of Drucker's political writings.

Richard Drucker has the ability, like Hana, to "intercept, generate, and interpret electronic, digital, and radio transmissions" with his mind.
Notes
- The Bhutanese call their country "Druk Yul", which bears a phonetic similarity to "Drucker".
