Zachary Ellison is a well-spoken journalist, a Trojan, and a whistleblower. He spent years at USC as a grad student and was quickly hired as a university staffer.

When he saw something was wrong, he tried to have it resolved and eventually called it out. He was summarily terminated.

Zachary also closely watches local Los Angeles politics and convincingly intertwines USC with City Hall in a way that may lead to the source of the infamous leak that ended the political career of the council president.
