Jurgen Warmbrunn, director of Mossad, served as the "tenth man." When Israeli intelligence intercepted communications referring to "zombies," everybody assumed that this was code for something else. As the designated "tenth man," it was Jurgen Warmbrunn's responsibility to investigate the contrary opinion: that the communications were referring to actual zombies. Thus, Warmbrunn directed Israeli efforts to build a wall around Jerusalem prior to the worldwide zombie outbreak, an effort which successfully shielded the city from the zombies... for a time.
United Nations investigator Gerry Lane visited Jurgen Warmbrunn in Jerusalem and thus obtained critical information which eventually helped him discover a way to defeat the zombies.
