Michael Dershinsky is one of B's followers. He is tall, clumsy and slight funny looking with big, fleshy ears, a long face, sleepy eyes and rubbery, humorous lips. He appears highly intelligent and naturally modest at the same time. Jared instinctively likes Michael when they first meet. After the explosion at the theater, Jared searches for Michael and Shirin, finally locating them at Michael's chalet twenty kilometers west of Radenau. Jared leaves the manuscript of his journal with Michael who publishes it after driving Jared and Shirin to the airport in Hamburg because he will be safe without them since Lulfre does not understand that Michael is also B.
