Suhail Akbar is a supporting antagonist in the Left Behind series. A native of Pakistan, he was a prominent member of the Global Community. He was hired by Nicolae Carpathia during the last half of the Tribulation period to be his Security and Intelligence chief in control of Peacekeepers and Morale Monitors throughout all the world regions. Jim Hickman was his predecessor. In contrast to the ineptitude of Hickman, upon hearing the appointment of Akbar, David Hassid feared he would be competent enough to stymie the Tribulation Force. Akbar was characterized as a man who is reticent and slow to voice an opinion, but someone who is loyal and effective behind the scenes.
In the dramatic audio for the kids series, during Carpathia's entrance in Jerusalem, Lionel Washington says that while has in the Morale Monitor program, they had a picture of Suhail Akbar staring up at you during every meal.
Before the Rapture, Bruce is the associate pastor at New Hope Village Church, serving with the then-senior pastor Vernon Billings.

He goes to New Hope Village Church that night and meets a few other members who were also left behind. He finds a video of the pastor explaining the Rapture, from which he learns that it is not too late to be saved, and he commits his life to God.

GAP Digital is one of the only recording studios in the United States specializing in the production of long-form audio drama. Once a staple of radio programming, long-form dramatic audio productions and talking books create an audio canvas on which listeners paint their own visual pictures.
Studio A is the primary audio tracking room in the facility, primarily because it is a large space and better suited for performance use. In addition to actor voice-over sessions, music and crowd background sound are recorded here. Studio A can accommodate about 15 performers. In an effort to create flair and personality in the space, designer John Storyk installed a dramatic, curved, built-in couch at that back of the control room.

Conversely, Euripides, while alienating his contemporaries and considered by many a distant second to Sophocles when the two of them were alive, left behind a body of drama that commanded the stage after the Classical Age. There can be little doubt why: Euripides had a knack for putting on stage eye-catching situations and creating memorable characters with extreme personality disorders. Accordingly, theatrical records show that his works were very frequently produced in later ages, outstripping both the popularity of Sophocles and Aeschylus.
