Tom Clancy's The Division 2[]
Sumner was part of Bardon Schaeffer's original squad and helped in sabotaging the SHD Network, causing the blackout. While assessing the situation on D.C., he briefed his boss about the Hyenas. He recommended supplying the Hyenas, as he believed they'll be a thorn in everyone's side, but not dangerous enough to be a problem in the long-term.
After the failures from Milla "Wyvern" Radek and Petrus Brenner, Sumner was transferred to a unit led by Dolores Jones in New York, becoming her direct subordinate.
Coney Island[]
Elijah Sumner was at Coney Island to guard and oversee the transfer of Russian Virologist, Vitaly Tchernenko. When the Division received intel about Tchernenko's whereabouts, they sent a surveillance drone to Coney Island and confirmed the virologist, though Sumner saw the drone and shot it down.
Division agents went to Coney Island to retrieve Tchernenko. With the assistance of Cindy McAllister, they fought their way throughout the Ballpark against Black Tusk forces. Despite constant demands to stop the agents, they managed to make their way to Tchernenko, who was held in quarantine at the stadium.
Sumner made his way and fought the agents. Despite his armor and equipment, the agents gunned him down, rescuing Tchernenko and extracting him.
