Mitchell Ellison

G. Ellison is the editor in chief at the New York Bulletin who worked closely alongside Ben Urich until Urich's death.

Kidnapped Boy
When a young boy was rescued by a mysterious man in a mask after being kidnapped, Ellison personally wrote the story about the incident for the New York Bulletin, telling the readers that they boy was now safe and sound and returned to his family.

Controlling Ben Urich
Ellison visited Ben Urich in his office to discuss his projects for the paper, he found Urich on the phone to insurance companies in an attempt to help with his wife's medical bills. Ellison and Urich discussed Urich's pitch for a new spread in the paper, about a new crime Kingpin in Hell's Kitchen who had control over the Russians and was connected to the Union Allied Construction scandal. Ellison told him that it would not sell papers and suggested that he stop writing stories about gang violence and consider moving to another department and write about social events, such as whether or not Hell's Kitchen would get a new subway line. Urich reluctantly agreed and Ellison promised to help with his wife's medical cover.

War in Hell's Kitchen
When he received a call from the local law enforcements, Ellison called for an emergency meeting with all his safe and informed them of a series of explosions within Hell's Kitchen, with Ellison claimed to be most likely due to gas leaks. Ellison gave his journalists their tasks to investigate the story before Ben Urich asked to find out the locations of the explosions, Ellison informed him to the locations and Urich informed him that all the buildings involved were controlled by the Russian mafia before he left to learn more.

Phonecall with Urich
A few days later, Ellison sent Ben Urich to investigate a possible lead on a story. Urich called Ellison after he met with the man and told him that the lead was useless and the man he'd spoken to was crazy and had been wearing a tin-foil hat. Before they could continue speaking, Urich hung up as he claimed to be drowning in the rain and could not get into his car.

Job Offer
Ellison was informed that Ben Urich had given a piece he had ben assigned to write about a fundraiser over to another journalist. When he went to ask Urich about it, he found him in his office looking over brochures for nursing homes for his wife. When Ellison asked him why he had passed on the story, Urich told him that it was for personal reasons, which Ellison did not question. Changing the subject, Ellison informed Urich that one of the New York Bulletin's editors was retiring to spend time with his grandchildren and Ellison asked if Urich would be interested in replacing him, as it would offer Urich a higher salary to support his wife. Urich turned down the offer, claiming that he was and always would be a reporter, not an editor but thanked Ellison none the less.

Firing Ben Urich
Ellison took a few hours off work to attend his son's chello performance at his school, when he returned to work he found that Ben Urich had written a piece about Wilson Fisk, claiming Fisk was the criminal Kingpin running the many crime rings in Hell's Kitchen. Ellison refused to print the story as he claimed it had zero evidence to support it's claims, which caused Urich to lose his temper and call Ellison and himself whores for selling out. Ellison suspended Urich for this insult, but Urich continued to push the story, claiming Fisk would continue killing. When Ellison refused to print the story again, Urich accused him of being paid off by Fisk, claiming this to be the reason why Ellison would never print his stories. Ellison told Urich that his crime stories were shit and fired him on the spot.

Ben Urich's Death
Shortly after being fired by Ellison, Ben Urich was murdered in his home by an attacker, who had strangled him to death. Ellison attended the funeral of his former friend and showed his respects to Doris Urich, Ben's widow, although Ellison could not help but notice that Karen Page was staring at him with accusing eyes as she blamed him for Urich's untimely death.

The Leak Revealed
Ben Urich's many theories were proved correct, when corrupt police officer Carl Hoffman confessed to his many crimes and exposed Wilson Fisk's entire criminal empire, leading to the arrests of anyone connected to Fisk. While in the office of the New York Bulletin, Ellison looked on in horror as the FBI stormed inside and arrested his secretary, who had been leaking Urich's stories and intel to Fisk's people. Realising that his Urich had been right the entire time and he had let down and betrayed his friend, Ellison could only bow his head in shame.
