Escaped prisoner (Cuba)

In 1975, a prisoner was held at the United States Naval Facility in Cuba, before escaping and eventually being rescued by Big Boss and the Militaires Sans Frontières.

Biography
The prisoner was detained at the facility's Camp Omega. During the time of Big Boss's infiltration of the camp to rescue captured ally Chico, the prisoner managed to escape from his cell and went into hiding. Two of the base personnel talked about his escape and mentioned that he was discovered and that the execution order had been given "on the down-low." Big Boss overheard this exchange after rescuing Chico. After sighting him inside of a storage shack, he ambushed the guards and knocked them out, and proceeded to rescue the prisoner. When the prisoner was found, he was still wearing a bag over his head. After a narrow escape from the base, Big Boss brought the prisoner to an evac chopper. In return, the prisoner gave Big Boss some advice on infiltrating the base's admin building.

Behind the scenes
This prisoner is a character who first appeared in the night gameplay demo for Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, first showcased in TGS 2013 and eventually given an English translation. In the demo, it was implied that the reason why the prisoner was rescued was because Snake mistook him for Chico, causing Miller to reprimand Snake for rescuing the wrong prisoner before nonetheless recruiting him into MSF due to his formidable appearance in the ending of the demo. He appears in the final version but only after rescuing Chico. In addition, Miller does not mention recruiting him but does say he could have intel. If the prisoner is rescued, he'll tell Big Boss that he can infiltrate the admin building via the drainage channel. When the mission is complete, the player will unlock Chico's fourth cassette tape and a "Rescue" trophy/achievement.
