Escaped prisoner (Lamar Khaate Palace)

During a guerilla offensive in the Soviet-Afghan war in 1984, this prisoner had escaped the Lamar Khaate Palace area.

As a result of his escape, he was also being pursued by a four-man Soviet search team, although the leader of the Private Force Diamond Dogs, Venom Snake (who had been in the area as part of a mission to take out several Soviet mechanized reinforcements while the prisoner's fellow guerillas were doing an operation at the same time), managed to intercept and rescue the prisoner before they could corner and summarily execute him.

Behind the scenes
The Escaped prisoner was one of six prisoners found in the mission "Back Up, Backdown." As his name implied, the prisoner had escaped before the events of the mission. Rescuing him before the Soviet search team corners and kills him accomplishes the related mission task.
