Prisoner

The **Prisoner** is a supporting character appearing in *Night at the Gates of Hell*.

## Description

### Appearance

Prisoner is an adult Caucasian man with short dark brown hair. He is completely nude.

### Personality

Despite the predicament he finds himself in, the Prisoner seems to be remarkably cordial, level-headed, helpful and dissonantly casual. Rather ironically, he has a strong sense of decency, though his priorities are misplaced, chastising someone for swearing in front of a child, oblivious to the fact that standing stark naked in front of the same is worse in comparison. He readily provides David with potentially life-saving information and readily pledges his loyalty to him should he be freed. Prisoner will follow up to this commitment in full by standing by the group and giving his life protecting David and company as they try to undo the opening of the Gates of Hell.

### History

Nothing is known about the Prisoner's background. Prior to the arrival of David and his group, he was captured by the cult and imprisoned on the Island.

## *Night at the Gates of Hell*

### Imprisoned

After David escapes his cell in the adjacent block, the Prisoner is found in Cellblock A, clammering at the bars in the cage next to the one with revolver ammo. When spoken to, he states that he overheard David and Cap planning their escape by finding the universal cell key and asks to be freed as well, saying that he's "had a rough time" and promises that he can be of help. To prove this, Prisoner warns him to stay out of the cameras' cone of view and that they are impervious to bullets, as well as that to unlock certain doors, he must find their respective electrical panel, pointing him to the office so he can leave the prison section.

Once freed by David, Prisoner will be ecstatic, thanking his savior for not forgetting about him and tells him to meet him by the outside gate, off-handedly saying that he thought for certain that he would be left to die.

### Prepare

Prisoner accompanies the group as they retreat to the nearby church, hoping to use the cult's evil tome to reverse the zombie apocalypse. When Skeeter jokes that it's "quieter than a mute nun's pussy on Christmas morning", Prisoner tells him to watch his language with a kid around, referring to Charles. Skeeter answers that it's hypocritical for the man who's "buck ass naked swinging that damn schlong around" to talk about what's child friendly and raises the question of whether Charles even is an actual child.

When talked to, Prisoner suggests searching the church for guns and asks about the building's usage, speculating that it may have been the initial base for the cult to convert locals and that it's quite possibly where they first originated from before heading for the mainland. He is armed with a pump action shotgun and dies after the first wave, when a zombie sneaks up on him from behind and bites Prisoner in the head, eating his brains in the process.

## Trivia

* Even though Prisoner is given a shotgun in the church and wields it during the final stand, he uses a revolver in his death scene. An in-game explanation is that this is likely Charles' gun and that he ran out of shells for his primary weapon before being killed.
* Prisoner's voice actor, Paul Hikari, also voiced Father Friedstein and previously portrayed Creepy Guy in *Bloodwash*.
