Biography[]
He was an al-Qaeda fighter who was the sole survivor of the compound Brody was rescued from. He was Brody's guard during his captivity and frequently tortured and humiliated him. After Hamid is detained, Saul interrogates him, but is interrupted when he receives word that his wife Mira has returned from India.
Brody requests a face-to-face, during which Hamid provokes him into physically attacking him. Hamid later commits suicide in his cell using a razor blade, which Carrie suspects was slipped to him by Brody during their scuffle. From video footage she sees that Brody pulled him into a "blind spot", which could explain how he came to possess the razor blade, which was found with him when his body was discovered.
