―Ho Yinsen to Tony Stark
Doctor Ho Yinsen (Dari: هو یینسن) was a renowned scientist and surgeon, hailing from the village of Gulmira. With his family being killed during a surge in local terrorist activity, Yinsen was captured by the Ten Rings and held captive in the Afghan mountains. When Tony Stark was also kidnapped, Yinsen was charged with attending to Stark's medical needs after he was brought in injured from an explosive. After several months in captivity, Yinsen helped Stark escape the cave by developing a suit of armor, but willingly sacrificed himself in the process to the terrorists, telling Stark not to waste his life before he died of his injuries.
―Tony Stark and Ho Yinsen
Ho Yinsen was a humble family man who was in many ways the polar opposite to Tony Stark. Quiet, unassuming and willing to sacrifice himself to save Stark, before passing away, Yinsen acknowledged that he was at peace by knowing that he would see his family again and told Stark to no longer waste his life nor the chance he had been given to redeem himself.

Later, Stark used the model for the Arc Reactor to replace the car battery with a stronger one.
