An unnamed soldier who, like the players, must consume the awful boiled leather belt soup. He is one of the many figures around the pot who eagerly awaits his share. He likely helps ladle the soup or line up for it. He does not complain about the taste or texture, accepting it as necessary for survival. He represents the desperate reality of the march where even belts become food. His simple act of drinking the soup reinforces the theme of endurance and the shared experience of deprivation. He is a background character who nevertheless participates in one of the most memorable and visceral scenes in the game.
