Sarawa
The official police chief for the village of Sabray and, along with Sarawa, the person most responsible for the survival of Marcus Luttrell. Gulab is a kind, honorable man, and he and Luttrell come to like and respect one another, in spite of their language and culture barriers. Gulab risks his own life to protect Luttrell from the Taliban soldiers who menace his village, at one point refusing to give up Luttrell even when the Taliban threaten to murder his entire family. (After the publication of the book, Gulab and Luttrell reconnect and go on to have a rather fraught relationship, best described in the 2016 Newsweek article “Marcus Luttrell’s Savior, Mohammad Gulab, Claims ‘Lone Survivor’ Got It Wrong”.)
