Brody's guards tortured him and left him in complete isolation for years, but Nazir treated him with kindness in order to gain his trust. Brody converted to Islam while in captivity. Under Nazir's direction, Brody severely beat Walker, believing he had killed him. The episode "Crossfire" reveals that Nazir ended Brody's torture in 2008 and brought him into his home, asking him to teach his son Issa English. Brody soon grew to love the boy as his own son. In 2009, however, Issa was killed in a drone strike while attending school. Brody helped Nazir bury his son and joined him in reciting an Islamic prayer over the child's grave. Shortly thereafter, Brody watched a television appearance by Vice President William Walden (Jamey Sheridan), who falsely claimed that no children were killed in the drone strike. Outraged, Brody swore revenge on Walden and agreed to kill him in a suicide attack.
