"Ah, Mr. Stark! Ho Yinsen. Nice to meet you."
―(Iron Man 3) Yinsen to Tony Stark during the Bern Switzerland Science Conference.

Dr. Ho Yinsen was the man who saved Tony Stark's life by taking most of the shrapnel out of his heart, and fitting an electro-magnet powered by a car battery to prevent the rest penetrating his heart.

He was held hostage by the Ten Rings in a cave along with Tony to build weapons. However, he and Tony secretly built a large suit of armor, called the Mark I to make a getaway. When their plan was discovered too early, Yinsen bought time by chasing them with a G36C Assault Riffle.

However, he soon ran into over a dozen terrorists and he was fatally wounded. When Tony, now in the armor, caught up, Yinsen asked him to leave him there, as he wished to die and be reunited with his family in the afterlife, but not before reminding Tony not to waste his life.

As seen in Iron Man 3, Tony originally met Yinsen before the capture, but is likely he does not remember him; Yinsen, however, recalls their earlier meeting in Switzerland. This was the exact party he met and lied to Aldrich Killian.
