deserter's
One who fled's
Deserter's is the possessive form of deserter, a person who abandons a duty, post, or cause—most commonly a soldier who leaves military service without permission.
The possessive marks something belonging to or associated with such a person: the deserter's trail led into the mountains, a deserter's fate was often execution.
The term carries strong connotations of betrayal and cowardice, though deserters may flee for reasons ranging from moral objection to simple self-preservation.
