With no context, there's no reason for me to not just look at this person and be like "holy shit, that dude's being tortured. I gotta help."

... Furthermore and all other factors aside, I don't think that someone who had endured that level of torment would be in a fit state to do much harm once freed, so... sure, I'd free them. People are too quick to assume that punishment meted out is punishment deserved, or that once someone has been punished, they are somehow now a danger to be set free. If that's the case, then why punish at all? It's counterproductive.

In every game I've played, letting a being constrained by very powerful magics, usually ends very, very badly.

Yeah, it's a good plot point by which to create narrative-driven combat.
