'Rose Henderson' is one of the crash survivors from the fuselage. She is married to Bernard Nadler.
Bernard Nadler
Main articles: Bernard Nadler
'Bernard Nadler' is one of the survivors of Flight 815's tail section, as he was in the rear of the plane when it crashed. He is married to Rose Henderson.
Vincent
★ 'Played by:' Madison,[7] Fuselage Forums Pono[8]
★ 'Also known as': "the dog," "Vinnie"
★ 'Appears in:' "Pilot: Part 1," "Tabula Rasa," "Walkabout," "The Moth," 'Solitary," "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues," "Whatever the Case May Be," "Hearts and Minds," "Special," "Homecoming," "Outlaws," "…In Translation," "Do No Harm," "Exodus: Part 1," "Exodus: Part 2," "Man of Science, Man of Faith," "Orientation," "Everybody Hates Hugo," "…And Found," "Abandoned," "Collision," "The Hunting Party," "The Long Con," "Maternity Leave," "S.O.S.," "Three Minutes," "Tricia Tanaka Is Dead," "Exposé," "Greatest Hits," "Through the Looking Glass"
★ 'Reason for trip:' Brought with Michael and Walt on the plane to live with the father and son in New York.
'Vincent' is Walt's dog (a yellow labrador retriever). Michael tells Walt that he was given to him by his stepfather. Prior to Michael, Walt, Jin and Sawyer setting sail on the Raft, Walt leaves Vincent under the care of Shannon, who loses him. Vincent often appears before something bad is about to happen to one of the survivors, but also shows that unique canine empathy and acceptance of those survivors who, for some reason or another, are currently ostracized from the rest of the group.
Vincent is still on the island in the third season. In "Tricia Tanaka Is Dead," he emerges from the jungle carrying a skeletal arm and hand, which is wearing a rabbit's foot and clutching a key. Hurley and Jin follow Vincent when he runs off with the arm, and the dog leads them to a VW bus lying on its side with the rest of the skeleton inside. In "Exposé," Vincent removes the blanket covering the paralyzed bodies of Nikki and Paulo, possibly to signify that they were not dead (as other survivors erroneously believed). In "Greatest Hits," Vincent is seen with Hurley as the survivors head to the radio tower. In "Through the Looking Glass," Vincent is seen with another survivor at the time of Jack's contact with Naomi's comrades.
Aaron Littleton
★ 'Played by:' various
★ 'Also known as:' "the baby," "Turnip Head" (Charlie)
★ 'Appears in:' "Do No Harm," "The Greater Good," "Born to Run," "Exodus: Part 1," "Exodus: Part 2," "Adrift," "Everybody Hates Hugo," "Abandoned," "What Kate Did," "The 23rd Psalm," "The Hunting Party," "Fire + Water," "The Long Con," "Maternity Leave," "Lockdown," "S.O.S.," "Three Minutes," "Live Together, Die Alone," "Further Instructions," "Every Man for Himself," "Flashes Before Your Eyes," "Par Avion," "Exposé," "Left Behind," "One of Us," "Greatest Hits," "Through the Looking Glass"
★ 'Reason for Trip:' Carried by Claire; he was to be adopted in America after birth.
★ 'Origin of Name:' Aaron, brother of Moses, from the Book of Exodus.
Born to Claire Littleton on the island, 'Aaron Littleton' was originally going to be adopted after birth. A psychic tells Claire that she must raise the baby herself, but, when she refuses, the psychic arranges for Claire to be on Flight 815 so a family in Los Angeles could adopt him. Rousseau kidnaps Aaron, saying she wants to trade him for her own child, Alex; however, Charlie and Sayid rescue him. Shortly after burning the drug-runner plane, Charlie begins to have vivid dreams that Aaron is in danger. These dreams spur Charlie into abducting Aaron and attempting to baptize him. However, Locke returns Aaron to Claire. She then asks Mr. Eko to baptize her and Aaron because Charlie admits he believes they are in great danger. Shortly after Charlie's death in "Through the Looking Glass" we see Aaron crying.
It has now been revealed that Jack Shephard is Aaron's uncle, and Christian Shephard is his grandfather, though this information is not known to Claire or Jack, and it is unclear if anyone on the island is aware of this.

They are on Oceanic Flight 815 but land on separate parts of the island, and Gary dies in the immediate aftermath of the crash. She crashes with the tail-section survivors and is loyal to their leader, Ana Lucia. She confirms that Flight 815 was flying off course before the crash. Of the 22 tail-section survivors, Cindy is one of only five not to have been killed or taken by the "Others" before encountering Jin, Michael, and Sawyer on day 45. During the journey back to the fuselage survivors' camp, Cindy is mysteriously taken by the Others on day 48.
In Stranger in a Strange Land she reappears on the Alcatraz Island. She visits Jack with the other taillies including Zack and Emma, and asks him about Ana Lucia. She later is present at Juliet's trial. In The Brig she is with the others at their new location. Locke helps her put up her tent and she is seen with Zack and Emma when Locke fails to kill his father.

★ 'Profession:' US Marshal
'U.S. Marshal Edward Mars' had been obsessed on pursuing Kate for three years before capturing her in Australia and was on Flight 815 to extradite her to the United States. He aggressively chases her, and gloats over her whenever he does apprehend her. When the plane crashes, he was one of the survivors but is badly injured during the crash and whenever he regains consciousness, he warns that Kate is dangerous. However, shortly before dying, he seems to make peace with her by talking deeply to her. Sawyer shoots Mars (since Mars wants to be put out of his misery) in the chest, but fails to kill him. Jack then euthanizes Mars, killing him. Since then, Mars has appeared in some episodes in flashbacks. His body was briefly exhumed by Jack and Kate to recover the key to his suitcase.
Dr. Leslie Arzt
★ 'Played by:' Daniel Roebuck
★ 'Appears in:' "Born to Run," "Exodus: Part 1," "Exodus: Part 2," "Exposé"
★ 'Also known as:' "Artz" (website, various characters), "Arnzt" (Hurley)
★ 'Profession:' Ninth grade science teacher
★ 'Origin of Name:' German for "medical doctor."[9]
'Arzt', who asks the survivors to address him as "Doctor" ("Arzt" is the German word for "medical doctor"), is a ninth grade science teacher with a degree in Meteorology. In the episode "Exposé," flashbacks reveal that he keeps a collection of native fauna in various jars, including a spider with venom capable of causing severe paralysis. Nikki keeps the spider for some time; it and others of its species later cause the paralysis of herself and Paulo, which results in their unwitting live burial.
He first appears to be used as a plot exposition device to explain about the coming monsoon. He warns the raft crew that the coming monsoon season will take the raft straight to Antarctica. Arzt accompanies the team going to the Black Rock to assist in the retrieval of dynamite to blast open the hatch. When Jack, Kate, and Locke bring it outside, a panicked Arzt explains to them that, in the hot jungle temperature, dynamite "sweats" highly unstable nitroglycerin. As he continues to explain the properties of nitroglycerin, he begins to wave with his hands, causing the dynamite to explode and kill him.
Zack and Emma
★ 'Played by:' Kiersten Havelock (Emma) and Mickey Graue (Zack)
★ 'Appears in:' "The Other 48 Days," "Stranger in a Strange Land," "The Brig"
'Zack' and 'Emma' are two young children from the tail section of the plane, who were traveling to meet their mother who was waiting for them in Los Angeles.
Immediately following the crash of Oceanic Flight 815, Eko and Ana Lucia rescue Emma from the water, and both save her from drowning. Ana Lucia takes it upon herself to become a maternal figure to both Zack and Emma; however, both were taken on Day 12 by the Others. ("The Other 48 Days")
Over a month later, they were seen by Jack along with Cindy. Zack was holding his toy teddy bear. Emma asks Cindy to ask Jack about Ana Lucia. Jack becomes angry so they leave ("Stranger in a Strange Land"). Later, in "The Brig," the two children are seen outside a tent with Cindy. They witness Locke trying to kill his father.
The "Others"
The following are members of the mysterious group known to the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 as the "Others," who have lived on the island for many years prior to their arrival, listed in order of appearance.
Tom
Main articles: Tom (Lost)
'Tom', also known as "Mr. Friendly," appears to act as an unofficial spokesperson for the Others, and one of Ben's right hand men. He is the only Other to appear in all three seasons in present LOST time, not flash-backs. Early interaction with the Others was primarily through him. He is later killed by Sawyer.
Alexandra "Alex" Rousseau
Main articles: Alex (Lost)
'Alex Rousseau' was kidnapped by the Others after her mother, Danielle, gave birth to her. Alex is now 16–17 years old and appears to have been raised by the Others for most of her life as Ben's adopted daughter. Despite her vague allegiance to the Others, Alex aids the crash survivors in various escapes.
Dr. Ethan Rom
Main articles: Ethan Rom
'Ethan Rom' lived among the fuselage section survivors of Flight 815 during their initial days on the island. Ethan pretended to be a crash survivor until he was eventually discovered as not being on the plane's manifest. He abducted two of the survivors, Claire and Charlie, nearly killing Charlie. Later, Charlie ends up killing Ethan. He was later revealed to be a surgeon for the Others. His name is also an anagram for 'Other Man.'
Mikhail Bakunin
Mikhail Bakunin, the Eyepatch Man
★ 'Played by:' Andrew Divoff
★ 'Appears in:' "The Cost of Living," "Enter 77," "Par Avion," "One of Us," "D.O.C.," "The Man Behind the Curtain," "Through The Looking Glass"
★ 'Also known as:' "Patchy" (producers)
★ 'Origin of name:' anarchist Mikhail Bakunin
★ 'Status:' Deceased[10]
'Mikhail Bakunin' claims to have been born in Kiev in present day Ukraine (part of the USSR at the time of his birth). He also claims he was a medic in the Soviet Army, and served in the Soviet war in Afghanistan. He was first seen on one of the monitoring screens in the Pearl station when Sayid fixed the wires so that the video surveillance feed to the upper-right monitor worked. Bakunin appears on one of the screens, however he manages to quickly turn off the camera.
The satellite base he lives in seems to have worldwide communications, as indicated in the episode "One of Us." Right after the crash, Ben shows Juliet a monitor with her sister and her baby playing with each other. This seems to prove that The Others do have communication to the outside world, thanks to Mikhail. Also, when Ben asks for a detailed report on the survivors, Mikhail states he is "already on it." This also seems to prove that he is the reason the Others know so much about the survivors.
When Sayid, Locke, Kate and Rousseau finally find him living in the Flame station, he claims to be the last surviving member of the DHARMA Initiative. He goes on to tell them that the DHARMA scientists attempted to "purge" the "Hostiles" (this was earlier established as term the DHARMA Initiative used for the Others). As his story went, when the Others retaliated, he was spared due to his refusal to participate in the fighting. However, he later confesses that he was lying, and is in fact one of the Others (although he maintains that the story of the "purge" was true). A podcast, with commentary from the show's producers, has confirmed Mikhail's story to be correct (although possibly from a biased point of view).[11]
At her request, he shoots and kills Bea Klugh to prevent Sayid from using her to trade for Jack, and seems ready to shoot himself. In "Par Avion," Mikhail, Sayid, Locke, Kate, and Rousseau find the sonic defense system that protects the Barracks. In order to test its true purpose, Locke pushes Mikhail through the barrier, causing him to foam at the mouth and bleed from the ears, apparently dying from a brain hemorrhage. His last words are "Thank you."
However, Bakunin reappeared in the episode "D.O.C.," very much alive. He appeared in the jungle at the landing site of the female parachutist who had landed in the jungle in the previous episode. When Bakunin happens upon the site, where Hurley, Charlie, Desmond and Jin have already discovered the woman, he immediately bolts, but is chased and captured. He agrees to inspect and treat the woman's injuries, but only if he is then allowed to go free. They agree, and Bakunin, with Desmond's help, evacuates the woman's punctured lung, and when he is done tells them that she will be better in a day or so. When Charlie expresses skepticism at such an optimistic prognosis for such a serious injury, Bakunin cryptically points out that injuries are different on the island. He leaves, but Jin chases him down again when he realizes Bakunin absconded with the satellite phone. After reacquiring the phone, Desmond says Mikhail is allowed to go, despite Charlie's protests that they should kill him. Mikhail taunts Charlie, saying "I already died once this week," to which Charlie threatens to take out his other eye. Desmond makes good on his word to let him leave, however, and Mikhail then disappears into the jungle once more.
In "The Man Behind the Curtain," Mikhail runs from the jungle, explaining his "death" by saying the sonic death fence was not set to a lethal level. He tells the rest of the Others of Naomi, and that the Oceanic 815'ers probably took the survivor back to their camp. Ben then says that they will deal with the survivors the night after tomorrow, and that in the meantime, at Locke's request, Ben will take Locke to see Jacob. Mikhail questions his orders and insists that they deal with the situation with the survivors immediately, and in response Locke beats Mikhail to the ground. Ben asks the Others to help Mikhail, but they refuse.
Mikhail is sent by Ben to reinforce Greta and Bonnie at the Looking Glass Station in the Season 3 finale, "Through the Looking Glass." Ben had told Mikhail that the Looking Glass Station was inoperable, and Mikhail is upset to see that Ben lied. But Ben said he had a good reason for lying, and asks Mikhail to trust him, since Mikhail has always been "a loyalist." At Ben's request, Mikhail attempts to kill Charlie, Greta and Bonnie, but Desmond surprises him and shoots him with a spear gun in the chest. Desmond and Charlie focus on shutting off the jamming signal, and while they do that Mikhail escapes down the moon pool, apparently having survived being shot with the spear gun. Mikhail appears outside the window of the communication room, which he destroys with a hand grenade that he is holding, causing the room to flood. It is has been confirmed by the producers that he died in that explosion.
Dr. Richard Alpert
Richard Alpert
★ 'Played by:' Nestor Carbonell
★ 'Appears in:' "Not in Portland," "The Man from Tallahassee," "One of Us," "The Brig," "The Man Behind the Curtain," "Greatest Hits," "Through the Looking Glass"
★ 'Origin of name:' Spiritual philosopher Ram Dass
In the early 1970s, Richard – one of the original "Hostiles" (Others) – encounters a boy Ben, who has seen his deceased mother in the jungle, and asks for Richard to take him with him, but Richard tells Ben to go home. Years later, when Ben is an adult, Ben gasses all of DHARMA, killing every member. The Hostiles move into the Barracks, with Ben as their new leader.[12] Richard works as a recruiter for a front company for the Others, called Mittelos Bioscience. In September 2001, he recruits Juliet with the help of Ethan Rom.[13]
In December 2004, when the crash survivor John Locke refuses to kill his father at Ben's request, Richard approaches Locke and explains to him that Ben knew he would not kill his father, and was just trying to embarrass him in front of the Others. Alpert claims that Ben is jealous of Locke because of Locke's recovery from paralysis and questions Ben's leadership, saying that Ben is wasting time with his work on pregnant women and that Locke's healing is an example of other, more important reasons they are working on the island. He tells Locke his father has to go and suggests Locke get Sawyer to do it, since Sawyer also has a vendetta against Cooper.[14]
Richard's discontent with Ben festers after Ben takes Locke to see Jacob and does not return with Locke.[15] He warns Ben that the Others are suspicious of him after the team sent to capture the pregnant women was killed and could misconstrue his departure to meet with Jack's coalition of refugees. Ben tells Richard to take the Others to the "temple." Oddly, over the thirty years that Richard is seen, he does not appear to age.
Danny Pickett
Danny Pickett
★ 'Played by:' Michael Bowen
★ 'Appears in:' "Three Minutes," "Live Together, Die Alone," "The Glass Ballerina," "Every Man for Himself," "The Cost Of Living," "I Do," "Not in Portland"
★ 'Status:' Deceased.
Danny Pickett is a forceful and violent member of the Others, married to another Other named Colleen. He is one of the Others responsible for the capture of Michael Dawson, whom he draws blood from to perform some tests. He is a loyal Other; during the "The Hunting Party" standoff with James "Sawyer" Ford, John Locke and Jack Shephard, when Alex Rousseau/Linus refused to bring Kate Austen out, Danny did so. It is still unclear how important he is in the Others' hierarchy, but he is shown taking orders from Tom and Ms. Klugh on several occasions. In "Live Together, Die Alone," Danny is a part of the party that captures Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Hugo "Hurley" Reyes and witnesses the departure of Michael and Walt from the island at Pala Ferry.
In "The Glass Ballerina," when he is working on the small island off the coast of the main island, he monitors Kate and Sawyer when they are ordered to dig up rocks. When Kate refuses to obey him, he shocks Sawyer with a stunner. His wife Colleen takes part in a raid upon Desmond's boat the ''Elizabeth'', where Sun is hiding in the cabin. Facing capture, Sun shoots Colleen, and she is brought back to the Hydra for medical care. Danny stands by as Juliet and Jack attempt to save her, but ultimately she dies. Enraged, Danny takes all of his anger out on Sawyer in "Every Man for Himself," repeatedly beating him and threatening to kill him. He almost succeeds in "I Do," however Tom radios in that Ben Linus has been taken hostage by Jack. In "Not in Portland," Sawyer and Kate escape from the cages where they had been imprisoned, but are pursued by Danny and others. Just as they are about to escape the island with Karl in a canoe, Danny manages to intervene and tries to kill them, but is instead shot dead by Juliet Burke. Juliet faced trial for the murder but escaped execution after Jack intervened, and was only branded as punishment.
Karl
Karl
★ 'Played by:' Blake Bashoff
★ 'Appears in:' "A Tale of Two Cities," "Not in Portland," "Stranger in a Strange Land," "Greatest Hits," "Through The Looking Glass"
A young man of unknown origin (presumably an Other) who was being held at the Hydra Station along with Jack, Kate, and Sawyer. 'Karl' is first seen in "A Tale of Two Cities" in a cage across from Sawyer. A scruffy-looking teenager, for the most part he keeps his back turned to Sawyer, and initially refuses attempts at conversation, except for offering advice about not pushing a button (which Sawyer ignores, only to receive a powerful electric shock). Later, Karl indicates interest in how far away Sawyer's camp might be. Karl picks the lock on his own cage, then runs over and frees Sawyer. He tells Sawyer to run in a certain direction while he runs in another, but they are both still caught and returned to their cages, though a bloodied Karl is brought up close to Sawyer's cage and forced to apologize, for involving Sawyer in his "escape attempt." Alex Rousseau later contacts Kate from a hiding place, asking about whether she has seen Karl in the cages ("The Glass Ballerina"). In "Not in Portland," Alex agrees to help Sawyer and Kate escape from being held captive by the Others, but only if they agree to help her free Karl. They free Karl from his cell, where he was apparently being brainwashed. He was strapped to a chair, hooked up to an IV, forced to listen to extremely loud strange music, and his eyes were held open and strange images were flashing on a screen in front of him. Kate and Sawyer eventually get to the boat and escape with Karl while Alex, after saying goodbye, is forced to stay behind. Karl and Alex are obviously in love with one another, but Ben is intent on keeping the two of them apart. At the end of "Stranger in a Strange Land," Karl leaves Kate and Sawyer, apparently to attempt to rescue Alex. According to Damon Lindelof, Karl is an Other trying to escape. In "Greatest Hits," it is revealed that after leaving Kate and Sawyer, Karl had been living in the jungle, near the Others' camp. Alex tells Karl that Ben has changed his plans, and intends to kidnap the survivors' women and kill any men who interfere. Alex tells Karl to warn the survivors, which Karl does. In "Through the Looking Glass," Ben tells Alex that he imprisoned and brainwashed Karl because he didn't want Karl to get Alex pregnant. Ben admits he "may have overreacted."
Goodwin.
Goodwin
★ 'Played by:' Brett Cullen
★ 'Appears in:' "…And Found," "The Other 48 Days," "A Tale of Two Cities," "One of Us"
★ 'Satus': Deceased
'Goodwin', like Ethan, was a spy for the Others. Ben sent him to investigate and infiltrate the tail section survivors after the Flight 815 crash. Goodwin was told to listen, learn, not to get involved, and prepare a list within three days. He then begins to live among the tail section survivors for the initial days of their stay on the island, claiming to be a former member of the Peace Corps. After Nathan, one of the tail section survivors, is accused of being one of "them" and thrown in a pit-cage, Goodwin kills him and hides the body to throw suspicion off of himself. Later, when he and Ana Lucia are alone, Ana Lucia says that she knows Goodwin is one of the Others because when he came out of the jungle (ten minutes after the plane had crashed into the sea) his clothes were dry. Goodwin reveals that the survivors who have been abducted are "good people." He then tells Ana Lucia that Nathan was not a good person and that he was not on "the list." He also claims that the abducted kids, Zack and Emma, are better off, which upsets Ana Lucia. They struggle, and in the course of their fight, Goodwin is impaled on a wooden stake and dies. His rotting corpse is later found by Jin.
Goodwin's comment about the Others being "good people" parallels Ben's claim that he "is not a bad person" and that the Others are "the good guys." Ben also notes that Goodwin actually considered Ana Lucia a good person, telling his fellow "Others" that she is not bad, just misunderstood, and tells Ana Lucia that when Goodwin attacked her, he was not planning to kill her.
In the episode "One of Us," it was revealed that Goodwin and Juliet were lovers prior to the plane crash and that he helped Juliet in the surgery of Sabine.
Bea Klugh
Bea Klugh
★ 'Played by:' April Grace
★ 'Appears in:' "Three Minutes," "Live Together, Die Alone," "Enter 77"
★ 'Status:' Deceased
When 'Michael' is brought to the Others' camp, he meets 'Ms. Klugh' who asks Michael several questions about Walt, such as "Are you his biological father?," "When did he start talking?," "Did he have any illnesses?" and most notably, "Did he ever appear anywhere he wasn't supposed to be?" (making a reference to Walt being seen by some of the survivors). Her questions were also very similar to the questions Walt's mother's lawyer asked Michael. Michael eventually demands to see Walt, and she agrees to let them see each other for three minutes. When Walt begins to say "they're not who they say they are" and "they're pretending…," Ms. Klugh has Walt taken away, but not before threatening to send him back to "The Room" if he does not behave. After a brief hug, Walt is taken away and Michael reluctantly agrees to Klugh's demands: rescue Henry Gale, and then bring Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Hurley back to the Others' camp. When she accidentally reveals Tom's name in "Live Together, Die Alone," he reveals hers as Bea in return. In "Enter 77" Bea attacks Kate in the but is stopped by Sayid. They hold her hostage until Locke is held at gunpoint by Mikhail Bakunin, who threatens to kill Locke if Bea is not returned. During the exchange, Bea and Mikhail converse in fluent Russian, which ends with Bea firmly saying, "Just do it, Mikhail." After a moment's hesitation, Mikhail shoves Locke aside, apologizes to Bea and shoots her in the chest, killing her instantly.
Ryan Pryce
Ryan Pryce
★ 'Played by:' Brian Goodman
★ 'Appears in:' "The Man from Tallahassee," "Greatest Hits," "Through the Looking Glass"
★ 'Status:' Deceased
Ryan Pryce was first seen in "The Man from Tallahassee" guarding and sometimes beating Sayid (who was a prisoner at the time). Pryce was one of the Others who led an assault on the survivors beach camp. His duties were similar to those of Danny Pickett. He was killed when Hurley ran him over in the DHARMA van.
Greta
★ 'Played by:' Lana Parrilla
★ 'Appears in:' "Greatest Hits," "Through the Looking Glass"
One of the two women Ben appointed to monitor "the Looking Glass" DHARMA station. The other Others, including Mikhail, were told that Greta was on assignment in Canada and that the station had been flooded. However, Greta, along with Bonnie, were put in place to block all transmissions from the island.
After Charlie swims into the station, Greta tries to stop Bonnie from abusing him. On Ben's orders, Mikhail shoots and kills Greta.
Bonnie
★ 'Played by:' Tracy Middendorf
★ 'Appears in:' "Greatest Hits," "Through the Looking Glass"
One of the two women Ben appointed to monitor "the Looking Glass" DHARMA station. The other Others, including Mikhail, were told that Bonnie was on assignment in Canada and that the station had been flooded. However, Bonnie, along with Greta, were put in place to block all transmissions from the island.
After Charlie swims into the station, Bonnie is abusive and rough toward him. She is also shown to be easily frustrated, screaming at Charlie for singing constantly and often arguing with Greta and Mikhail. On Ben's orders, Mikhail shoots Bonnie, but she lives long enough to tell Charlie the code to deactivate the jamming device that blocked all transmissions, as a final act of defiance against the man she trusted, Benjamin Linus.
Colleen Pickett
★ 'Played by:' Paula Malcolmson
★ 'Appears in:' "The Glass Ballerina," "Every Man for Himself" (no dialogue)
'Colleen', sometimes called "Coll," was married to Danny Pickett. She is first introduced when she tells Ben about Sayid and the sailboat, after which he orders her to steal the ''Elizabeth''; however, during the mission, Colleen comes upon Sun in the boat's cabin. Sun has a gun and tells Colleen to let her off the boat. Colleen says she cannot do that as it is not her choice to make. Colleen walks closer to Sun, but Sun threatens to shoot Colleen if she comes any closer. Colleen tells Sun that she and the Others are not the enemy but if she was to shoot her, that would be exactly what they'd become. She calls Sun by her full name and attempts to reason with her, stating that she knows she is not a killer. Colleen steps closer to Sun and the engine starts. Shocked, Sun shoots Colleen in the chest. Sun escapes from the ship's cabin, narrowly dodging Tom's attempt to shoot her. Colleen is then taken back to the Hydra station so that they can attend to her injuries. Both Juliet and Jack operate on her, but she still dies on the operating table. Her funeral takes place in "The Cost of Living," at which Ben speaks. Her death fuels Danny's hatred for all of the crash survivors, most notably Sawyer.
Jacob
Jacob
★ 'Appears in:' "The Man Behind the Curtain"
The implied leader of the Others has been alluded to by Ben, Pickett, Karl, Tom, Mikhail and Bonnie. He is respected but feared by the Others. Often referred to as 'He' or 'Him', Ben describes Jacob as "a great man, a brilliant man, but not a forgiving man." Ben also said to Sayid during his interrogation, "If I told you about them, you have no idea what he'll do," and "he'll kill me." Mikhail called Jacob a "magnificent man" and identified him as the one who brought the Others to the island. In "Not in Portland," Karl watches a brainwashing film, which includes the phrase "God loves you as he loved Jacob." Pickett, Goodwin, Ben and Mikhail have also made reference to a "list" made by Jacob. Mikhail pointed out that those not on the list are flawed and not capable of understanding the Others. Jacob also is trusted by Juliet as Ben says he would take care of her sister's cancer.
In "The Man Behind the Curtain," Ben introduces Locke to Jacob. However, it appears to Locke that Ben is merely arguing with an empty chair, leaving Locke to believe that Ben may be insane or bluffing. Just as Locke turns to leave, a deep and strange voice says, "Help me." Locke shines his flashlight at Ben, and then everything goes haywire. It was discussed that Jacob despises technology, and when the flashlight is turned on, a frightening and violent struggle breaks out in the room. A table is set on fire, then mysteriously put out in the same instant; a window is broken, Ben is flung against a wall and several items are hurled and destroyed in the disarray. For a brief moment, Locke is able to see Jacob sitting in the chair Ben was talking to moments before.
Island inhabitants and arrivals
The following are residents of the islands who were not aboard Oceanic Flight 815 or members of the Others, and arrived by separate means.
Danielle Rousseau
Main articles: Danielle Rousseau
'Danielle Rousseau' arrived on the island sixteen years before the crash of Flight 815 as part of a research party. She gave birth to a baby girl, Alex, though her child was stolen shortly after by the Others. Common to the theme in Lost where other characters have the same name as philosophers, Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a philosopher from Switzerland born in 1712, died in 1778. The philosopher Rousseau contended that man was essentially good at birth but is corrupted by their experiences in society.
Naomi Dorrit
★ 'Played by:' Marsha Thomason
★ 'Appears in:' "Catch-22," "D.O.C.," "The Brig," "The Man Behind the Curtain," "Greatest Hits," "Through the Looking Glass"
★ 'Profession:' Supposed member of a Rescue and Recovery Team, mistakenly presumed to be employed by Penelope Widmore (Desmond's girlfriend).
★ 'Origin of name:' Reference to Little Dorrit, a serial novel by Charles Dickens.
'Naomi Dorrit' is supposedly a parachutist from Manchester, in England, who arrived on the island via a helicopter which crashes just off the coast. Forced to bail out, she is found hanging unconscious in a tree by Desmond, who initially assumes her to be Penny. A bag is found nearby which includes a Portuguese language edition of ''Catch-22'', containing a copy of a picture of Desmond and Penny. She is the first known new arrival to the island since the crash of Flight 815 (Alpert was off-island after the crash, but had regular transportation to return). Naomi was injured in her fall, but Mikhail and Desmond were able to treat her. When she wakes up for a second time, Hurley introduces himself to her and reveals that he is one of the survivors of the plane crash. Naomi then tells him that the Oceanic plane was found on the ocean floor by robotic search, and that this 'find' indicated no survivors. Later, Sayid attempts to make use of the satellite phone that Naomi carried as she tells them that Penelope Widmore sent her for Desmond. When Jack and Juliet return, they take the group into the jungle, leaving Naomi behind. When they return, Naomi speaks to Charlie about events off-island, mainly his memorial service and the ''Greatest Hits'' album released by DriveSHAFT. When Jack explains that they will head off to the radio tower to transmit a distress call to Naomi's boat, Naomi's face suddenly drops. Nevertheless, she heads off with Jack and the others ("Greatest Hits"). She is wounded (perhaps mortally) by Locke who throws a knife into her back after attempting to make contact with her ship via her satellite phone . It is assumed by Charlie that she is not part of a search party funded by Penelope Widmore (as she claimed) because Penelope Widmore did not recognize her name (Though Naomi herself had told them they had never met). Charlie shared this presumption with Desmond just before he was drowned.
Anthony Cooper
Anthony Cooper
★ 'Played by:' Kevin Tighe
★ 'Appears in:' "Deus Ex Machina," "Orientation," "Lockdown," "The Man from Tallahassee" ,"The Brig"
★ 'Also known as:' "Adam Seward," "Tom Sawyer," "Louis Jackson," "Ted Maclaren," "Paul"
★ 'Origin of name:' Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 1st Earl of Shaftesbury, friend of John Locke
'Anthony Cooper' is Locke's biological father and the man who conned Sawyer's parents, leading to both of their deaths.
Cooper ran the conning circuit in his twenties and thirties, and conned a woman, Mary Ford, into giving him a large amount of money. In response, Mary's husband killed her and himself. Their son, James, retained a grudge against Sawyer (Cooper's alias). James later took on the name Sawyer, and coincidentally crashed on the island with Locke. Cooper is an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting, fishing, and scuba diving, among other things. Cooper impregnates Emily Locke; however, she tells him that she is not going to have the baby before leaving him. Over a year later Emily comes back with the news that she has put their son, John, up for adoption. Years pass without Cooper even trying to seek his son. However, in his older years, his kidneys fail, and he needs a transplant. Emily comes back asking for money once again, and Cooper agrees to help her if she finds John for him. When he meets with his son for the first time, he extends an invitation to go hunting, which John, who never knew his father, accepts. The next few weeks Cooper and John bond over hunting, and it seems as if they have forged the father-son relationship John has always hoped for. Then Cooper tells John of his kidney failure, and Locke immediately donates his kidney to his father. Upon waking up after the surgery, however, Locke discovers that Cooper has left, going back to his home. When John tries to visit his father he is denied access, and realizes that there was no bond between them; Cooper is simply using his son for a kidney.
Unable to let go, John continues to park outside Cooper’s house, even after Cooper has moved. Cooper eventually meets with his son for the first time since the surgery, and tells him that people get conned all the time, and to get over the incident, saying “And John, don’t come back. You’re not wanted.”
Later, Cooper cons two men out of $700,000. Afraid they might kill him, Cooper fakes his death, then enlists his son’s help to get the money from a safe deposit box, promising him $200,000. When John delivers the money, he rejects the reward, saying that he did not do it for the money. John then tells Cooper about Helen, and how he is planning on proposing to her. Just then, Helen appears at the door and slaps Cooper for not letting John find peace and put his past behind him after finding out about his father's death. She then confronts John about his promise to let go of Cooper, and rejects his proposal. Cooper then leaves John with only the slightest bit of sympathy for his son and what he has done to him in his face.
Anthony Cooper
Sometime later, Cooper begins another con with a woman, Ms. Talbot. Locke, having been visited by her son, confronts him, and tells him to end it. Cooper vows to, but in reality continues, and it is assumed that he kills her son. Locke storms into his penthouse, demanding to know if Cooper is the murderer. Cooper denies this, but moves Locke to a vantage point, shoving him out the window to fall eight stories and break his back, causing Locke's paraplegia. Cooper then disappears, presumably to Mexico. Soon after the time of the Flight 815 crash, Cooper has a car accident in Tallahassee and slams into the central divide at 70 mph. His last memories are being taken away in an ambulance, before he wakes up imprisoned on the island.
Locke discovers Cooper in a small room under the Barracks where Ben keeps "the man from Tallahassee," tied to a chair and gagged. In "The Brig," Ben tries to force Locke to kill his father by issuing him an ultimatum - unless Locke can kill his father, he is not ready to understand the secrets of the island. Locke is unable to, though is then secretly passed a file of information on Sawyer by Richard Alpert, from which Locke realizes that Cooper is the man who conned Sawyer's mother, which led to the murder-suicide that left Sawyer an orphan. Knowing that he can use Sawyer to kill Cooper instead, he imprisons the old man in the brig of the Black Rock, and brings Sawyer to him, locking the two of them in together. As the two men talk, Cooper explains how he reached the island, believing they are all dead and that they were in Hell. He mentions cons and Sawyer slowly realizes the connection - and the identity of the man in there with him. The truth is exposed, and Sawyer forces Cooper to read the note to the original Sawyer that he has carried on him since a child, which Cooper derides and tells him he has no remorse for the incident, before ripping the letter to pieces. In rage, Sawyer murders Cooper by strangling him with a metal chain. Locke then takes his body to Ben to prove he has killed his father, and that his issues before the island are now over.
Kelvin Joe Inman
Kelvin Joe Inman
★ 'Played by:' Clancy Brown
★ 'Appears in:' "One of Them," "Live Together, Die Alone"
★ 'Profession:' DHARMA Initiative employee, former US intelligence operative
'Kelvin Joe Inman' was formerly an intelligence operative for the United States government, actively involved with prisoner interrogation during the Gulf War of 1990–1991, during which he made Sayid into an unwilling student of torture techniques. Later, Kelvin joined the DHARMA Initiative, and ended up on a two-man crew operating the on the island. His partner was a man named Radzinsky, who taught him how to hotwire the blast doors and draw an invisible map on them using detergent. After Radzinsky kills himself (or so Kelvin tells the story), Kelvin continues to press the button alone until he finds Desmond, dragging him into the Swan in a Hazmat suit. Kelvin instructs Desmond in the operation of the blast doors and administration of the vaccine, and, during a drunken episode, tells Desmond about the station's failsafe mechanism, claiming that it has the power to "make it all go away." It soon becomes clear to Desmond that Kelvin has become disenchanted with DHARMA and that he has some kind of ulterior motive in preventing him from leaving the hatch. In fact, unbeknownst to Desmond, Kelvin is repairing Desmond's yacht and planning to escape the island. When Desmond discovers that Kelvin plans to leave him alone to press the button, Kelvin advises him to leave the button, saying, "We don't even know if it's real." Desmond, furious that Kelvin "stole his life," fights with Kelvin and appears to accidentally kill him. Kelvin's supposed death appears to have occurred mere minutes before the crash of Flight 815, as the struggle between him and Desmond delays the entry of the code, and the resulting electromagnetic pulse brought down the plane. Another Lost creator's podcast confirms that Kelvin is definitely a member of the DHARMA Initiative who survived the purge and was coincidentally undiscovered by the Others, who had no knowledge of the functions of the Swan station.
Video characters
The following appeared in DHARMA Initiative orientation films.
"Dr. Marvin Candle"/"Dr. Mark Wickmund"/"Dr. Edgar Halowax"
Marvin Candle in Orientation
★ 'Played by:' François Chau
★ 'Appears in:' "Orientation," "What Kate Did," "?," "Live Together, Die Alone" (reused footage), "The Cost of Living" (reused footage), "Enter 77," "The Man Behind the Curtain"
★ 'Profession:' Alleged Scientist
'Marvin Candle', 'Mark Wickmund', and 'Edgar Halowax' are the names that the man in the DHARMA Initiative orientation films calls himself. It is unknown if any are his real name, or if the three names indicate three unique individuals. All three names have references to candles; the first being "Candle" and the others containing the words "wick" and "wax."
In the Station 3 Orientation film, "Candle"'s left arm appears to be a prosthetic (which was confirmed in an interview with the creators on their podcast). In the Station 5 Orientation video, both of "Wickmund"'s arms move.
"Candle," "Wickmund" or "Halowax" is also featured on the special features disc of the second season DVD set. In an orientation film similar to the one on the show, he addresses the viewer and presents various featurettes as part of their "tour of duty" observing the island and its inhabitants. Both his arms move in this appearance.
In "Enter 77," "Candle" appears on the computer after Locke beats the chess game. His image is used in a video menu of various options this computer can do. In the video, one hand appears to be prosthetic.
When "Candle" explains the barracks setup in a DHARMA video in "The Man Behind the Curtain," his left arm is hanging limp and never moves.
At Comic Con 2007, an orientation film for The Orchid (Station 6), released by the producers, showed Candle as "Halowax" - both his arms had full movement in this scene.
Gerald and Karen DeGroot
The DeGroots
★ 'Gerald DeGroot played by:' Michael Gilday
★ 'Karen DeGroot played by:' Courtney Lavigne
★ 'Appear in:' "Orientation," "What Kate Did," "?," "Not in Portland"
★ 'Profession:' Scientists
Gerald and Karen DeGroot were doctoral candidates from the University of Michigan and followers of the teachings of B. F. Skinner. In 1970, thanks to the funding of the Hanso Foundation, they founded the DHARMA Initiative, which they envisioned as a large-scale communal compound of scientists and free thinkers from around the world gathered to study meteorology, zoology, electromagnetism, parapsychology and psychology (the mention of the final subject of study remains partially revealed: "utopian social…"). Footage of Gerald experimenting with electromagnets is seen in a brainwashing film in "Not in Portland."
Since the entire DHARMA Initiative team was murdered by Ben, Gerald and Karen are presumed deceased.
Alvar Hanso
Alvar Hanso
★ 'Played by:' Ian Patrick Williams (in Sri Lanka video and finale of the Lost Experience)
★ 'Appears in:' "Orientation"
★ 'Profession:' Businessman, former arms salesman and manufacturer
Alvar Hanso is the enigmatic leader of the Hanso Foundation. Little is known about him, but it is known he is or was a Danish weapons purveyor. This from the foundation's website:
Driven by a need for privacy and a deep-seated sense of humility, Alvar Hanso has released few details of his personal life to the public. He first made his mark during the Second World War, providing munitions to various resistance movements around Europe. After the War, Hanso became the leading purveyor of high-technology armaments for NATO. After decades of keeping the world safe through the development of sophisticated weapons systems, Hanso turned his attention to critical areas of science and technology - always searching for new ways to improve the human experience and create a brighter future for all humanity.
In the ''Lost'' episode "The Hunting Party," the character Tom, known at the time simply as "Mr. Friendly," apparently quotes Hanso's statement on curiosity, claiming it was said once by a man "much smarter than anyone here."
In the ''Lost'' tie-in novel ''Bad Twin'', Hanso was a board member for the Widmore Corp., but now Dr. Thomas Mittelwerk fills that seat.
As part of the Lost Experience, a fictional hacker known as Persephone reveals that the last time Hanso was seen in public was in 2002. She also asks the viewer if they have seen him before. She is commenting on a photo of him standing by a window, which the site claims was taken in October 2003, but which itself has appeared in orientation films for the DHARMA Initiative. It has since been revealed that not even higher up members of the Hanso Foundation have seen him recently. The hacker, Persephone, was later revealed as Rachel Blake, who Alvar Hanso said in a fictional statement was his daughter.
Flashback characters
Many characters appear through the main characters' flashbacks, and are not on the island. See IMDB for a complete listing of all guest and flashback characters.
Christian Shephard
Main articles: Christian Shephard
'Christian Shephard' was Jack's father, who died before Jack crashed on the island. He is later revealed to also be the father of fellow survivor Claire.
Penelope "Penny" Widmore
Penny Widmore
★ 'Played by:' Sonya Walger
★ 'Appears in:' "Live Together, Die Alone," "Flashes Before Your Eyes," "Catch-22," "Through the Looking Glass"
★ 'Character relation:' Desmond (ex-girlfriend)
★ 'Origin of name:' Allusion to Penelope, wife of Ulysses in Homer's ''Odyssey'', who waits twenty years for the return of her husband.
'Penelope "Penny" Widmore' is the great love of Desmond, and his girlfriend before he was separated from her by her domineering and extremely wealthy father, Charles Widmore. In "Catch-22," it is revealed that the two lovers met when Penny was buying some crates of wine from the same monastery from which Desmond was dismissed. In "Flashes Before Your Eyes," Desmond tells Penelope that things have not been great in a while, and she slaps him and tearfully walks away. Desmond throws his engagement ring into the river Thames.
Desmond is shipwrecked on the island while trying to win a race to prove his worth to her father (played by Alan Dale) and get her back.
Outside flashbacks, Penny appears at the end of "Live Together, Die Alone," when she is shown answering a phone call from what appears to be a polar research station. In "Catch 22," a parachutist named Naomi lands on the island, and she identifies herself as a member of a search team sent by Penelope. However, in "Through the Looking Glass," Penelope transmits a message to The Looking Glass Hatch, which Charlie receives, and she informs him that the parachutist Naomi wasn't sent by her. It's unknown why she was trying to contact the station, although it appears that perhaps Charlie had dialed her with the code that was entered.
Sarah Shephard
Sarah Shephard.
★ 'Played by:' Julie Bowen
★ 'Appears in:' "Do No Harm," "Man of Science, Man of Faith," "The Hunting Party," "A Tale of Two Cities," "Through the Looking Glass"
★ 'Character relation:' Jack (ex-wife)
'Sarah Shephard' was Jack's wife. Eight months before her wedding to her fiancé, Kevin, she is involved in a car crash with an SUV driven by Adam Rutherford (Shannon's father and Boone's step-father). She is rushed to St. Sebastian hospital and is treated by Jack. Sarah's back is broken, and Jack informs her that she will never walk again. Sarah invites Jack to her wedding. However, Kevin leaves her when he discovers her paralysis. Sarah feels sad over the death of Adam Rutherford, and Jack says that he will "fix her." Knowing that a full recovery is highly improbable, the surgeon goes out for a run and meets Desmond, who tells Jack to believe in miracles. When Jack presents Sarah with the bad news, she surprises him by wiggling her toes. They fall in love and marry; but some time later, Sarah leaves Jack. Prior to her leaving, Jack confronts her and he admits to kissing the daughter of a patient who had died in surgery. Sarah, in return, reveals that she has been seeing someone else due to Jack's frequent absence, and says that she wishes to leave. After the divorce Sarah refuses to tell Jack the name of the man she left him for. Jack gets angry when he finds Christian's number on Sarah's cell phone and he assumes his father is the man she left him for. When Jack is wrong Sarah tells him that Christian has started drinking again, and that she still will not give the name of the man she is currently with. In A Tale of Two Cities, Jack asks Juliet if Sarah is happy. She responds with "Very happy," leaving Jack to break down in tears.
When Jack leaves the island, he is visited again by Sarah, who is still his emergency contact. At this point, Sarah is visibly pregnant.
Jae Lee
Jae Lee
★ 'Played by:' Tony Lee
★ 'Appears in:' "…And Found," "The Whole Truth," "The Glass Ballerina"
★ 'Character relation:' Sun (secret lover/English Instructor), Jin (owner of hotel where formerly employed)
'Jae Lee' is the wealthy son of the owner of the Seoul Gateway Hotel and the hotel's General Manager.
He attended Harvard University and studied Medieval Russian Literature, where he met and fell in love with an American woman. He meets Sun on a family-arranged date, but tells her he is not interested because of his previous love, which apparently failed.
He teaches Sun English (at her request), and ends up having an affair with her. He gives her a strand of pearls and asks her to leave for America with him.
In The Glass Ballerina, Mr. Paik finds out about the affair, but instead of telling Jin about it, lies to Jin and tells him Jae is stealing from him, addressing this in terms of "honor." He orders Jin to "deliver a message to" (kill) Jae. Jin finds him and beats him up, but cannot bring himself to kill him and so tells him to leave the country and never return.
Jae Lee ends up falling from many stories high and lands on Jin's car with the string of pearls he attempted to give Sun clutched in his hand.
Many fans initially suspected foul play, but his death has been confirmed a suicide by the producers in their podcast. Sun attends his large funeral to mourn for him. Mr. Paik, who is obligated to attend because of family business connections, also attends.
He was possibly named as a tribute to comic book artist Jae Lee.
Yemi
Yemi
★ 'Played by:' Adetokumboh M'Cormack
★ 'Appears in:' "The 23rd Psalm," "?," "The Cost of Living"
★ 'Character relation:' Mr. Eko (brother), Locke (vision)
'Yemi' is the brother of Mr. Eko. When they were young, the village of Yemi and Eko was invaded by drug runners who command Yemi to shoot an old man. Eko saves him from doing this task, however, and shoots the man instead. The men sense the potential for ruthlessness in Eko and take him with them when they leave, leaving Yemi behind. Yemi later becomes a priest and works to improve the lives of his parishioners. For example, he makes arrangements to procure vaccines twice a year for the village; thugs take 80% of the vaccines in exchange for offering "protection" to the village, but villagers acknowledge that without Yemi's efforts they would have no vaccines at all. He plans on moving to London to continue his education.
One day, the week before Yemi is scheduled to leave for London, Eko pays him a visit. Eko needs to transport heroin out of the country and wants to use the missionary planes of the church. Yemi initially refuses, but gives in when Eko warns him that his partners will burn down the church if Yemi does not cooperate. Yemi reluctantly signs papers to give Eko and his men the authority of priests. Yemi dies trying to stop Eko and the men from leaving; he is shot by gunfire from the army as the plane with the heroin begins to take off.
He later appears as a vision to Locke and Eko, and he leads them to the Question Mark. It is implied that the "monster" also takes his form and kills Mr. Eko.
Cassidy Phillips
Cassidy Phillips
★ 'Played by:' Kim Dickens
★ 'Appears in:' "The Long Con," "Every Man for Himself," "Left Behind"
★ 'Character relation:' Sawyer (ex-girlfriend), Kate (friend)
'Cassidy Phillips' was a recently divorced woman whom Sawyer conned. After thwarting his routine of "accidentally" dropping the briefcase full of money, she asked him to teach her how to con people. They spent the next few months working small scams and once she felt confident in her skills, she asked Sawyer to teach her a long con, and offered her own money as capital. The two of them may have been in love, however Sawyer still took her money, and left her. ("The Long Con")
After realizing she'd been conned, she went to Iowa and tried to con people using the techniques she had been taught, and met Kate. Cassidy later reported Sawyer to the police and as a result, he was thrown in jail. While Sawyer was in prison, Cassidy visited him and showed him a picture of a baby girl named ''Clementine Phillips'', whom she said was his daughter.
Noor "Nadia" Abed Jazeem
Nadia
★ 'Played by:' Andrea Gabriel
★ 'Appears in:' "Solitary," "Lockdown," "Greatest Hits"
★ 'Character relation: 'Sayid (ex-girlfriend), Locke (client), Charlie (saved from a mugging)
With Sayid's promotion to the Intelligence Division, he was reunited with 'Nadia' (a childhood friend) while imprisoned, and was tasked with her interrogation ("Solitary"). However, the little time they had together only gave them a chance to reconnect, and drove Sayid to attempt helping her and dropping her charges. When the orders of his superior officer, Omar, changed to her execution, Sayid found no resolution but to help her escape. During the attempt, Sayid had to shoot Omar, who caught up with him and Nadia, and as a cover story shot himself as well in the leg so Nadia could escape with his gun. Before escaping, Nadia frightfully begged Sayid to come with her, and at his refusal she left him her photo with the Arabic inscription; "You will see me in the next life, if not in this one." ("Solitary")
Nadia's escape was successful, and later in Los Angeles she met and hired Locke, to inspect a house she was buying.
Through the few words they exchange, she revealed that she was not married. Her current whereabouts were later used as a lure by the CIA to get Sayid to work for them. Eventually, they informed Sayid that Nadia is working in "Irvine, California" as "a lab tech in a medical testing company." ("The Greater Good")
Nadia is later seen in England being mugged in an alleyway. Charlie passes by and notices this happening, after a brief hesitation he runs to her rescue. After the thug flees, Nadia thanks him and tells him that several other people noticed what was happening but just walked by. (This may be a reference to the parable of "The Good Samaritan") She tells Charlie that he is a hero and to not let anyone else tell him different. Charlie later regards this as one of the best moments of his life. ("Greatest Hits")
