Secondary characters

The following characters are other crash survivors or island residents who play or have played a supporting role in the plot.

Bernard

Rose


Aaron Littleton

File:Aaronlost.jpg
Aaron Littleton

Born to Claire Littleton on the island, Aaron Littleton was originally going to be adopted after birth. A psychic told Claire that she must raise the baby herself, (at least not by another, possibly an "other") but when she refused the psychic arranged 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.

Cindy Chandler

Cindy was a flight attendant on Flight 815 and is the only known surviving cabin crew member of the crash. She landed with the tail section survivors and, of the 22 of them, was one of only five not to have been killed or taken by "the Others". During the journey back to the mid-section survivors' camp, she disappears. She confirmed that Flight 815 was flying off course. When Nathan is suspected of being an "Other", Cindy claims having good memory of the passengers' faces but not remembering Nathan. Despite this, Cindy casts no doubt on Goodwin's having being on the plane, nor does she recognize Jin, Michael, or Sawyer. Cindy is also the love interest of Gary Troup, the author of the Lost tie-in novel Bad Twin. It has been said by the show's writers that Cindy will "reappear" in season 3, although perhaps not until the latter stages of the forthcoming season. Whether we will see the character again in the flesh is unclear, although it's been stated that we'll find out what she's been up to since her mysterious disappearance in "Abandoned."

Edward Mars

  • Played by: Fredric Lane
  • Also known as: "the marshal"
  • Appears in: "Pilot: Part 1", "Pilot: Part 2", "Tabula Rasa", "Exodus: Part 1", "Exodus: Part 3", "What Kate Did"
  • Reason for trip: Bringing the fugitive Kate Austen back to the United States
  • Profession: US Marshal
  • Origin of Name: Echoes the criminal Eddie Mars in The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler

U.S. Marshal Edward Mars had been pursuing Kate for three years before capturing her in Australia, and was on Flight 815 to extradite her to the United States. He is badly injured during the crash and whenever he regains consciousness, he warns that Kate is dangerous. 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.

Dr. Leslie Arzt

File:Lost S01E24 Arzt.jpg
Leslie Arzt moments before his death
  • Played by: Daniel Roebuck
  • Also known as: "Arnzt"(Hurley)
  • Appears in: "Born To Run", "Exodus: Part 1", "Exodus: Part 2", "Exodus: Part 3"
  • Profession: Ninth grade science teacher
  • Origin of Name: The German translation of "doctor."[3]

Leslie Arzt, who asks the survivors to address him as "Doctor" ('Arzt' is the German word for "doctor"), was a ninth grade science teacher. 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, at the current temperature, dynamite sweats nitroglycerin, the most reactive substance known to man. After Arzt wraps a stick of dynamite in Kate's shirt, the dynamite explodes in his hands, killing him.

Vincent

File:Vincentlost.png
Vincent, played by Madison

Vincent is Walt's dog (a Yellow Labrador Retriever). Michael told Walt that he was given to him by his stepfather which was not actually true. 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. Vincent is left on the island when Michael and Walt leave on the boat given to them by the Others.

Island inhabitants

The following lists all the inhabitants of the island that were not in Flight 815 and were (presumably) already on the island at the time of the crash.

Desmond Hume

"Henry Gale"

Danielle Rousseau

  • Played by: Mira Furlan
  • Appears in: "Pilot: Part 2" (voice), "Solitary", "Numbers", "Exodus: Part 1", "Exodus: Part 2", "Exodus: Part 3", "One of Them", "Maternity Leave"
  • Profession: Scientist
  • Origin of name: Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 18th century philosopher
  • Also known as: The French Woman or "The French Chick" (Hurley, Sawyer, Ana Lucia)
File:Thefrenchchick.jpg
Danielle withdraws her rifle

Danielle Rousseau is a French woman who has been on the island for approximately 16 years and is responsible for the distress signal that Sayid found. She traps Sayid, thinking that he is one of "the Others", and holds him prisoner. When he insists that he does not know anything about her missing daughter Alex, she tortures him with electric shocks. While holding Sayid prisoner, she tells him how she came to the island. Danielle was on a science expedition, which included amongst several others, her husband Robert. Her science team was armed with rifles. When the team members "became infected" she killed them all, in order to ensure that when they got rescued, the contamination would not spread. She estimates that the island is at least three days away from Tahiti.

Sayid and Danielle hear a noise outside of her camp. While she is out hunting it, Sayid steals her maps and notes about the island, grabs her other rifle, and escapes back to the other survivors. Before letting Sayid go, she tells him that her companions started to become sick, so she killed them one by one. She then gave birth to a daughter, Alex, and shortly afterwards a plume of black smoke appeared and "the Others" kidnapped Alex. After seeing that the papers Sayid stole contain "the numbers", Hurley searches for Danielle. She tells him that the numbers were being broadcast on the radio, and she knows nothing about them.

She takes some of the crash survivors to an old ship called the Black Rock, while trying to get dynamite to blow the hatch, in an area she called the "dark territory". They come up against the monster, but Danielle describes it as a "security system" that was there to protect the island. Earlier, she had told them that the transmitter carrying the "numbers" broadcast, which her team picked up and followed to the island, was near the Black Rock.

After another plume appears in the distance, Danielle warns the survivors that "the Others" are coming. While everyone prepares for their arrival, she kidnaps Claire's baby, Aaron. Sayid and Charlie pursue her and find her with the baby near the source of the black smoke, planning to exchange Aaron for her own child, Alex. However, she did not find "the Others" there. Sayid and Charlie, who believes Danielle lit the fire for the plume of black smoke herself, return Aaron to Claire. Sayid, however, noticed there were no tracks beside the fire. Some weeks later, Danielle finds Sayid and takes him to a trap she set. A man, "Henry Gale", is inside, who she claims is an "Other". When "Henry" tries to escape, Danielle wounds him with an arrow.

Danielle arrives at camp one night to warn Claire that Aaron is sick. The next day she helps Kate and Claire search for a DHARMA station. Claire remembers that after she escaped from the station when she was pregnant, Danielle helped her get back to her camp. Before Danielle leaves back into her lonely life Claire tells her she witnessed a teenaged girl in medical hatch. Claire explains that this girl is of good nature and might have been Danielle's daughter who was kidnapped. Danielle smiles at this news and departs.

File:Mrfreindly.jpg
Tom, wearing his fake beard.

Tom

  • Played by: M.C. Gainey
  • Also Known as: "Mr. Friendly" (Writers), "Zeke","Bluebeard" (By Sawyer, based on his appearance)
  • Appears in: "Exodus: Part 3", "The Hunting Party", "Maternity Leave", "Three Minutes", "Live Together, Die Alone: Part 2

Tom is apparently the spokesman for "the Others". When he first encounters the survivors, he abducts Walt, and his henchmen blow up the raft and shoot Sawyer. Jack, Locke, and Sawyer later encounter Tom while searching for Michael. He tells them that Walt is fine, but scolds the group for being curious and "opening doors that shouldn't be opened." He also says that Michael will not find Walt or "the Others", "where he is" (unbeknownst to Jack and his friends, Tom has already captured Michael and has him bound and gagged in a nearby clearing). Tom reveals that dozens of his people are surrounding the trio. He explains that right now they just have a misunderstanding, and that the only reason the survivors are still living on the island is because "the Others" allow them. He then brings out Kate, whom he has captured, and tells Jack that he can have her back if the survivors surrender their weapons and stay on their side of the island. During this encounter Sawyer refers to him as "Zeke", a stereotypical name for a rustic. However Tom is seen looking more clean-cut and without his beard, briefly talking to Ethan Rom in Claire's flashback. Later, Kate finds theatrical glue and a false beard that Tom had worn. When Ana Lucia suggests that Tom is the leader of "the Others", the fake Henry Gale replies, "Him? He's no one! Nothing!"--and sure enough, when Tom captures Jack, Kate, Sawyer, and Hurley in the Season Two finale and delivers them to the Pala Ferry Dock, 'Henry' openly chides him for removing his fake beard in front of the captives, making Henry seem to be an authority figure.

File:Ethanrom.jpg
Ethan Rom

Ethan Rom

  • Played by: William Mapother
  • Appears in: "Solitary", "Raised by Another", "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues", "Homecoming", "Maternity Leave"

Ethan Rom says he is from Ontario. He initially appears to be a survivor of the crash, helping Locke with boar hunting. However, while conducting a census Hurley discovers that Ethan is not on the flight manifest. Ethan kidnaps Claire and Charlie, setting off a frantic manhunt. Jack and Kate catch up to him and he threatens to kill Charlie or Claire if the pursuit continues. Making good on his promise, Ethan hangs Charlie from a tree, but Jack and Kate rescue him.

He takes Claire to a DHARMA Initiative station (The Staff) where she is given medical attention and a nursery for Aaron. However, before she gives birth, Alex Rousseau helps Claire escape from "the Others", who plan on surgically removing the baby from Claire's womb. Danielle then carries an unconscious Claire back to the camp. Ethan returns and demands that Charlie bring Claire to him or he will kill the survivors one by one. When the group fails to do so, Ethan kills Scott. The next day Ethan is ambushed and subdued by Jack, Sayid, Locke, Sawyer, and Kate, who are armed with handguns from the U.S. Marshal's briefcase. Their hopes of taking him prisoner and interrogating him are dashed, however, when Charlie appears and kills Ethan with a gun dropped by Jack in the struggle.

File:AlexadraLOST.jpg
Alexandra Rousseau

Alexandra "Alex" Rousseau

  • Played by: Tania Raymonde
  • Appears in: "Maternity Leave", "Three Minutes", "Live Together, Die Alone: Part 2" (no dialogue)

Alexandra Rousseau, commonly referred to as Alex, is the daughter of Danielle Rousseau, born on the Island 16 years ago and stolen by the Others a week after being born. Even though she was raised by the Others, she helped Claire escape from the DHARMA Initiative station, The Staff, warning her that Ethan and his cohorts were planning on extracting her baby via c-section and leaving her to die. Alex was forced to render Claire unconscious because of the drugs she had been fed by Ethan.

When Michael is taken hostage by the others (shown in flashback in the episode "Three Minutes"), Alex is amongst the Others responsible. She doesn't seem to want to help the Others hurt the survivors. She asks about Claire, and asks if the baby has been born, and whether it's a boy or girl.

File:PickettTheOther.jpg
Pickett glares at Michael in "Three Minutes"

Pickett

  • Played by: Michael Bowen
  • Appears in: "The Hunting Party" (no dialogue), "Three Minutes," "Live Together, Die Alone: Part 2" (no dialogue)

Pickett is one of the Others who captures Michael. He brought out Kate with her head in a sack to Sawyer, Locke and Jack. He is also the Other who watches Walt while he talks to his dad (Michael) for three minutes. He appears to be somewhat of a strongarm for the Others, as he is often moving around prisoners, often very physically.

File:Kelvin(lost).jpg
Kelvin Inman


Kelvin Joe Inman

  • Played by: Clancy Brown
  • Appears in: "One of Them," "Live Together, Die Alone: Part 1," "Live Together, Die Alone: Part 2"

Kelvin Joe Inman was formerly an intelligence operative for the United States government, actively involved with prisoner interrogation during the First Gulf War, 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 Swan Station on the island. His partner was a man named Radzinski, who taught him how to operate the blast doors and draw an invisible map on them using detergent. After Radzinski killed himself, Kelvin pressed the button alone until he found Desmond, dragging him into the Swan in a HAZMAT suit. Kelvin instructed Desmond in the operation of the blast doors and administration of the vaccine, and, during a drunken episode, told Desmond about the station's failsafe mechanism. It soon became clear to Desmond that Kelvin had become disenchanted with DHARMA and that he had some kind of ulterior motive in preventing him from leaving the hatch. In fact, unbeknownst to Desmond, Kelvin was repairing Desmond's boat and planning to escape the island, leaving Desmond to press the button alone. When Desmond discovered this, Kelvin advised him to "screw the button," saying, "We don't even know if it's real." Desmond, furious that Kelvin 'stole his life,' fought with Kelvin and accidentally killed him by smashing his head against a rock. Kelvin's death appears to have occurred mere minutes before the crash of Flight 815, as the fatal struggle between him and Desmond delayed the entry of the code.

File:Lost S02E22 CreepyLady.jpg
Ms. Bea Klugh

Bea Klugh

  • Played by: April Grace
  • Appears in: "Three Minutes," "Live Together, Die Alone: Part 2"

Ms. Klugh acts as a liaison to Michael after he is captured by The Others. She asks him questions about Walt, to which he does not know the answers. After Henry Gale is captured, Ms. Klugh tasks Michael with freeing Henry and bringing four of his friends back to The Others' camp. She allows him to see Walt for three minutes before he leaves. In the season 2 finale, she reveals that the person nicknamed "Mr. Friendly" is called Tom so he in turn reveals her name to be "Bea".

File:Goodwinlost.jpg
Goodwin.

Goodwin

Goodwin was a spy for "the Others" who lived among the tail section survivors, claiming to be a former member of the Peace Corps. Days after Nathan is accused of being a traitor and thrown in a pit-cage, Goodwin kills him, as he feared that if he continued to claim innocence after being tortured, Ana-Lucia would have believed him and suspect someone else. While alone, Ana-Lucia reveals that she knows Goodwin is one of "the Others". Before Goodwin dies, he implies that the survivors who had been abducted are "good people." "Nathan was not a good person," Goodwin tells Ana-Lucia. "That's why he wasn't on the list." Ana-Lucia and Goodwin get into a fight, which ends when Goodwin inadvertently impales himself on a large stick.

Goodwin's comment about how "the Others" are "good people" is paralleled when Henry Gale, defends himself by saying that he "is not a bad person." Henry also says that Goodwin actually considered Ana-Lucia a good person, telling his fellow "Others" that she wasn't bad, just misunderstood. When he attacked Ana-Lucia, says Henry, he was not planning to kill her.

Video characters

The following are characters that have only been seen in the 1980's Orientation videos for the DHARMA Initiative stations and all information on them comes from these videos. Their current status remains unknown.

"Dr. Marvin Candle" / "Dr. Mark Wickman"

File:Dharma video clip.jpg
Marvin Candle as he appears in the Station 3 film.

Marvin Candle and Mark Wickman are the names that the man in the DHARMA Initiative orientation films calls himself. It is unknown if one or either is his real name, or if they are even the same person.

In the Station 3 Orientation film, "Candle"'s left arm appears to be a prosthetic. In the Station 5 Orientation video, both of "Wickman"'s arms move.

Gerald and Karen DeGroot

  • Gerald DeGroot played by: Michael Gilday
  • Karen DeGroot played by: Courtney Lavigne
  • Appear in: "Orientation", "What Kate Did", "?"
  • Profession: Scientists

Gerald and Karen DeGroot were a couple of 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...").

Alvar Hanso

  • Appears in: "Orientation"
  • Profession: Businessman, former arms salesman and manufacturer

The Danish reclusive creator of the Hanso Foundation, a former NATO arms supplier. He is only seen once in The Swan Orientation video. Hanso was an arms supplier for various resistance movements in World War II and then for NATO during the Cold War.

Most of the information on him comes from the Hanso Foundation website.

Flashback characters

Many characters have appeared through the main characters' flashbacks, and are not on the island. See IMDB for a complete listing of all guest and flashback characters.

Dr. Christian Shephard

Dr. Christian Shephard
  • Played by: John Terry
  • Appears in: "Walkabout" (no dialogue), "White Rabbit," "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues," "Outlaws," "Do No Harm," "Man of Science, Man of Faith," "The Hunting Party," "Two for the Road"
  • Profession: Former chief of surgery at St. Sebastian Hospital
  • Character relations: Jack (father), Ana Lucia (companion), Sawyer (bar acquaintance)

Christian Shephard is the father of Jack Shephard and the chief of surgery at St. Sebastian Hospital. According to Jack, Christian was the reason for Jack becoming a doctor, however he was often hard on his son, encouraging Jack to avoid trying to save everyone and instead focus on letting go when the time calls for it so that he could "have what it takes". Jack says that Christian was hated by many people throughout his life, but instead of taking responsibility he blamed it on fate. Although Christian's relationship with his son was unstable at times, he occasionally provided Jack with inspirational advice, particularly the night before Jack's wedding. However, the major (and ultimately final) chasm in their relationship came as a result of Christian's drinking problem. While operating on a patient while intoxicated, Christian severed an artery, resulting in the patient's death. Christian managed to convince Jack not to report that Christian, operating under the influence, had caused the patient's death, but Jack changed his mind when he discovered that the patient was pregnant, ending Christian's medical career. Christian and Jack never spoke to each other after this incident.

Christian later met Ana-Lucia at a bar in LAX. After a brief conversation, he convinces her to accompany him to Australia to serve as a bodyguard, saying that it is fate. After several days of drinking, Christian has Ana-Lucia take him to a house where he confronts a blonde-haired woman. Christian then demands to see his daughter, but is beaten away by the woman. The next day, Ana-Lucia leaves Christian, calling him pathetic. Christian goes into a nearby bar and meets Sawyer, where he tells him that he is made to suffer by fate. "That's why the Red Sox will never win the damn series," Christian says to him. Christian then tells Sawyer about Jack, and how, despite what Jack thinks, he loves his son and is proud of him for doing the right thing, calling him a great man. (Later, on the Island, after hearing Jack repeat Christian's expression about the Red Sox, Sawyer realizes that Jack is the son Christian was talking about.) Christian dies not long after his meeting with Sawyer, due to a heart attack caused by a high blood-alcohol content. Jack, in Australia looking for him, identifies his body at the morgue and has his body put on Flight 815 with him, so that he can have the funeral as soon as the flight lands in order to be "done with it". Jack finds Christian's casket on the island, but the body is not inside. In "Walkabout" and "White Rabbit", Jack has visions of Christian on the island.

Although he doesn't tell Jack Christian's words at first, before boarding the raft, Sawyer said to Jack what Christian wanted to, finally allowing Jack to relieve himself of the guilt brought on by the death of his father.

Sarah Shephard

File:SarahShephard.jpg
Sarah Shephard
  • Played by: Julie Bowen
  • Appears in: "Do No Harm", "Man of Science, Man of Faith," "The Hunting Party"
  • Character relation: Jack (ex-wife)

Sarah Shephard was Jack's wife. Eight months before her wedding to her fiancé, Kevin, she was involved in a car crash with an SUV driven by Adam Rutherford (Shannon's father and Boone's stepfather). She is rushed to St. Sebastian hospital, and is treated by Jack. Sarah has broken her back, 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 prepare to marry. Sometime later, Sarah leaves Jack. Prior her leaving, Jack confronts her and he admits to kissing the daughter of a patient who had died in surgery - she in return, reveals that she has been seeing someone else due to Jack's frequent absence and wishes to leave.

Anthony Cooper

File:AnthonyCooper.jpg
Anthony Cooper

Anthony Cooper is Locke's biological father. Cooper is an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting, fishing, and scuba diving, among other things. Cooper impregnated Emily Locke, however she told him that she wasn’t going to have the baby before leaving him. Over a year later Emily came back with the news that she had put their son, John, up for adoption. Years passed without Cooper even trying to seek his son. However, in his older years his kidneys failed and he needed a transplant. Emily came back asking for money once again, and Cooper agreed to help her if she found John for him. When he met with his son for the first time, he extended an invitation to go hunting, which John, who never knew his father, accepted. The next few weeks Cooper and John bonded over hunting, and it seemed as if they had forged the father-son relationship John had always hoped for. Then Cooper told John of his kidney failure, and Locke immediately donated his kidney to his father. Upon waking up after the surgery, however, Locke discovered that Cooper had left, going back to his home. When John tried to visit his father he was denied access, realizing that there was no bond between them; Cooper had simply used his son for a kidney.

Unable to let go, John continued to park outside Cooper’s house, even after Cooper had moved. Cooper eventually met with his son for the first time since the surgery, and told 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 conned two men out of $700,000. Afraid they might kill him, Cooper faked his death, then enlisted his son’s help to get the money from a safety deposit box, promising him $200,000. When John delivered the money, he rejected it, saying that he didn’t do it for the money. John then told Cooper about Helen, and how he was planning on proposing to her. Just then, Helen herself appears at the door and slapped Cooper for not letting John find peace and put his past behind him after finding out about his father's death. She then confronted John about his promise to let go of Cooper, and rejected his proposal. Cooper then left John, with only the slightest bit of sympathy for his son and what he had done to him in his face.
