Charles Widmore

Michael remembers that later, Frank told him that the wreckage is fake and he's on the freighter because Charles Widmore believed him.

Ben tells Charles that he's going to murder Charles' daughter the way Charles murdered Ben's daughter, but Charles says that he's playing the victim and it was Ben that murdered Alex, not Charles. Charles says Ben will never find Penny.

Ben says Charles will never find the island.

In the past on the island, the man with the name Jones on his uniform is actually a young Charles Widmore.

Charles gives Locke a passport with the name Jeremy Bentham and gives him a file on where each of the Oceanic 6 is. He also gives him a driver, Matthew Abaddon, whom Locke remembers as the orderly who told him to go on the Walkabout.

Several years later, Charles sends Ben to kill Rousseau, but Ben comes back with her baby and says that he didn't kill her because she is not a threat to them. Charles says he should have killed the baby and Ben holds the baby out to Charles and tells Charles to do it. Charles walks away.

Several years later, Charles is banished from the island. Ben says it's because he had been going back and forth from the island to the mainland and he had a daughter with an outsider. Charles says that Ben is taking what is Charles' and that someday Ben will be in the exact same position.

In the present, Charles shows up at the hospital where Desmond has been taken after being shot by Ben. He asks Eloise how Desmond is and Eloise says he's going to be fine. Eloise says he should go in and say hello to his daughter and he says that his relationship with his daughter is one of things he had to sacrifice. She says not to talk to her about sacrifice, she had to send her son to the island. Charles says, "He's my son, too, Eloise," and she slaps him.
