* LackOfEmpathy: None of Keamy's crimes provoke any response from him; after killing Alex (whose sobbing pleas don't do a thing to Keamy), he just turns and walks away without a word, he slashes Dr. Ray's throat without so much as blinking, and he outright ''[[SlasherSmile smiles]]'' when showing off the DeadMansSwitch that will kill everyone on the Freighter if he dies.

Added DiffLines:

* VilerNewVillain: While the Others did a lot of awful things to the survivors, they were [[WellIntentionedExtremist Well-Intentioned Extremists]] whose ultimate goal was simply to protect the Island, and at least a few of them had [[AffablyEvil a friendly demeanour]]. By contrast, the mercenaries, and especially Keamy himself, are utterly heartless psychopaths whose goal is to capture Ben and then murder everyone else on the Island.

* BadBoss: Subverted; he's first seen beating the snot out of a crewman who tried to visit the Island out of boredom, but given the [[SanitySlippage harmful effects]] even being near the Island are causing several of Gault's crew, effects made worse by getting closer to the Island, his actions are closer to tough love than any kind of cruelty. When the time comes to stand up to Keamy, Gault doesn't hesitate to draw a gun in defense of his crew.



* AmbiguouslyEvil: She was hired by then-BigBad Charles Widmore, lied about the nature of her mission to the survivors, and [[UnreliableExpositor Ben]] claims that she's extremely dangerous, but Naomi also seemingly helps the survivors with no obvious ill intent, and she doesn't seem to be affiliated with the definitely malicious Keamy beyond their mutual employer. Whether or not Naomi was genuinely well-intentioned is an answer that she takes to her grave.

!!Martin Christopher Keamy



* DirtyCoward: Keamy uses a DeadMansSwitch to ensure his own protection, kicks a grenade towards his own right-hand man to save himself, and in the flash-sideways, starts trying to bargain with Sayid the instant that the tables turn.



* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Keamy first appears enthusiastically shooting skeet with Omar, announcing "kill shot!" after he hits one. If that didn't make [[PsychoForHire what kind of person he is]] clear to the audience, upon arriving on the Island, he and his men shoot the unarmed Karl unprovoked and do the same to Danielle when she tries to grab Alex and run.



* FromCamouflageToCriminal: According to Ben, Keamy was a sergeant in the Marine Corps before he became a mercenary.



* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Omar.

to:

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Omar. {{Subverted|Trope}}, as Keamy has no reaction to Omar's death, despite the fact that ''he'' caused it.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Keamy derisively calls Richard a coward for shooting him in the back, which is a bit rich coming from a man wearing a DeadMansSwitch connected to a massive pile of C4, intended to kill dozens of innocent people, to prevent anyone from killing him, and who had kicked a grenade towards one of his own men to save his own life.



* NoodleIncident: Whatever he did in Uganda was significant enough for Ben to draw attention to it.

to:

* LackOfEmpathy: None of Keamy's crimes provoke any response from him; after killing Alex (whose sobbing pleas don't do a thing to Keamy), he just turns and walks away without a word, he slashes Dr. Ray's throat without so much as blinking, and he outright ''smiles'' when showing off the DeadMansSwitch that will kill everyone on the Freighter if he dies.
* MoreDespicableMinion: Widmore is in no way a good person, but he at least has ''some'' lines he won't cross, and he genuinely loves his daughter. Keamy, in contrast, is a rabid psychopath with no redeeming qualities, showing no emotion when he kills one of his loyal troops.
* NoodleIncident: Whatever he did in Uganda was significant enough for Ben to draw attention to it.it, and for Keamy to be surprised that Ben is aware of it.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Keamy derisively refers to Richard as Ben's "boyfriend" as an insult.


Added DiffLines:

* TyrantTakesTheHelm: After killing Gault, Keamy effectively assumes command of the Kahana.

Added DiffLines:

* DragonInChief: Technically, Keamy is supposed to be subservient to Gault, since he's the captain of the freighter. However, it soon becomes clear that Gault has no real control or authority over him, and Keamy is a far greater threat to the survivors. The first time Gault manages to challenge Keamy, Keamy kills him, [[TyrantTakesTheHelm effectively declaring himself the new captain]].

* CrazyPrepared: Keamy packs all manner of weaponry, has body armor, loads the ship with C4 and straps himself with a DeadManSwitch.
* DeadManSwitch: Straps one to his arm. If his heart stops beating, the freighter explodes and kills everyone on it.

* DoomedByCanon: One of the oddest uses of this trope ever made; due to the TimeyWimeyBall surrounding the Island, we see his dead body days before we see what killed him, so for most of his appearances it's clear that he's a dead man walking.



* BullyingTheDragon: He seems to think that he could get away with shooting Alex right in front of her father's eyes. Instead, Ben [[SummonBiggerFish calls the Monster in for help]] and almost all of his forces get completely curb-stomped.

Being The Dragon has specific qualification that go beyond just being another villain's second-in-command. For one thing, only the actual Big Bad or an Arc Villain can have one. Additionally, they have to be the penultimate threat leading up to the aforementioned antagonist.
