* ButtMonkey: Mars apprehends Kate, an amateur criminal who should be an easy catch, but a horse appears causing his car to crash and her to escape. He subsequently spends years on an obsessive hunt for her across the world, only to be foiled, humiliated or physically hurt at every turn. Then he finally, ''finally'', catches...only for the plane they're on to crash on an island of horrors. He's mortally wounded in the crash, Kate once again escapes capture and he spends the next few hours slowly dying in abject ''agony''. Oh, and the first attempt to euthanize him was botched, putting him in even ''more'' poin to the point where Jack (who never lets a patient go) is forced to MercyKill him. To make things worse, nobody knew they were on an island with magical healing abilities, so there was a chance he could have survived if Jack had known that and adjusted his treatment. Edward Mars did not have good luck.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Mars did survive the crash of Flight 815, but he was seriously wounded and spent the first few days after the crash in and out of consciousness, with his conscious moments being agonizing. Making matters worse, when Sawyer tries to put him out of his misery, he botches it, shooting Mars in the lung and causing to start drowning in his own blood before Jack finally ends Mars' suffering.

* AccidentalMisnaming: Hurley kept mispronouncing his name as "Arnzt", no matter how much Arzt corrects him (even after Arzt's death, Hurley notes that Jack has "some Arnzt" on him). That said, Arzt still prefers "Arnzt" to [[EmbarassingFirstName Leslie]].

* HasTwoMommies: His biological mother, Claire, and adoptive mother Kate.

* SatelliteCharacter: He's only really important in relation to Claire, Charlie, and Kate. Justified, as Aaron is a newborn baby pre-TimeSkip and only three years old after it, so he doesn't have much of a personality of his own.



* BookEnds: One of the first things Jack sees on the Island is Vincent running through the jungle. One of the last things he sees on the Island and in his life is Vincent coming out of the jungle to lie next to him as he passes away.

* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: Mars brought ''five'' extra guns with him to transport Kate, considering her dangerous enough to justify the extra firepower.

* EmbarrassingFirstName: After insulting Hurley for pronouncing 'Arzt' as 'Arnzt', Hurley retorts by using his first name. Leslie responds with, 'Arnzt is fine'.

* LudicrousGibs: All that's left of Arzt after his death is some small chunks of meat. Hurley notices some that landed on Jack's shoulder.
-->'''Hurley:''' ''[audibly grossed out]'' You got some... Arnzt on you.



* OddFriendship:
** He, an irritable and plain middle school teacher, forms somewhat of a friendship with the attractive and glamorous Nikki.
** In the flash-sideways, Arzt is friends with ''Ben'' of all people (albeit a much more mild-mannered Ben than the audience is used to), to the point that he doesn't object to Ben using his first name.



* TooDumbToLive: Arzt waves a stick of dynamite like it's a banana right after talking about the dangers of not being careful with it.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In a webisode, he admits he lied about the tides to Michael to leave the Island faster, desperate to be rescued. While the Island wouldn't have let Michael, Walt, and Sawyer leave, Arzt's actions indirectly led to the raft encountering the Others as well as lead to Walt's kidnapping.

Added DiffLines:

* JerkassHasAPoint: The first few time skips deprived the survivors of their established camp, shelter, food, and supplies; as unhelpful as Neil's whining was, the situation was as bleak as he claimed.


Added DiffLines:

* CanadaEh: Nathan claimed to have been from Canada, and given his being a RedHerring, he was probably telling the truth.
* {{Fingore}}: Ana-Lucia intended to cut off one of Nathan's fingers to further interrogate him. Nathan managed to avoid being maimed, [[NeckSnap not that it helped him much]].
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Inverted; Nathan knew absolutely nothing about the Others, which is why Goodwin killed him; as Goodwin points out, if Nathan continued to maintain his innocence after Ana-Lucia cut off one of his fingers, she'd likely start to believe him. Killing Nathan and making it look like the Others extracted him served the dual purpose of keeping Nathan quiet and maintaining Goodwin's own cover.


Added DiffLines:

* TheScapegoat: Goodwin didn't actively frame Nathan, but he was fine with Nathan being mistaken for the mole, as it kept suspicion off of him.

Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguousSituation: In the mobisode "So it Begins", Vincent encounters Christian Shephard, who tells him to go find his son because he has work to do; the next scene is the opening scene of the pilot, in which Vincent locates Jack just after he awakes. Since it's not clear which version of Christian he encountered (Man in Black or genuine spirit), it's not clear if he genuinely understood what Christian wanted or happened upon Jack by accident.


Added DiffLines:

* LivingMacguffin: Vincent running off into the jungle and forcing other survivors to look for him is used to put the survivors in the jungle for plot reasons on six different occasions.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: As a dog, it's hard for him to have an impact on the show's plot, but he still does - he's the one who finds Desmond in the well and brings Rose and Bernard to him, saving Desmond's life and leading the Man in Black to them.
* StayWithMeUntilIDie: In a mirror of the show's opening scene, as Jack is dying from his stab wound, Vincent comes out of the brush and lays by his side until he closes his eyes.
