14
15	The captain of the freighter Kahana sent by Widmore to find the island and Benjamin Linus. He is originally seen as antagonistic and untrustworthy, but he later becomes an ally of Desmond and Sayid, allowing them the freighter's zodiac boat to ferry castaways from the island to the freighter after he becomes concerned at the lengths Keamy is willing to go to secure Ben.
16	----
17	* 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.
18	* BadassLongcoat: Wears a long sweeping coat.
19	* CharacterDeath: When Gault tries to stop Keamy from going to the island to carry out his mission, the crazed mercenary pulls a gun and shoots him in the heart. Gault dies instantly.
20	* TheGoodCaptain: Of the Kahana. He turns out to be a decent man, as opposed to an untrustworthy villain like many assumed he would be.
21	* GoodIsNotNice: Gault is a hard-ass, but a good man at heart.
22	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He appears aggressive and callous, but Gault actually does try to do the right thing despite his tough exterior.
23	* KilledMidSentence: Keamy shoots him in the heart when Gault turns to ask another mercenary [[DeadMansSwitch what Keamy has strapped to his arm]].
24	* PunctuatedPounding: While beating up his crew members.
25	* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Despite Widmore's orders, Gault rescues Desmond and Sayid before trying to stop Keamy himself.

35
36	The communications officer aboard Widmore's freighter. Though he at first obstructs the survivors' attempts to contact the outside world, he later assists Desmond in calling Penny. He ultimately dies of temporal displacement on the boat. He later appears in the Sideways world as Desmond's driver, where he gives him the Oceanic 815 manifest.
37	----
38	* ButtMonkey: In his physical appearance, he becomes sick and gets restrained. He keeps going through his horrible time displacement illness before finally dying.
39	* CharacterDeath: Minkowski is unfortunately unable to find his constant, and dies from temporal displacement.
40	* DeadlyNosebleed: A symptom of his temporal displacement.
41	* DeadpanSnarker: He even makes jokes about his own SanitySlippage.
42	* TheDriver: For Desmond in Season 6.
43	* HookersAndBlow: What he offers Desmond in Season 6. Des is mildly weirded out and declines.
44	* NiceGuy: Basically a pleasant, goodhearted man who tries to make friends with 'Kevin'.
45	* PluckyComicRelief: In his Season 6 appearance.
46	* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Serves as this to the freighter crew who travel to the Island, communicating with them via their satellite phones.
47	* SanitySlippage: Minkowski is actually sane, but the temporal displacement makes him appear crazy to the average person.
48	* WeHardlyKnewYe: The audience learns very little about him before he succumbs to the temporal displacement.

52	!!Ray
53	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ray_1494.jpg]]
54	[[caption-width-right:250:''"I said I'm just a doctor."'']]
55	->'''Played By:''' Marc Vann
56
57	A physician who served aboard the freighter Kahana.
58	----
59	* AssholeVictim: Of Keamy. He was such a jerk that he isn't mourned much.
60	* BaldOfEvil: Although he isn't so much evil as callous and lazy.
61	* CharacterDeath: Keamy cuts his throat and tosses him overboard, mostly to prove a point to Frank.
62	* 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.
63	* FourEyesZeroSoul: He wears a thin pair of glasses, and as stated he's borderline evil.
64	* DrJerk: He has no interest in his 'patients', dismissing them as 'crazy' and not even trying to help them. Ray gives off the impression of desperately not wanting to be on the ship, and tries to do as little actual work as possible.
65	* SlashedThroat: By Keamy.
66	* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: In a way. His body appeared before his death (due to time difficulties), but his death is sudden and violent.
67	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Keamy kills him merely to prove a point, although [[YouHaveFailedMe his failure to save one of Keamy's wounded mercenaries may have contributed.]]

71	!!Regina
72	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/regina_9570.jpg]]
73	->'''Played By:''' Creator/ZoeBell
74
75	A crew member aboard the Kahana.
76	----
77	* CharacterDeath: Suffering from cabin fever, Regina covers herself in chains and jumps into the ocean.
78	* DrivenToSuicide: By her cabin fever. She weighs herself down with chains and jumps into the sea.
79	* MauveShirt: She exists mostly to show how badly circumstances on the freighter have deteriorated.
80	* SanitySlippage: As part of the cabin fever brought on by the island, she started to go crazy. Frank caught her reading a book upside-down.
81	* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: After Minkowski gets sick.
82	* WeHardlyKnewYe: She made an extremely brief appearance before dying.

92	!!Naomi Dorrit
93	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dorrit_naomi_2285.jpg]]
94	[[caption-width-right:250:''"This is a high risk covert op in unstable territory. It's dodgy enough without having to babysit a headcase, ghost buster, anthropologist and a drunk."'']]
95	->'''Played By:''' Creator/MarshaThomason
96
97	Recruited by Matthew Abaddon and employed by Charles Widmore, Naomi is the leader of the group on a mission to capture Ben Linus and remove him from the island. She is the first to arrive on the island and tells the Oceanic survivors of the freighter Kahana. While she claims she is there to rescue Desmond Hume, her true mission is later revealed. Naomi dies of her wounds after Locke throws a knife into her back.
98	----
99	* ActionGirl: She was able to climb a tree while dying from a knife wound, and leaps from the tree to get the drop on Kate.
100	** DarkActionGirl: According to Ben, although we never see her do anything truly evil aside from working for Widmore while having knowledge of his tendency to murder people.
101	* 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.
102	* CharacterDeath: Locke knifes Naomi in the back. She survives for a few hours afterwards, even managing to get a warning out to the freighter, but then dies from her injuries.
103	* DeadpanSnarker: She has her share of snarky lines.
104	-->'''Naomi:''' Jack, can I ask you a question?
105	-->'''Jack:''' Sure.
106	-->'''Naomi:''' What did you do for a living before you became Moses?
107	* ExactWords: When she brings Miles to see a dead body in the back of a restaurant.
108	-->'''Miles''': You did say you were taking me out to dinner.
109	-->'''Naomi''': No, I said I was taking you to a restaurant.
110	* InTheBack: With a knife, from Locke.
111	* MadeOfIron: She manages to survive a punctured lung and a knife to the back for quite a while.
112	* PrivateMilitaryContractors: Naomi is more mercenary than anything else.
113	* {{Omniglot}}: She's fluent in several different languages.

116	[[folder:Keamy]]
117	!!Martin Christopher Keamy
118	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/keamy_martin_2493.jpg]]
119	[[caption-width-right:250:''"[[WouldHurtAChild Tell your daddy goodbye.]]"'']]
120	->'''Played By:''' Creator/KevinDurand
121
122	-->'''Keamy''': What kind of [[PsychoForHire guy]] do you think I am?
123	-->'''Ben''': Martin Christopher Keamy — former first sergeant, [[SemperFi United States Marine Corps]], served with distinction from 1996 to 2001, but since then, you've worked with a number of [[PrivateMilitaryContractors mercenary organizations]], [[NoodleIncident specifically in Uganda]]. So I know exactly what kind of [[SociopathicSoldier man you are, Mr. Keamy,]] and we can dispense with the formalities.
124	-->'''Keamy''': [[BerserkButton Okay, Ben. You got it.]]
125
126	The lead mercenary on the Kahana and a former Marine. Keamy leads a team onto the island to find Ben, killing Karl and Danielle Rousseau and later executing Alex in front of Ben. Keamy eventually tracks Ben down and is stabbed to death by him. His death causes the freighter to explode via a fail-deadly switch which monitors his heartbeat.
127	----
128	* AllDevouringBlackHoleLoanSharks: In the flash-sideways.
129	* AxCrazy: Keamy becomes increasingly unhinged as he goes back and forth between the island and the freighter. Gault suggests he's suffering from the same cabin fever that affected Regina and Minkowski.
130	* BitchInSheepsClothing: He seems perfectly pleasant when he's first introduced. [[AxCrazy That is not the case.]]
131	* 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.
132	* CharacterDeath: Keamy follows Ben down to the Orchid. After being distracted briefly by Locke, Ben knocks him to the ground with his baton and stabs him in the neck with Keamy's own knife.
133	* CrazyPrepared: Keamy packs all manner of weaponry, has body armor, loads the ship with C4 and straps himself with a DeadMansSwitch.
134	* DeadMansSwitch: Straps one to his arm. If his heart stops beating, the freighter explodes and kills everyone on it.
135	* DeadpanSnarker: Keamy tends to respond to protests with a deadpan retort.
136	-->'''Gault''': The reason there are two keys is we're only supposed to open the safe together.
137	-->'''Keamy''': You're here, aren't you?
138	* DefiantToTheEnd: Even as he's bleeding out on the floor, Keamy taunts Ben.
139	* 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.
140	* 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]].
141	* 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.
142	* FauxAffablyEvil: Tries to play this with both Ben and Sayid, but neither of them fall for it, and he quickly drops the pleasantries and gets much more violent.
143	* FromCamouflageToCriminal: According to Ben, Keamy was a sergeant in the Marine Corps before he became a mercenary.
144	* HateSink: Along with Anthony Cooper, one of the only villains with no redeeming features whatsoever.
145	* TheHeavy: Of Season 4. While Charles Widmore is the true BigBad of that season, he’s not on the island on threaten the heroes. Keamy, meanwhile, leads the invasion of Dharmaville, kills Alex, and is responsible for blowing up the Freighter.
146	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Omar. {{Subverted\|Trope}}, as Keamy has no reaction to Omar's death, despite the fact that ''he'' caused it.
147	* {{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.
148	* IShallTauntYou: It backfires. He tries to lure Ben out with taunts, but is briefly distracted by Locke. Ben seizes the opportunity to attack from behind and smash him across the head with his baton before stabbing him in the neck.
149	* ImplacableMan: It's tough to take this guy down; the Smoke Monster, the Others and Sayid only slow him.
150	* {{Jerkass}}: BIG TIME! Even the show's main BigBad is more sympathetic than this guy.
151	* KarmicDeath: Killed by the father of the girl he shot in cold blood. In the flash-sideways, he's killed by the brother of the man he extorted and hurt.
152	* 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.
153	* 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.
154	* NoodleIncident: Whatever he did in Uganda was significant enough for Ben to draw attention to it, and for Keamy to be surprised that Ben is aware of it.
155	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Keamy derisively refers to Richard as Ben's "boyfriend" as an insult.
156	* PrivateMilitaryContractors: He's worked with various mercenary groups.
157	* PsychoForHire: Absolutely. Ben implies he's committed atrocities in Uganda.
158	* PsychoticSmirk: Has a whole selection of this, complete with lip twitch.
159	* RasputinianDeath: Keamy is beaten, stabbed and shot in the back. It takes multiple stabbings to the neck to kill him.
160	* SemperFi: He was a marine prior to his discharge.
161	* SociopathicSoldier: Brutal, efficient, well-trained and willing to kill anybody who gets in his way.
162	* TyrantTakesTheHelm: After killing Gault, Keamy effectively assumes command of the Kahana.
163	* UnfriendlyFire: When one of the Others throws a grenade at his feet, he kicks it straight to his second in command Omar, where it blows up at his feet and kills him instead.
164	* 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.
165	* VillainousFriendship: With Omar.
166	* WouldHurtAChild: He's perfectly happy to lead an attack on The Barracks even after being alerted that a baby is amongst the innocents there. He also shoots Alex in cold blood right before her father's eyes (As you've seen above...it didn't end well for him).

174
175	One of the mercenaries sent by Charles Widmore to the Island aboard the freighter Kahana.
176	----
177	* AllDevouringBlackHoleLoanSharks: In the flash-sideways.
178	* BaldOfEvil: His head is shaved bald.
179	* BeardOfEvil: In the flash-sideways.
180	* CharacterDeath: When a grenade lands near him, Keamy kicks it away. It lands at Omar's feet, blowing him up.
181	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Keamy. Their guy-love transcends death.
182	* OhCrap: When Keamy kicks a grenade over to him, his expression is something to behold.
183	* NumberTwo: To Keamy, who himself is one to Widmore.
184	* PrivateMilitaryContractors: He's a mercenary, like his boss Keamy.
185	* TheQuietOne: He gets a few more lines in Purgatory.
186	* SociopathicSoldier: Like Keamy and the rest of the mercenaries.
187	* UndyingLoyalty: To Keamy. It isn't quite reciprocated.
188	* VillainousFriendship: With Keamy.
