According to Richard, from this point on, he would "always be one of us". The experience robbed him of his recent memories and changed him forever. The boy was healed in the spring of the Others' Temple. When it became clear that they could not save him, they brought him to Richard. Jin brought him back to the Barracks, Juliet operated on him and Kate donated blood. Other time travelers who had infiltrated DHARMA, worked to rescue the boy. But the prisoner turned out not to be a Hostile at all - he was Sayid, a time traveler from Ben's future, and he shot Ben in the jungle, leaving him for dead. Ben brought the man a book and food (earning Roger's abuse) and later broke him out of his cell, setting fire to a van to distract those watching. Three years later, Ben thought he found his chance when he heard that DHARMA had imprisoned one of the Hostiles. Richard was intrigued to learn Ben had seen someone who'd died off the Island, and he said Ben may be able to join the Hostiles one day if he was patient. He later packed his belongings and went out in search of her, and he came upon Richard Alpert, one of the Hostiles. That same night, he saw his mother's ghost in the jungle. On Ben's ninth birthday, Annie carved two dolls, likenesses of the two children, and Ben kept them for the next 30 years. Ben did make one friend on the Island - a young girl named Annie.

As his acquaintances from the Island moved on, he chose to stay behind to work out his issues.īen Linus was born on December 19, 1964, early in his mother, Emily's, third trimester. Hurley became the new protector, and Ben served for years as his advisor.Īfter death, Ben was a teacher of his previous 'daughter', Alex. Confidence and power lost, Ben became the survivors' apologetic ally. There, the monster judged him for Alex's death and took the form of Locke, convincing Ben to kill Jacob, the Island's protector. He murdered Locke, who'd come to retrieve those who'd left, but he continued Locke's mission and returned the survivors to the Island. He spent the next few years on the mainland, and though he failed to kill Widmore's daughter as promised, he eliminated much of the man's organization using Sayid, a survivor who escaped. To protect the Island, Ben moved it, letting several survivors escape and leaving Locke as his successor. A mercenary from the boat killed Alex thanks to Ben's negligence. He also met John Locke, who threatened his leadership, and Ben's older rival Widmore meanwhile sent a ship to the Island to capture him.
