The idea that all other inhabitants of the island are not indigenous is supported by the following statement by Mother: "They come, they fight, they destroy, they corrupt. It always ends the same. Improve this answer. Given the devices and remains at the Source, I think we are to infer that Mother was not the original - that something similar to what happens in the series happened before, resulting in Mother or a predecessor becoming protector.
Such suspension shall take effect only after having been duly published. An archipelagic State may designate sea lanes and air routes thereabove, suitable for the continuous and expeditious passage of foreign ships and aircraft through or over its archipelagic waters and the adjacent territorial sea. All ships and aircraft enjoy the right of archipelagic sea lanes passage in such sea lanes and air routes. Archipelagic sea lanes passage means the exercise in accordance with this Convention of the rights of navigation and overflight in the normal mode solely for the purpose of continuous, expeditious and unobstructed transit between one part of the high seas or an exclusive economic zone and another part of the high seas or an exclusive economic zone.
Such sea lanes and air routes shall traverse the archipelagic waters and the adjacent territorial sea and shall include all normal passage routes used as routes for international navigation or overflight through or over archipelagic waters and, within such routes, so far as ships are concerned, all normal navigational channels, provided that duplication of routes of similar convenience between the same entry and exit points shall not be necessary.
Such sea lanes and air routes shall be defined by a series of continuous axis lines from the entry points of passage routes to the exit points. Ships and aircraft in archipelagic sea lanes passage shall not deviate more than 25 nautical miles to either side of such axis lines during passage, provided that such ships and aircraft shall not navigate closer to the coasts than 10 per cent of the distance between the nearest points on islands bordering the sea lane.
An archipelagic State which designates sea lanes under this article may also prescribe traffic separation schemes for the safe passage of ships through narrow channels in such sea lanes. An archipelagic State may, when circumstances require, after giving due publicity thereto, substitute other sea lanes or traffic separation schemes for any sea lanes or traffic separation schemes previously designated or prescribed by it.
Widmore ordered Ben to kill the baby, but Ben refused, questioning if Alex's death really was what Jacob wanted and proposing that Widmore kill her instead. Widmore scoffed and walked away, allowing Ben to raise Alex as his child. Richard Alpert waits for the gas to dissipate. Over forty people were killed, and among the notable fatalities was Horace Goodspeed.
Following the Purge , the Others made the Barracks their new home. Under Ben's directives, they established themselves at the Barracks , living in the suburban-like houses previously occupied by the DHARMA employees , with hot water, electricity, and other modern conveniences. The Man in Black would later express doubts as to whether this move was something the Island would want.
It was around this time that Benjamin Linus , a DHARMA Initiative workman who had defected to the Others and supported them in their purge of the Initiative's personnel , emerged as new leaders of the newly formed Others, replacing Charles Widmore by establishing some sort of communion with Jacob.
Ben acknowledged that "no one else [from the Others] has ever seen [Jacob]" and initially claimed that he was "the only one who talks to him", " The Man Behind the Curtain " although he later admitted that he had never seen Jacob, instead receiving his instructions through Richard Alpert. Charles Widmore was exiled by Benjamin Linus , who became the Others' new leader. Ben exiled Charles Widmore from the Island , putting an end to his three-decades rule.
The Others did not form a pure society. Access: Granted Karl and Alex , two young rebel Others and lovers, went against the Others' way of life and teachings.
Other members, such as Bea Klugh and Mikhail Bakunin , were loyalists, willing to do anything to protect the secrets of the Island.
Some prominent Others under Ben were displeased with his leadership. We're [ Juliet arrives on the Island. The Initiative's submarine provided a new means of travel to the mainland, and the Others used it to recruit new members to their community, using their front company Mittelos Bioscience.
Members recruited off-Island included Juliet Burke as part of the research on the Island pregnancy phenomenon. While talking about his community, Ben once told Locke , "Most of these people you see—I brought them here", " The Man Behind the Curtain " indicating that the majority of present-day Others come from off the Island. The Staff was apparently used for the medical treatment and research of their dying pregnant women, while the Flame provided communication systems with the outside world.
The Others also established themselves at the Hydra , although the purpose and subject of their activities at this DHARMA station is a mystery: Karl mentioned the Others working on "projects", " Stranger in a Strange Land " while many members were building a runway , " The Glass Ballerina " an initiative ordered by Jacob. Official Lost Podcast. Inside the Tempest. Meanwhile, research on toxic gas was conducted at the Tempest , but the nature and ultimate aim of those experiments is currently unknown, except the fact that Goodwin Stanhope , while working there, confesses that " [Ben] has [him] working with chemicals that could kill every man, woman and child on this island.
Ethan tells Claire that the Others are "good people". On September 22nd, , Oceanic Flight crashed onto the Island. The Others' response was to send spies to infiltrate the two main groups of survivors. Lists were made of who amongst the survivors were "good people". The mid-section survivors were for the most part unscathed by this plan, with the exception of Claire who was taken quickly after Ethan panicked that his identity was about to be found out with the discovery of the flight manifest.
Some of those taken would later be seen at the Hydra station, including Cindy , Zack and Emma , suggesting that those kidnapped may have joined the Others. This led to immediate conflict between the Others and the remaining survivors, and when a group of mid-section survivors set sail on a raft in order to escape the Island, the Others destroyed it and kidnapped Walt , whom they believed was "special.
The Others' decoy village. With Walt's kidnapping and the merging of the mid-section and tail-section camps, the survivors were now united against the threat posed by the Others. In response, the Others met with the survivors in the jungle, and agreed upon a line separating the groups which neither side should cross. At this point, the Others maintained a ruse that they were in fact very primitive, using huts and ragged clothing to augment this.
Juliet , Ben and the rest of the Others watch the crash at the Barracks. The survivors finally learned more about the Others, and about Ben's role as leader. With their home at the Barracks compromised, the Others moved out and were forced to camp out in the Island plains and then The Temple. In addition, the survivors discovered how the Others had obtained information on them through the use of the Flame station, and slowly the omnipotence surrounding the Others and Ben was shattered, particularly with the deaths of a number of Others at the survivors' hands, casting doubt on Ben's ability to lead in light of John Locke 's ability to also communicate with Jacob.
The issue of Island pregnancy was also pushed forward by Ben, who used Juliet to infiltrate the beach camp to report back if any of the women besides Sun were also expecting. Ben's plan was to kidnap these women, but as the survivors faced possible rescue, he accelerated these plans. Juliet's betrayal, however, saved the women, leading to a culmination in the conflict that had been boiling for approximately three months.
During the Beach camp battle , a large number of the Others were killed, and around the same time, the survivors were able to contact a freighter which was anchored near the Island, much to Ben's horror.
Alpert and the Others after killing the Freighter mercenaries. The arrival of the freighter spelled disaster for both the survivors and the Others. Unbeknownst to Jack and those who had sought to contact the boat, the people on board worked for Charles Widmore , who was said by Ben to be a "bad man" who would destroy the Island and everyone on it.
It emerged that the people on the freighter planned to kill everyone on the Island after extracting Ben, and the result was the death of all the freighter's soldiers at the hands of Richard Alpert and the Others. Ben was shown to also have some degree of control over the Monster , summoning it after Alex was murdered. Much of Ben's actions were done in the name of the Island, and indeed he and Locke followed orders by Jacob , who seems connected to the Island itself.
In doing this, Ben went to the Orchid station and turned a frozen wheel , which resulted in the Island physically disappearing. This event also ended Ben's leadership, as he stated whoever moved the Island could not return to it.
As a consequence, John Locke appeared to have emerged as the new leader of the Others. Interestingly enough, when the Others returned from the Temple to eliminate the mercenaries and greet their new leader, they were once again wearing shabby clothes and camping in crude tents, suggesting that there is more to this way of life than a mere deception. Following the turning of the frozen wheel by Ben, all of the Island's inhabitants except for Claire and the Others began skipping in time.
Why the Others alone stayed with the Island in the present is unknown; possibly they have some sort of deeper connection to it. For three years, the Others lived on the Island alone. They were living in a camp made up of yurts on the beach when Benjamin Linus and the form of John Locke suddenly returned, the latter reassuming his leadership after a long absence.
Richard readily yielded authority to John, and, while he expressed reservations with the newly returned leader's new motivations and goals, he accepted his commands. The Others also seemed to tolerate the presence of Sun , who had returned to the Island with Ben and Locke, and was in their company when the two arrived at the camp.
The Others, along with Ben and Sun , led by " John ", journey to see their leader. The next day Locke, with the help of Richard, led the Others to the four-toed statue , where he had promised them that they could finally meet their mysterious leader, Jacob.
The Others responded enthusiastically to this new approach. While en route, Locke quietly convinced Ben to kill Jacob, a deed Ben had not actually decided to go through with until he arrived. The Others waited as the two men entered the statue.
While they were waiting, Ilana and her group arrived bearing a heavy crate, asking for "Richardus", and presenting the question, "What lies in the shadow of the statue? When Richard answered correctly, they emptied the crate, revealing the corpse of the real John Locke. The man whom the Others had been following appears to have been the Man in Black , for when he entered the statue, after exchanging pleasantries with the mysterious Jacob himself, killed the Others' leader through the manipulation of Benjamin's resentment and bitterness.
After being stabbed by Ben, Jacob whispered, "they're coming," to which the Man in Black responded by kicking him into the fire. The riddle's existence also implies that the Others may not be the only group with knowledge of and allegiance to Jacob.
Based on Richard's reaction and those of the Temple Dwellers, it seems the Others or at least their leaders are familiar with The Man in Black. It's not certain whether they reached it before Man in Black's arrival, but it's assumed they actually did. The Man in Black's massacre. Later, using Sayid as his messenger, the Man in Black was able to convince some of the Others to leave the Temple upon by telling them all that Jacob was dead and that there was no reason for any of them to stay, and that death would await them should they choose to do so.
After Sayid killed Dogen , thus allowing the Man in Black to enter the Temple in his monster form, and then Lennon , while the remaining Others were killed by the MiB in his smoke form. The ones who chose to leave the Temple, including Cindy , defected to the Man in Black's side. According to the Man in Black, those who were not killed in the attack scattered into the jungle.
While some could be described as original Hostiles, such as Richard Alpert , other members of what is now called "the Others" are people recruited from other sources. Furthermore, former members such as Juliet were recruited from the outside world to live on the Island and aid the Others in their research.
Locke joins the Others as their leader. When Locke attempted to join the Others, Ben told him that people who wanted to be part of them needed to show their commitment--in Locke's case, by killing his father, Anthony Cooper. Ben handed Locke a knife while the rest of the Others gathered to watch, but Locke could not bring himself to kill Cooper. Ben gave Locke an ultimatum that he would only be able to continue following the Others if he presented them with his father's dead body.
Predictably they soon fell ill and the adults died. The children were taken back to their island with a number of gifts. During the s the Indian authorities made occasional trips to North Sentinel in an attempt to befriend the tribe. These were often at the behest of dignitaries who wanted an adventure. On one of these trips two pigs and a doll were left on the beach. The Sentinelese speared the pigs and buried them, along with the doll.
Such visits became more regular in the s; the teams would try to land, at a place out of the reach of arrows, and leave gifts such as coconuts, bananas and bits of iron. Sometimes the Sentinelese appeared to make friendly gestures; at others they would take the gifts into the forest and then fire arrows at the contact party. The Sentinelese have lived on their island for up to 55, years and have no contact with the outside world.
In there appeared to be a breakthrough. When the officials arrived in North Sentinel the tribe gestured for them to bring gifts and then, for the first time, approached without their weapons. They even waded into the sea towards the boat to collect more coconuts. However, this friendly contact was not to last, although gift dropping trips continued for some years, encounters were not always friendly.
At times the Sentinelese aimed their arrows at the contact team, and once they attacked a wooden boat with their adzes a stone axe for cutting wood. No one knows why the Sentinelese first dropped, and then resumed their hostility to the contact missions, nor if any died as a result of diseases caught during these visits.
In the regular gift dropping missions stopped. Many officials were beginning to question the wisdom of attempting to contact a people who were healthy and content and who had thrived on their own for up to 55, years. Friendly contact had had only a devastating impact on the Great Andamanese tribes. Sustained contact with the Sentinelese would almost certainly have tragic consequences.
In the following years only occasional visits were made, again with a mixed response. After the Tsunami in , officials made two visits to check, from a distance, that the tribe seemed healthy and were not suffering in any way.
