Ethan Rom says he is from Ontario. He initially
appears to be a survivor of the crash, helping Locke with
boar hunting. However, while conducting a census Hurley
discovers that Ethan is not on the flight manifest. Ethan
kidnaps Claire and Charlie, setting off a frantic manhunt.
Jack and Kate catch up to him and he threatens to kill Charlie
or Claire if the pursuit continues. Making good on his promise,
Ethan hangs Charlie from a tree, but Jack and Kate rescue
him.
He takes Claire to a Dharma Initiative station where she
is given medical attention and a nursery for Aaron. However,
before she gives birth, a teenage girl helps Claire escape
from The Others, who plan on removing the baby from Claire's
womb. Danielle then carries an unconscious Claire back to
the camp. Ethan returns and demands that Charlie bring Claire
to him or he will kill the survivors one by one. When the
group fails to do so, Ethan kills Scott. The next day Ethan
is ambushed by Jack, Sayid, Locke, Sawyer, and Kate, all
of whom have guns. They hope to take him prisoner, but Charlie
shoots and kills him using a gun that Jack dropped. Charlie's
rationale for killing Ethan is, "he deserved to die". |
