Man in Black's recruits are a mixed group of survivors of the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 (some of whom also survived Ajira Flight 316) and Others, recruited by the Man in Black. It seems that there are about 15 unnamed Others currently following the Man in Black. This group is antagonistic to Jacob's followers and Widmore's team.
