Theories about Martin Keamy

Main Discussion

Theories may be removed if ...

Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc). More appropriate for another article. Illogical or previously disproven. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead). This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory. Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response. See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

• The tattoo on Keamy's right arm, similar to the tattoo on Jack's left arm. They knew each other in Asia, or maybe Keamy was "defined" by Achara.
  • Keamy wasn't a native of that Island, and Jack getting the crap beaten out of him is evidence enough that they don't allow outsiders to be tattooed.
• Keamy appeared visibly upset as he was holding Alex hostage. He appeared to be fighting back tears. Was this just a quirk in directing, or is there more backstory here?
  • Upset and frightened because Ben seemed to know all about him, evidenced by his anger toward Capatin Gault, whom he thought "gave him up."
• Why did Keamy kill Alex? A genuinely experienced mercenary would not have killed her so quickly, because that way he lost his leverage. Better (though definitely more gruesome) would have been to shoot her someplace non-lethal, which would have increased pressure on Ben to save her while she was bleeding.
  • He killed Alex to show that he was not playing games. Ben said "she's just a pawn that means nothing to me, so you're just going to have to kill her..." so Keamy did.
  • Is crazy due to cabin fever?
  • Emotions got the better of him due to fear of Linus knowing forbidden information about him?
• His name is a deliberate anagram for "KARMA ENMITY"
