Theories about Nathan

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.

On The Island

• Had another agenda on the Island.
  • Became a sort of vigilante after the first night, went looking for the Others.
• He is actually working for Widmore and was put on the plane to serve as a scout in preparation for the freighter team. This would explain his secretive nature and why Goodwin called him a "bad person".
  • This theory is supported by Ben's statement that the people on the freighter (who worked for Widmore) were "the bad guys" and Goodwin said that Nathan was "not a good person". Not a good person=bad guy
• He is Widmore's victim
• He has Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis or another digestive disorder.
  • This would explain why he would have spent the entire flight in the bathroom and why his bathroom trips in the jungle were so lengthy.
• He was doing something inappropriate in the jungle that they wouldn't want the show's child audience to hear for two hours ...
• He was part of a different faction, not an Other and not a follower of Jacob but perhaps a follower of the Man in Black?
• During his "trips" he was following a vision of some kind.
