Sayid's father

Sayid's father was a soldier in the Iraqi Republican Guard.

Sayid's father ordered a young Omer to kill a chicken in order to prove his maturity. When Sayid killed the chicken in Omer's place, the father scorned Omer and commended Sayid. ("He's Our You")

Tariq told Sayid that his father would be ashamed if he knew that Sayid was helping the Americans, describing him as a "great hero". ("One of Them")

Trivia

The site oceanic-air.com lists his name as Hassan. Due to the source of this name, this is considered deuterocanon.
Hassan is of Arabic origin, and its meaning is "good-looking, handsome"; it is a popular name in the Arabic world.
In the casting call he was described as "Father, 40s, must speak Arabic. A domineering and quick-tempered father who's trying to bring his boys up properly. Feels he has to teach his son a lesson about how to be a real man." [1]
