'''The Others''' are a group of people who lived on [[the Island]] before the [[crash]] of [[Oceanic Flight 815]]. Their origins and motives are currently unknown. Their relationship with the [[survivors]] has been antagonistic, kidnapping or "experimenting" on them, but only two killings have actually been committed by the Others against the [[survivors]] ([[Goodwin]] killing [[Nathan]], [[Ethan Rom|Ethan]] killing [[Scott Jackson|Scott]]). They reside in a [[The Barracks|community]] on [[the island]] and work on a small [[Hydra Island|second island]] nearby, in [[the Hydra]] station, where [[Jack]], [[Kate]], and [[Sawyer]] were taken captive. It appeared that Jack was taken to operate on [[Ben]]'s spine, while Kate and Sawyer were brought to convince Jack to do the operation, should he choose not to. The two survivors were kept in outside [[cage|cages]] and forced to [[Quarry|haul rocks]] during the day.
 
   
==About the Others ==
 
===Names===
 
[[Image:1x07 locke.JPG|right|thumb|[[Locke]], pointing to where the other people on the Island came from.]]
 
Although they're known under various names ("Them", "[[Hostiles]]"), their current nickname - the Others - was coined by [[Danielle Rousseau]] when she claimed to [[Sayid]] that they had taken her daughter [[Alexandra]] [[16]] years prior. Rousseau, at the time she met [[Sayid]], claimed she had never seen the people now known as the others. She described the [[whispers]] as being the only contact she had with the others. The term has since been claimed by both fans and writers as the unofficial name for the group. It is however worth noting that the term 'others' is entirely contextual; for example, it's been pointed out in the show that everyone is an 'other' to Rousseau in essence, as well as the [[Losties]], who of course could be correctly referred to as 'others' by the Others. Further examples include:<br>
 
*[[Jin]] says to Sun, "Don't worry about the Others", referring to the other castaways. {{crossref|1x01}}<br>
 
*On occasion, Jack also refers to other castaways as "the Others".<br>
 
*When Jin encounters the "[[Tailies]]," he calls them "Others." (This example may be a bit complicated, since Jin probably mistook them for the "real" Others.) {{crossref|2x02}}<br>
 
*[[Ana-Lucia]] refers to those who have been kidnapping her group not as "Others", but as "Them". (Since she had not met with any of the main group of survivors, she had not adopted Rousseau's name) <br>
 
*After [[Colleen]]'s [[Life and Death|death]], [[Danny Pickett|Danny]] believes the [[Losties]] are responsible, saying that "they did this". {{crossref|3x04}} <br>
 
*[[Desmond]] refers to a group as "the hostiles," which [[Kelvin]] mentioned in the Hatch {{crossref|2x23}}. <br>
 
*When Ben goes into surgery, Pickett says that Ben has just put his life in the hands of "one of them" {{crossref|3x06}}.
 
*[[Mikhail Bakunin]], while still pretending to be the last [[DHARMA initiative]] [[survivors|survivor]], refers to a group as Hostiles. Later, [[Marvin Candle]]/[[Mark Wickmund]], in the [[video]] recording at the [[Flame Station]], also refers to a group of people whom the initiative were at war with as Hostiles. {{crossref|3x11}}
 
   
It is assumed that this group is the same as the Others. It has been confirmed by [[Damon Lindelof]] that there is more than one faction within the Others.
 
   
===Kidnappings===
 
:{{main|Lists}}
 
   
[[Image:MichaelsPaper.jpg|thumb|150px|right|The list given to Michael]]
 
The kidnapping of Alex was not the last abduction made by the Others. [[Claire]] was abducted by [[Ethan]] for the purpose of obtaining [[Aaron]]. [[Charlie]] was also taken with [[Claire]], but he was hanged and later revived by [[Jack]] and [[Kate]]. [[Walt]] was taken seemingly because he had talents in which the Others were very interested. {{crossref|2x23}}
 
   
In a matter of two weeks, 12 of the [[Tailies]] were missing from their camp thanks to [[Goodwin]]. [[Cindy]], another Tailie, disappeared later. {{crossref|2x07}}
 
   
[[Michael]] was captured when attempting to rescue [[Walt]], but was then set free with his son and told to follow a compass bearing of [[325]]. The Others kept [[Jack]], [[Kate]], and [[Sawyer]] as hostages in [[the Hydra]], but allowed [[Hurley]] to return as a messenger when they were at the [[Pala Ferry]]. {{crossref|2x22|2x23}}
 
   
===Ways of Living===
 
:{{main|the Barracks}}
 
   
[[Image:3X01 TheOthersOtherville.jpg|left|thumb|180px|[[Juliet]], [[Ben]] and the other Others watch [[the crash]] at the ''Barracks''.]]
 
It was first presumed that the Others are "savages" and "hillbillies". However, in [[Season 2]], this proved to be part of an elaborate illusion; [[Kate]] discovered a locker containing a [[fake beard]] and theatrical glue. {{crossref|2x15}} Later, Tom appeared a couple times without his beard, <small>({{ep|2x15}} and {{ep|2x23}})</small>. <br />
 
Upon his return, [[Michael]] claimed that there are only about 22 Others, most of them old and/or women, who lived on [[Decoy Village|huts]] in miserable conditions like the crash survivors, and fed on dried fish; this is part of the facade. {{crossref|2x20}} Walt said that the Others are "pretending," and that "they're not who they say they are." {{crossref|2x22}}
 
   
[[Image:Minor_Others.jpg‎|right|thumb|Some Others, looking like "savages"]]
 
The fact that the Others are more civilized than they appear was hinted at in [[Season 2]], but was revealed explicitly in the [[Season 3]] premiere; the Others live in a small idyllic town inside of a crater.{{crossref|3x01}} They have access to [[guns]], tasers, crude explosives, a bolas, U.S. army knives, a [[submarine]], a [[The Others' yacht|yacht]], a motor [[The Others' boat|boat]] which they gave to Michael, and [[Sailboat ("Elizabeth")|Desmond's sailboat]].

HA HA HA
===Leadership===
 
:{{main|Leadership}}
 
   
[[Image:3X05 BenJuliet.jpg|right|thumb|A struggle for power between [[Ben]] and [[Juliet]].]]
 
It seems that prior to [[The crash|the plane crash]], there had occurred some shift in power and governing strategy in the Others' society. [[Juliet]] makes multiple references to democracy and equality as important values that she and the other Others live by, both in the opening scenes of [[season three]] ([[The Book Club|the book club]]) as well as in her many talks with Jack.<br />
 
[[Ben]] has been confirmed as the community's leader, and has the charisma and power to make people follow him, but that there also is an ongoing struggle of ideals between him and Juliet (as a symbol for a clean, uncorrupted - utopian - form of democracy). In her [[Juliet's tape|video]], Juliet revealed to [[Jack]] that "some of us want change", because Ben "is a liar" and "very dangerous". It seems as though there are two "political" groups within the Others - Juliet’s and Ben's. However, the details of Juliet's past seem to indicate that her role in the community and motivations are very different from Ben's, who claims he was born there.
 
   
===Good People===
 
:{{main|Good and bad people}}
 
   
[[Image:Normal maternity-promo18.jpg|thumb|left|[[Ethan]] tells [[Claire]] that the Others are good people.]]
 
The concept of Goodness seems to be very important to the Others as they themselves claim to be good people even after kidnapping and killing various [[castaways]]. This sets up an odd paradox, as [[Benjamin]] told [[Locke]] he was one of the "good ones", and implied that other Losties (i.e. [[Jack]], [[Kate]], [[Sawyer]]) were not "good" and they are the ones who were taken. The Others seem to only abduct those they believe to be "''good people''".
 
   
The Others claim to be better at [[Cons|conning]] than Sawyer. While deception is their main trick, they have a mixed record when it comes to deceiving the castaways. [[Hurley]] figured out [[Ethan]] was an Other, [[Ana-Lucia]] figured out [[Goodwin]] was an Other, [[Sayid]] figured out [[Ben]] and [[Mikhail]] were Others, [[Kate]] figured out [[Tom]] had a [[false beard]], and [[Jack]] shocked the Others by making Ben a medical hostage.
 
{{Brclear}}
 
   
===Connection with DHARMA===
 
[[Mikhail Bakunin]], an Other, was running "''the [[Flame]]''" communications station for the Others. In performing that task, he wore the clothing of the [[DHARMA Initiative]], and pretended to be the last member of the DHARMA team on the island.
 
When Sayid and his expedition discovered the Flame, and Mikhail as well, he told them that all personnel of the Initiative died in a war with the "[[Hostiles]]", known as "[[the purge]]". He claimed he arrived on [[the Island]] around 1993 by [[submarine]]. He also mentioned that the Hostiles have been on the island for a very long time.
 
   
All of this information was given before he revealed himself as an Other, so it is unknown if he was telling the truth or not. In the station's basement, [[Bea Klugh]] was found, after she reached the station with a [[Others' horse|horse]], possibly to warn Mikhail about the survivors.
