Widmore's team is a group of soldiers and scientists assembled under the command of Charles Widmore. They arrived on the Island in a submarine, possibly with the intention of killing the Man in Black after Jacob (allegedly) visited Widmore back in 2005.

Mission

According to Charles Widmore, the team arrived on the Island following Jacob's request that Widmore return to the Island to kill the Man in Black. Widmore explained that he made a mistake leaving and needed to come back to prevent the Man in Black from escaping.

Activities on the Island

Locating the Island

It is unknown how they located the Island; however, according to Charles Widmore, they were sent there by Jacob before his death.

Capturing Sawyer

The Man in Black and Widmore confront each other, with the sonar fence separating them in ("The Package")].

When Sawyer arrived at the island to do some recon he found no survivors on the beach. He noticed drag marks on the beach. He followed them into the jungle to discover the 316 survivors had been killed and their bodies piled up. He saw someone and ran after them. He tackled them to discover it was a woman who identified herself as Zoe. While getting ready to bring her back to the main island he got suspicious because of the questions she was asking. He aimed his gun at her to tell her he didn't believe her. She whistled and armed men stepped out of the jungle and captured him. ("Recon")

Erecting sonar fence

As Sawyer was captured, he noticed Widmore's team erecting pylons around the dock, similar to the sonar fence on the main Island. ("Recon") Later, the Man in Black arrived and spoke to Widmore through the fence. He declared war on Widmore and left. ("The Package")

"The Package"

Onboard Widmore's sub was a locked room that drew Sawyer's interest. ("Recon") The Man in Black sent Sayid to investigate the room, whose contents Widmore called "the package." Sayid spied Zoe and Seamus taking a man from the sub and throwing him onto the pier, at which point Sayid recognized the man as Desmond. ("The Package")

Conducting the test

They brought a research rabbit named Angstrom to conduct a test using Hydra Island's generator. Once the generator was ready, they locked Desmond inside and blasted him with electromagnetism. After Desmond came out of his trance, Zoe escorted him away, only to be ambushed by Sayid. Sayid took Desmond away after killing two men and holding Zoe up. ("Happily Ever After")

Ultimatum

After losing Desmond, Zoe walked into the Man in Black's camp. She told him that they want Desmond back. She demonstrated their seriousness by ordering a mortar to be launched at near the camp.

Later when Sawyers group got to the Hydra Island, a mortar was launched at the Man In Black's people. ("The Last Recruit")

Attack by the Man in Black

After locking the Candidates away in a cage, the team was attacked by the Man in Black. Their generator was cut off and the Candidates got away. Two were killed by the Man in Black at the Ajira plane. ("The Candidate")

Counter-attack

When the Candidates attempted to board the submarine, Widmore's team assaulted them. An unknown number were killed by Claire and The Man In Black.

It is presumed they were all killed in this massacre, as none were seen again and Claire remained on Hydra Island unharmed until Richard, Miles, and Frank returned.
