- A spinal surgeon at the same hospital with his father, Christian, also a doctor
- Successfully operated on a woman, Sarah, whose broken back was supposedly irreparable
- Married Sarah, who later left him because he worked too much
- Reported his alcoholic father to the hospital board after a patient died under his knife
- Went to Australia to find his missing father only to discover he'd drank himself to death

He was a spinal surgeon, just like his father and is driven by his need to help others. He became the reluctant leader who solves disputes with reason but not afraid to use guns or torture if necessary.

: Rescued as part of the Oceanic 6 and began living with Kate and young Aaron. He eventually proposed to her, but things soon fell apart. Working with Ben, he then became obsessed with reuniting the Oceanic 6 to return to the island.
