Biography

After the crash

Sayid is initially accused by Sawyer of being a terrorist who crashed the plane. He proves himself useful by repairing the transceiver recovered from the cockpit and receiving the looped distress signal recorded by Rousseau. Sayid comes close to triangulating the signal, but Locke knocks Sayid out before he is successful. Sayid tortures Sawyer for information on Shannon's asthma medicine. During a struggle he stabs Sawyer with a knife. Sayid feels guilty and leaves to explore the island. Shortly afterwards, he is captured by Rousseau.

Sayid grows closer to Shannon when she helps him translate Rousseau's notes. After Boone's death, Shannon asks Sayid to kill Locke. Sayid refuses to do so, and also stops Shannon from using one of Airline Marshal's guns to kill Locke. This leads to a temporary cooling of their relationship. Eventually, Sayid and Shannon reconcile and consummate their relationship. Shortly after, Shannon is accidentally shot and killed by Ana-Lucia, who proceeds to tie him to a tree. She later lets him go after being overcome by her own guilt. Sayid sympathizes with her, and forgives Ana, believing that she did that to protect her own people. Sayid digs Shannon's grave and attends her funeral, which he leaves early. Hurley asks Sayid to fix the tail-sectioners' radio. He does and it picks up the song "Moonlight Serenade" by Glenn Miller.

Rousseau captures a man named Henry Gale and gives him to Sayid, claiming he is an Other. Sayid interrogates him, but Henry constantly denies it. Unconvinced, Sayid begins beating him. Overcome by the grief of Shannon's death, he loses control during the interrogation. Jack subsequently stops the interrogation, but Sayid still believes that Henry is an Other. After reflecting on the torture of Henry Gale, he realises the usefulness of "torture" and begins to accept his skill in getting information when he needs to. This is a change in attitude, as he had sworn during the Gulf War never to torture again.

Along with Charlie, he joins Ana-Lucia in her search for Henry's balloon. He is eager to find out if it even exists, because he blames the Others for Shannon's death and wants to take his vengeance out on Henry. The three discover the balloon, as well as the grave of Henry's wife, but Sayid is still unconvinced. He digs up the grave and discovers a dead man inside. An ID card on the man reveals him to be the true Henry Gale, suggesting that the "Henry Gale" in the hatch is indeed an Other, using the dead man's name as a temporary alias when he was caught by Rousseau. After this revelation, in a heated exchange with "Henry," Sayid almost shoots him, but Ana-Lucia hits his arm so the bullet misses.

When Michael returns in "Three Minutes", Sayid is enlisted by Sawyer to join the attack on the Others' camp. However, Michael adamantly and angrily refuses Sayid's help, and later privately asks Sayid not to intervene. Sayid appears to understand Michael's standpoint and backs out graciously, but has become suspicious as to why Michael does not want a former soldier like Sayid joining the attack. He tells Jack that Michael has been "compromised" and that he is luring them into a trap, possibly as a deal to get Walt back. He keeps this a secret between him and Jack, not wanting Michael to think that anyone suspects him. In "Live Together, Die Alone", Sayid plots with Jack to sail ahead to the Others' camp (along with Jin and Sun) and help fight by using Desmond's sailboat. On the way there, they sail past a giant foot of a destroyed statue, which Sayid notices only has four toes.

Sayid arrives at the Others' camp and no one is there. He discovers what appears to be a hatch, but it is just doors on the side of the rocks; the entire camp is a decoy. He sets off a signal fire for Jack to know his location anyway (as per the plan) but Michael has not led Jack, Kate, Sawyer, and Hurley to the decoy camp. They are quickly taken by the Others and never meet Sayid. Katherine Austen, better known as Kate, is a fictional character on the ABC television series Lost played by Evangeline Lilly. ...

He regroups with Sun and Jin after the white light in "The Glass Ballerina". They discover the Pala Ferry dock, where Sayid makes a plan to light a fire to attract the Others, capture two, and kill the rest. Initially, he lies to Sun and Jin about this. His plan fails, however, when the Others arrive not at the fire but on the sailboat, which they steal. Sayid apologizes to Jin and Sun afterwards for putting their lives in danger. They return to camp in "The Cost of Living," where Sayid joins Locke, Desmond, Nikki, and Paulo on their journey to The Pearl, another hatch, in order to find a way to possibly communicate with the Others. Sayid rewires a monitor, which turns on and reveals the inside of yet another hatch. A man with an eye-patch who is inside spots the camera and turns it off. The "monster" is then heard outside, and when everyone rushes out, they see Eko - who was outside - lying mortally wounded and then die.
