Ben Linus

Benjamin "Ben" Linus is a fictional character portrayed by Michael Emerson on the ABC television series Lost. Ben was the leader of a group of island natives called the Others. He began as the main villain during seasons 2 and 3, but in subsequent seasons, becomes something of an uneasy ally to the protagonists; even so, however, throughout the series, he is persistently characterized by spontaneous coldblooded actions and the shroud of moral ambiguity. Other characters frequently describe him as loyal only to himself, though it is also often hinted that he may be driven by some higher purpose. From the start of the plot, he organizes the capture of some of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815, which crashes on the Island on September 22, 2004 as hostages so that he can convince Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox), a doctor from the plane crash, to operate on him.
