Richard Alpert Played by:Nestor Carbonell
Reason for the Flight: Richard was not on the plane, but was already on the island as part of the Others when the plane crashed
Richard Alpert Facts:
Pre-Crash: Richard has lived on the island for many years. He was brought to the island as a slave on the Black Rock in 1867 and has worked as an intermediary for Jacob, who in exchange, has made him ageless.
Island: Richard seems to follow Ben's orders to a certain point.
When Locke becomes the leader, Richard listens to him and takes him to the statue, though he obviously doesn't want to. After Jacob dies, Richard loses his faith in Jacob and all that they have been doing, and tries to get Jack to kill him, but it doesn't work.
Richard leaves the island on the Ajira plane with Frank, Miles, Claire, Sawyer, and Kate.
