The Man in Black further alleges that Jacob is responsible for bringing the candidates to the Island. Those chosen as candidates appear to enjoy a special protected status among the Others. As of 2007, according to Ilana, there are only six candidates remaining. (6x04) (6x05) (6x07) Two candidates, Sayid and either/both Jin or Sun, were subsequently killed due to a trap set up by the Man in Black. Jacob revealed that the candidates are chosen because they are flawed and the names are crossed out because they fulfill a meaning, e.g. Kate becoming a mother. However, if a candidate wanted the position then the job would be theirs and their name being crossed off is "just a line of chalk". Due to this any one of the Candidates could have become the protector of the island. (6x14) In late 2007, Jack Shephard accepted the job to replace Jacob, becoming the new protector of the Island. (6x16) Shortly after, Jack realized that he was not supposed to protect the Island, but to die while saving it from the Man in Black. Before he died, he named Hurley as his successor. (6x18)
