The mercenary team came to the Island aboard the freighter Kahana to apprehend Benjamin Linus and kill the rest of the Island's inhabitants. They were responsible for the deaths of at least six people on the Island, including Ben's daughter Alex. They were led by Martin Keamy, who was hired by Charles Widmore. All of the members of the mercenary team were killed while trying to bring Ben back to the freighter. This group is antagonistic to Oceanic Flight 815 survivors and the Others.
