The Lost Profiles- Jack

Since Lost is done for the season (I know, I'm sad about it too!) I needed to figure out something else to write about on Wednesdays instead of a recap/review of the episode. And since the next season will be the last I figured there was no better time than now to do this. I'm going to do something I call "The Lost Profiles," where I will do a profile on the characters.

This week: Jack
















Name: Jackson Shephard

Played By: Matthew Fox

Age: 41

From: Los Angeles, California

Profession: Neurosurgeon

Relationship Status: Divorced

Children: He cares for Claire's son, Aaron as if he were his own, but really, he is his nephew

Why he was in Australia: To talk his father into returning home, only to have discovered he had died

People he came into contact with before the crash:

• Desmond- They first meet when the both of them are running the stairs at the local stadium
• Ana Lucia- He meets her in the airport bar before the flight
• Rose- He keeps her company on the flight while Bernard is in the bathroom

Other people he is connected to from Flight 815:

• Shannon- Her father was involved in the same accident as his ex-wife, Sarah
• Claire- It turns out that they share the same father

Life after the island: He goes back to being a surgeon but soon becomes an alcoholic who abuses the prescription meds that he prescribes himself when he starts seeing his dead father. After getting over the hesitation he has about Aaron being his nephew, he starts a relationship with Kate and they soon get engaged but it doesn't last very long and they separate. Even though he continues to say they are not going back to the island he secretly takes flights hoping he will crash on the island.
