The story of Ishmael Bakir

Person Type

Cameo Characters

Ishmael Bakir (Arabic:إشماعيل باكر) apparently worked for Charles Widmore, but it is unknown in what capacity. Bakir was first seen as Ben surveyed Nadia's funeral with a camera. Bakir watched the proceedings with seeming disinterest, drinking coffee as the procession walked by. Upon Ben's discovery by Sayid, Ben shows him a picture of Bakir in a car at a streetlight, speeding away from a place nearby where Nadia was killed. Ben convinced Sayid that Bakir worked for Charles Widmore. Ben later spied on Bakir from a cafe, while Bakir was reading a newspaper. Bakir suddenly left, and Ben followed closely behind, eventually losing Bakir to the crowd of people. However, Bakir had doubled back, and held Ben at gunpoint, forcing him into a dark alley, where he began to question Ben. Ben instructed Bakir to give a message to Widmore. Suddenly, Sayid appeared and shot Bakir multiple times until the ammunition ran out of his gun. After Bakir falls to the ground, Sayid then states that he wishes to work for Ben.
