Another fallen..but never forgotten.

OH CHARLIE!! I really couldn't believe it when Charlie died. Although I understood that he had to die so Claire and Aaron (Turnip Head) can get off the island. RIP Charlie. I will miss you and your cute button nose oh so much.

Played by: Dominic Monaghan

Reason for the Flight: Charlie was in Australia to beg his brother, Liam, to rejoin their band, DriveShaft.

Profession: Bloody Rock God! Charlie was a bassist for the band DriveShaft and believes himself a "bloody rock God", despite the fact that the band only had one hit, "You All Everybody".

Charlie Facts:

Pre-Crash: Charlie's brother, Liam, talked Charlie into getting into a band with him. Liam was the lead singer and Charlie wrote a lot of the songs. They had one hit, but when Liam got into drugs, Charlie was soon to follow.

When the band broke up, Charlie wanted to get them back together, but Liam got clean and didn't want anything to do with the band.

Charlie met a woman and tried to get clean for her, but desperate for drugs, he stole from her and then she wouldn't have anything to do with him.

Island: At first Charlie thought everyone would know him because he thought of himself as a famous rock star. Locke helped Charlie get through heroin withdrawal, but later believed Charlie was back on the drugs.

Charlie got very close to Claire, and one day while walking through the jungle after Claire had some false labor, they were captured by Ethan Rom. As a warning for Jack to stop following, Ethan hanged Charlie, but Jack was able to save him.

Charlie stayed with Claire after she came back from the Others (after being kidnapped) and was there when her baby was born. When Danielle Rousseau kidnapped Aaron, Charlie and Sayid went and got him back.

After Claire found out about the heroin hidden in the statue of the Virgin Mary that Charlie had found, she didn't want him to come near her or her baby.

Claire began getting close to Locke, and out of jealousy Charlie wanted to make Locke look like a fool, so he helped Sawyer con Locke and Jack so that Sawyer could get control of the guns.

Charlie was with Eko when the hatch imploded, but didn't seem to be affected, other than losing his hearing for a little while. He and Claire reconciled.

Desmond began to see flashes and in many of these flashes he saw Charlie die. Desmond saved Charlie from death many times, but after 93 days on the island, Charlie sacrificed himself in The Looking Glass.

Strong Relationships: Hurley, though they had a rough patch when Hurley told Charlie he was a millionaire and then later wouldn't give him peanut butter from the hatch.

Rocky Relationships: He and Claire kissed, but Claire didn't want Charlie around after she found out about the drugs in the Virgin Mary statue. Eko and Charlie were very close until Eko stopped building a church with Charlie in order to push the button in the hatch. For a while, Charlie felt that Jack didn't respect him. At one point, Charlie looked up to Locke as a mentor, but then Locke started getting too close to Claire.

Character Connections:
  • Hurley:
    • Charlie was in the crowded elevator at the Australian hotel when Hurley was late to catch his flight. Michael and Walt also stayed at the same hotel. (Ep: 1x24, Exodus Part 2)
    • The priest who took Charlie's confession (Ep: 1x7, The Moth), later sold his scooter to Hurley in the airport just before Flight 815 departed. (Ep: 1x24, Exodus Part 2)
    • Hurley and his friend found a DriveShaft CD in the sale bin at a record store and tried to sing the lyrics to "You All Everybody", but couldn't remember the words. (Ep: 2x4, Everybody Hates Hugo)
  • Michael: In the background of one of Charlie's flashbacks (Ep: 2x12, Fire + Water) is a sign that says "Widmore Construction". We don't know who Michael worked for, but we do know he was in construction.
  • Desmond: Before he was famous, Charlie played the guitar on the street for donations and Desmond saw him.
  • Sayid: Charlie saved Sayid's childhood friend, Nadia, from a mugger. (Ep: 3x21, Greatest Hits)
