The ODI

Ben Linus, Lost
Portrayed By: Michael Emerson
Profile: Though he originally claimed to be a meek balloonist named Henry Gale when our heroes came upon him, Ben eventually revealed himself to be the mastermind behind the mysterious Others. There’s no one Ben won’t betray to come out ahead, even if it means sacrificing the very few people he actually cares about, like his daughter Alex.
Powers: A rather unexpected ability to continually fool his enemies into trusting him, mastery of several languages, a creepy stare
Weakness: Dinner dates with his crush, Juliet.
Leadership Experience: Gassed the entire Dharma Initiative so that he could move the Others in and become their leader.
Claim to Fame: Was the biggest cheese on Lost Island until Locke pulled that unfair trick and came back to life.
Teen Choice Award Nominations: 1 (“Choice TV Villain,” 2007)
Quote: “How many times do I have to tell you, John? I always have a plan.”
