In the storyline, the term "The Others" was coined by Danielle Rousseau and adopted by the survivors of Flight 815 to describe the often antagonistic group of island dwellers seen as "the enemy," who had been already living on the island for many years, long before the existence of the Dharma Initiative on the island in the 1970s and the 2004 crash of Flight 815. Danielle Rousseau is a Fictional character on the ABC Drama Television series Lost, which chronicles the lives of Oceanic Airlines (sometimes called Oceanic Airways) is a Fictional Airline used in several Films and Television programs It is not The Dharma Initiative is a fictional research project featured in the American Television series The Others do not appear to have a name for their group themselves, though the man that they take orders from, Ben Linus, has described them as "the good guys.

In their early dealings with the crash survivors, the Others took on the guise of primitive but savage jungle-dwellers. Since their victory over the DHARMA Initiative, the group became comparatively technologically advanced and for a time acquired means of regular contact with the outside world by submarine and live televisual link.
The Others are difficult to track; they leave hardly any footprints and their trail is almost impossible to be followed. Their appearance is sometimes heralded by strange, barely audible whispering.
The exact motives of the Others remain unclear, though from the point of view of the Flight 815 survivors, their interactions have regularly appeared malevolent and manipulative. They have kidnapped children, including Danielle Rousseau's infant daughter Alex, whom Ben brought up as his own daughter. Danielle Rousseau is a Fictional character on the ABC Drama Television series Lost, which chronicles the lives of Alexandra, commonly known as " Alex," is a recurring Fictional character on the ABC Television series Lost The reasons for this are connected to the fact that the Others have not been able to successfully give birth on the island, as the mother is always killed by her immune system reacting against the baby for an unknown reason. At least some members of the group visit other parts of the world and experienced outside lifestyles, cultures, and belief systems and still choose to remain on the island for a reason that is not yet been explained. At times, some others appear to be quite willing to sacrifice a lot for their cause, such as when Bea Klugh encouraged Mikhail to kill her rather than be held hostage. The group are seen to be interested in those who are regarded as being "special" on the island, for example Walt Lloyd who sometimes appeared places he couldn't have been, and John Locke, who re-gained the use of his legs despite being previously paralyzed from the waist down. Walter Andrew Lloyd, better known as " Walt," is a Fictional character on the ABC television series Lost played by Malcolm John Locke, most often referred to by his surname is a Fictional character on the ABC television series Lost played by Terry O'Quinn
Those who are members of the Others have either been recruited, as in the case of Juliet Burke, or joined the group having been on the island already (by choice or by kidnapping). Dr Juliet Burke (née Carlson) is a Fictional character, one of the main characters on the ABC television series Lost. A number of adult survivors from both the tail section and fuselage were kidnapped. During their encounters with the crash survivors, the Others have killed, or attempted to kill several survivors. There have been frequent references in each group where a person from the other group is referred to as "one of them". The hostility between the two groups has continued, leading to a battle at the survivors' beach camp which saw many Others killed and injured by the survivors, breaking their control over the island. [3]
The end of season 4 saw the return of the Others, led by the ageless Richard Alpert, who took Kate and Sayid hostage in There's No Place Like Home Part 1. In Part 2 & 3, after Ben was forced to leave the island by moving it, Locke became the new leader for the Others.
In the beginning of season 3, the Others were revealed to be living in a rather pleasant suburban-like village of houses, complete with furniture, indoor plumbing and even electricity. South San Jose (cropjpg||thumb|A suburban development in San Jose California. Furniture is the Mass noun for the movable objects which may support the human body (seating furniture and beds, provide storage or hold objects on horizontal Tap water ( running water) is part of indoor Plumbing, which became available in the late 19th century and common in the mid-20th century The Others have many conveniences of modern living, such as ovens, relatively new books, and CD players.

A book discussion club is a group of people who meet to discuss a book or books that they have read and express their opinions likes dislikes etc [4] According to blueprints in DHARMA Initiative operations manuals at The Flame, the name of the village is "The Barracks", and was originally constructed by DHARMA to house its employees. The Others took over the Barracks after the so-called "Purge" resulting in the destruction of DHARMA. [5] The Barracks are surrounded by a sonic defense perimeter capable of generating a sonic pulse directed at any intruder, including the Monster, which cannot penetrate it. The television show Lost includes a number of mysterious elements that have been ascribed
Since the Purge, the Others have occupied or utilized many of the DHARMA Initiative's research stations. Most notable was the Staff, where the operating theatre was used to try to deliver babies of the Others' pregnant women. The Dharma Initiative is a fictional research project featured in the American Television series The Pearl was used to monitor the crash survivors in the Swan station, while the Hydra was used to house the captured Jack, Kate and Sawyer while Ben forced Jack to operate on his tumor.

In addition, the Others had branched all over the world recruiting members; from Kiev where Mikhail was recruited, to Canada where Bonnie and Greta were supposed to have been re-located, and to Miami where Juliet was recruited.
