Nope. That guy stood guard over Karl (Alex' boyfriend) on the hydra island in 2004, and Alex, Kate and Sawyer tricked him and rescued Karl. Surely that guy later had some punishment for failing his duty, that's why he is kinda angry on losties.

Great job, but is it normal to ship internals along with program? When one pays for elma, he, in fact, pays for two things: for registered elma.exe and for registered elma.res (which differs from shareware elma.res mainly in levels). As you can legally receive registered elma.exe from official site,...
