Desmond Hume
Hatch Occupant — Played by Henry Ian Cusick
Desmond Hume

Desmond spent three years in the hatch. Alone. Pushing a button every 108 minutes. Never knowing if it mattered. He almost went insane.
Before the island, Desmond loved Penny Widmore. Her father, Charles, deemed him unworthy. Desmond left to sail around the world to prove his worth. He crashed on the island. The race, the shipwreck, the hatch. Three years of solitude.
Don’t forget — the world needs saving

Desmond is unique. His consciousness travels through time. He sees the future. He is the "constant" between realities. His quest: find Penny again. His phone call from the freighter is the most emotional moment in the series. "I love you, Penny. I've always loved you."
