[[:Category:{{{Images}}}|Images]]

Mr. Avellino was a wealthy Italian man. He was shot and killed by Sayid on a golf course located somewhere in the Seychelles.

Mr. Avellino was a golfer who drove up in a golf cart next to Sayid while Sayid was taking a shot. Sayid seemed reluctant to converse with him, saying that they paid a premium for privacy. The man recommended that Sayid use a five iron to make the next swing, but Sayid insisted that his seven iron would be better. Avellino suggested a bet of fifty euros, to which Sayid replied "Let's make it a hundred."

Sayid strides away from Avellino's corpse.

The man asked Sayid what he did for a living. Sayid replied that he did nothing and lived off of a substantial settlement he received from Oceanic Airlines, because he was one of the Oceanic 6. Upon hearing this, Avellino became visibly nervous. Despite having won the wager he declared that Sayid didn't need to pay him, and attempted to leave. Sayid reached into his bag, calling Mr Avellino by his real name despite not being told it - "I insist, Mr Avellino". This caused him to turn around, and as he did so Sayid pulled a gun out and shot him dead.

Mr. Avellino appears to have some link to the economist, inasmuch as they were both targets of Sayid.
