Before the freighter

He claims to be from Las Vegas, Nevada. ("The Constant")

According to Ben, Keamy served as a first sergeant in the United States Marine Corps from 1996 to 2001. He later worked for several mercenary companies, doing significant work in Uganda. ("The Shape of Things to Come")

On the freighter

Keamy, Omar, and other members of the crew were skeet-shooting with automatic weapons. When Kevin Johnson (Michael) questioned the "rescue" mission's possession of the weapons, Keamy snidely asked if Kevin didn't have something to clean up. This seemed to be the final straw in Michael deciding to set off the bomb. ("Meet Kevin Johnson")

Season 4 (Days 94-99)

Upon Frank, Sayid, and Desmond's arrival on the freighter, Desmond began screaming and acting erratically. Keamy questioned Frank on why he brought the two with him. He and Omar then escorted Desmond down to the sickbay, summoning the ship's doctor and locking Desmond in with Minkowski. Later, Keamy and Omar returned to sickbay having been called by the doctor's emergency alarm. The pair quickly subdued Frank, Sayid, and Desmond, taking the satellite phone from Desmond and once again locking Sayid and Desmond in the sickbay. They then took Frank to speak with the captain. ("The Constant")

As Keamy leaves the freighter's interior, he encounters Frank bringing something into the ship. He reminds Frank not to be late. ("Ji Yeon")

He and the other mercenaries are responsible for shooting Karl and Danielle. ("Meet Kevin Johnson") He then takes Alex as bait for Ben, in order to extract Ben from his house. However, Ben remains steadfast, denouncing his daughter. Keamy then shoots Alex in the head, killing her. This prompted a shocked Ben to unleash the Monster, which attacked the Freighter's mercenaries. Keamy could be heard repeatedly calling for his squad to fall-back. ("The Shape of Things to Come")

Keamy then appeared unharmed, with the rest of the mercenaries behind him, searching for any survivors. He then encountered Frank, who insisted that they return to the helicopter before night. Keamy reluctantly agreed, almost discovering Miles, Sawyer, and Claire in the bushes nearby due to a cry from Aaron. ("Something Nice Back Home")

Frank flies Keamy and the rest of the mercenaries back to the Kahana in the helicopter. There, Keamy threatens Captain Gault with a gun, believing that Gault told Ben about Keamy's history; Gault tells Keamy that it was actually Michael who gave him up to Ben. Keamy confronts Michael and attempts to shoot him twice, but his gun fails to fire both times. Keamy lets Michael live after he learns that Michael is the only one able to repair the ship's engines.

Some time later, Keamy confronts Gault and forcibly takes his key. Keamy uses the key to unlock a safe, from which he takes out a folder that contains, in his own words, "secondary protocol." Keamy claims that this folder will allow him to find Ben, insinuating that Charles Widmore knew where Ben would go. Keamy asks Gault to fix his gun, and leaves the room.

Keamy begins making preparations to return to the Island. He orders Frank to refuel the helicopter, and Omar helps to attach an elaborate device to Keamy's arm. That night, Keamy and the other mercenaries suit up, gather their weapons, and prepare to board the helicopter. Frank refuses to fly them, believing that Keamy plans to kill everyone on the Island. Keamy threatens to kill Frank, but instead he kills Doc Ray by slitting his throat. Frank remains resolute, and Keamy threatens to shed more innocent blood. At that moment, Captain Gault--armed with a pistol--and two other men arrive. Gault holds Keamy at gunpoint and demands that the mercenaries surrender, but he pauses when Keamy shows him the device on his arm. While Gault is distracted, Keamy shoots him in the heart, killing him. Frank, having seen enough violence, agrees to fly Keamy and his crew to the Island. ("Cabin Fever")
