The freighter mercenaries came to the Island aboard the freighter Kahana to apprehend Ben Linus. They were responsible for the deaths of at least six people on the Island. They are lead by Martin Keamy.

Activities on the freighter
The first sign that there were any mercenaries on the boat was when Michael, under the alias of Kevin Johnson, noticed Keamy, Omar, and two other mercenaries along with one of the freighter's crew skeet-shooting off the deck. When questioned by Kevin about his actions, Keamy snidely dismissed Michael. ("Meet Kevin Johnson")
Keamy was later seen telling Frank not to be late, apparently because Frank was taking several of the mercenaries to the Island. ("Ji Yeon")
Activities on the Island
First mission
The mercenaries fatally shot Karl and Danielle Rousseau and took hostage Alex as the three were hiking to the security of the Temple. Upon coming to the sonar fence protecing the Barracks, they forced Alex to deactivate it. Unbeknownst to them, however, this caused a telephone to ring and inform those in the Barracks that the fence had been shut down.
The mercenaries commenced an assault on the Barracks, shooting and killing Doug, a blonde woman, and Jerome, three Oceanic Flight 815 survivors who had followed Locke to the Barracks for its security. They destroyed Claire's house with a rocket-propelled grenade. (Claire survived the explosion and was rescued from the rubble by Sawyer.) The mercenaries then ceased fire as Sawyer brought Claire to Ben Linus's house, revealing Ben's hiding place.
Next, the mercenaries released Miles from his imprisonment in the boat house, giving him a walkie and sending him to Ben's house. Keamy used the walkie to negotiate with Ben, ordering him to come out and give himself up to the custody of the mercenaries. After Ben's refusal, a mercenary brought Ben's daughter Alex to Keamy, and he held her at gunpoint, threatening to kill her if Ben did not give himself up. When Ben again refused to comply, Keamy shot Alex in the head.
Ben promptly summoned the Monster, and it indiscriminately attacked the mercenaries. While Keamy screamed orders for the mercenaries to fall back, one unfortunate mercenary was dragged back into the jungle by a tendril of the Monster. ("The Shape of Things to Come")
Mayhew was thrown 50 feet into the air, causing him internal injuries, leaving him bloodied and unable to walk unassisted. He later died of his wounds shortly after the helicopter flight back to the Kahana. ("Something Nice Back Home") ("Cabin Fever")
Second mission
After stopping for a brief respite back on the Kahana (allowing Omar time to strap a device to Keamy's arm and for Keamy to read the secondary protocol), the five remaining mercenaries returned to the Island after the shooting of Captain Gault. ("Cabin Fever")
Upon arriving on the Island five kilometers from the Orchid, the mercenaries handcuffed Frank to the helicopter and set off to the Orchid to await Ben's arrival, as predicted by the secondary protocol. Ben eventually did arrive, surrendering as a diversion so that Locke could sneak into the station. Keamy then knocked Ben out with the butt of his pistol. ("There's No Place Like Home, Part 1")
