Character Secrets test

Many of the Lost characters have deep, dark secrets that have, to various degrees, affected the decisions, consequences and relationships within the narrative of the series. Many of these secrets have caused characters to resort to deception or manipulation to keep the secret from being revealed.

It can be said that many secrets were kept under duress as to avoid unwanted attention or to seemingly promote the greater good. Others were kept to create the semblance of normalcy, and a few have prompted grim consequences upon their exposure. The following list below includes character secrets that have proven to be significant, some of which have been revealed, over the course of the show.
