This man is one of the Others who is first encountered on a boat by the raft group, though he is not specifically named for some time. He tells them that they must hand over the boy. When they refuse to cooperate, he orders Walt's kidnapping and the destruction of the raft. He is nicknamed "Zeke" by Sawyer, because of his beard.
He is again encountered when Jack, Locke and Kate go after Michael. There, after he faces off with Jack and is recognized by Sawyer from the raft. His group surrounds the smaller group of 815 survivors, and forces them to sit down and talk. He tells them Walt is fine, and "is a very special boy." He also tells Jack "This is not your island. This is our island. And the only reason you're living on it is because we let you live on it." and warns Jack "not to cross the line." He convinces the small group to give up their guns and go home, after he shows that they've captured Kate, and won't release her until they disarm.
In the Staff Station, he appears without a beard in a lab coat, and chastises Ethan for bringin in Claire without completing the List. He refers to the mysterious "He" in this episode as the one who is in charge. A fake beard and theatrical glue discovered in the medical hatch locker reveal that the ragged appearance of the Others is a sham.
Later, the Prisoner (fake "Henry") is interrogated by Sayid, who asks if the bearded man is "Him." The Prisoner scoffs that "He is no one. Nothing."
Tom is the one to trap Michael with the bolo, and tells Pickett that they must take him alive.
When the 4 on the list are brought in to the dock area, Kate asks him to take off his beard disguise, and he is chastised by the Prisoner, who appears to be his superior. Ms. Klugh calls him for the first time by his real name, Tom, which annoys him.
Tom is later present at the Hydra, where he interacts with Kate and Sawyer as they are held prisoner.
It is also of note that this Tom shouldn't be confused with Kate's ex-boyfriend of the same first name. Please see BRENDON, TOM.
