Full Name: Sayid Jarrah Reason for trip: Traveling to the United States to find a woman named Nadia Origin of Name: Honorific title for "lord" or "prince." See also Sayyid. Profession: Communications officer, promoted to intelligence division in the Iraqi Republican Guard A veteran of the Iraqi Republican Guard, from Tikrit, Iraq, Sayid Jarrah is trained in communications technology. He is haunted by memories of his time as an interrogator in which he would use extreme measures such as torture to gain information. During this time Sayid allowed a childhood friend, Nadia, who he was supposed to be interrogating, to escape after being ordered to kill her. Instead of doing so, he shot himself in the leg so she could get away with his gun. Sometime later, he was picked up in England by members of ASIS and the CIA who had been following his movements. He had apparently been trying to track down Nadia, whom the intelligence services said they had located. In exchange for her information, Sayid was recruited to infiltrate a terrorist cell in Sydney to uncover a stolen 300 pounds (136 kg) of C-4. Sayid was tasked with convincing Essam, his college roommate from Cairo University, to go through with being a suicide bomber so the intelligence officers could take possession of the missing explosives. Sayid warned Essam at the last moment to give him time to escape, but Essam became distraught that his supposed friend had deceived him over a woman, and killed himself. Sayid was released with a plane ticket to Los Angeles to look for Nadia, but asked for a flight for the next day, so that he might arrange a proper Muslim burial for Essam's body. After the crash, he was instrumental in repairing a transponder recovered from the thingypit and receiving the looped distress signal. He had attempted to locate the transmission origin of the signal, using triangulation, but was knocked out and his equipment smashed. John Locke has since claimed to be the one who did so. When he mistakenly tortured Sawyer for information on Shannon's asthma medicine, Sayid felt guilty and left the others to explore the island. Shortly afterwards, he was captured by Danielle Rousseau deep in the jungle, who revealed that she had been the one who recorded the taped transmission. Sayid has also grown closer to Shannon, even sharing a torch-lit dinner while unknowingly Boone was dying. But when Shannon asked him to do something about Locke, blaming Locke for Boone's death, he refused, and stopped Shannon from using one of Jack's guns to kill Locke. This has led to an apparent cooling of their relationship. Sayid and Shannon first met in the waiting area of the Sydney airport, when he asked her to watch his bag for a moment. She reported him to airport security as an "Arab man" who had left his bag unattended. She told Boone that she did so just to prove to him that she could do anything that she wanted to do. Sayid was forgiven later by security for the misunderstanding. all info from www.lost-media.com
