Fictional Character on the
ABC television series ''
Lost '' played by
Naveen Andrews .
Born in 1968, Sayid served as a communications officer in the
Iraqi Republican Guard . During the
Gulf War (when Sayid was 23), Sayid's base is captured by the Americans. As the only Iraqi among his squad who speaks English, the Americans use Sayid to ask his superior officer, Tariq, about a missing US pilot. After learning that Tariq ordered a
Sarin gas attack on his village, Sayid is given a box filled with torture tools given to him by the US, which he uses to successfully interrogate Tariq about the location of the pilot. When the Gulf War ends with Saddam still in power, Sayid is released by the US and goes back into the Iraqi Republican Guard. He swears he will never torture again.
Sayid continues his military service using his knowledge of torture. However, his loyalty is shattered when he is ordered to torture his childhood friend, Nadia. When she is set to be executed, Sayid helps her to escape by killing his commanding officer and shooting himself in the leg to make it look like she escaped on her own.
Sometime after the in
Sydney whose members he is familiar with, and uncover 300 pounds (136 kg) of stolen
C-4 , then the intelligence agency will tell him where Nadia is.
Sayid is tasked with convincing Essam, his college roommate from
Cairo University , to go through with being a
Suicide Bomber so the intelligence officers can take possession of the missing explosives. Sayid warns Essam at the last moment to give him time to escape, but Essam becomes distraught that his supposed friend has deceived him over a woman, and kills himself. Sayid is released with a plane ticket to
Los Angeles to look for Nadia, who they tell him is living in Irvine, but he asks for a flight for the next day, so that he can arrange a proper
Muslim burial for Essam's body. He's then given a ticket on Oceanic flight 815.
Sayid is initially accused by
Sawyer of being a terrorist who crashed the plane. He proves himself instrumental by repairing the
Transceiver recovered from the cockpit and receiving the looped
Distress Signal recorded by
Rousseau . Sayid comes close to triangulating the signal, but
Locke knocks Sayid out before he is successful. Sayid tortures Sawyer for information on
Shannon 's
Asthma medicine. During a struggle he stabs Sawyer with a knife. Sayid feels guilty and leaves to explore the island. Shortly afterwards, he is captured by Rousseau.
Sayid grows closer to Shannon when she helps him translate Rousseau's notes. After
Boone's death, Shannon asks Sayid to kill Locke. Sayid refuses to do so, and also stops Shannon from using one of
Jack's guns to kill Locke. This leads to an apparent cooling of their relationship. Eventually, Sayid and Shannon consummate their relationship. Shortly after, Shannon is accidentally shot and killed by
Ana-Lucia , who proceeds to tie him to a tree. She later lets him go after Sayid sympathizes with her.
Sayid digs Shannon's grave and attends her funeral, which he leaves early. Hurley asks Sayid to fix the tail-sectioners' radio. He does and it picks up the song "Moonlight Serenade" by Glenn Miller.
Rousseau captures a man named
Henry Gale and gives him to Sayid, claiming he is an Other. Sayid interrogates him, and Henry constantly denies it. Unconvinced, Sayid begins beating him. Jack stops the interrogation, but Sayid still believes that Henry is an Other. Along with Charlie he joins Ana-Lucia in her search for Henry's balloon. He is eager to find out if it even exists, because he blames the Others for Shannon's death and wants to take his vengeance out on Henry. The three discover the balloon, as well as the grave of Henry's wife, but Sayid is still unconvinced. He digs up the grave and discovers a dead man inside. An ID card on the man reveals him to actually be the true Henry Gale, suggesting that the "Henry Gale" in the hatch is indeed an Other, using the dead man's name as a temporary alias when he was caught by Rousseau. After this reveleation, in a heated exchange with "Henry," Sayid almost shoots him, but
Ana-Lucia hits his arm so the bullet misses.
