Summary

Charles Widmore is a wealthy member of the Widmore family and the father of Penelope. He is currently using the Kahana to search for the Island.

---

Charles, an executive at Widmore Industries, offered Desmond Hume a job, which Desmond declined, saying all he wanted was Widmore’s daughter’s hand in marriage. Charles did not give him permission, stating that Desmond would “never be a great man”. (“Flashes Before Your Eyes”)

In 1996, Widmore purchased the journal of the first mate of the Black Rock, a 19th century British slave ship, at a Southfield’s auction. Desmond found him at the auction, demanding to know Penny’s new contact information. Widmore asserted that it was Desmond’s cowardice that separated Desmond from Penny. Desmond asked Widmore why Widmore hated him; Widmore retorted that it wasn’t he who hated Desmond. He then gave Desmond Penny’s address. (“The Constant”)

Widmore’s disapproval of his daughter’s relationship with Hume led to his interception of letters that Desmond wrote to Penelope while serving time in a military prison. (“Live Together, Die Alone”)

Widmore attempted to bribe Desmond to cease the relationship and never see Penelope again. He sponsors the sailing race around the world that Desmond, in an attempt to regain his honor, was participating in when he crashed onto the Island. (“Live Together, Die Alone”)
