Zuleikha Robinson Lost
She was cast as Ilana Verdansky. Ilana Verdansky was an Ajira Flight 316 survivor. She stated to Sayid Jarrah that she was a bounty hunter hired by the Avellino family to kidnap Sayid and transport him to Guam. In actuality, Jacob, with whom she had a previous relationship, summoned her to the Island to protect the other contenders.
Once Sayid was apprehended in Los Angeles, Ilana forced him aboard Flight 316, which was accompanied by the majority of the Oceanic Six. The jet encountered turbulence during the journey and crashed on Hydra Island. There, she seized command of a group of people that included Bram, Jacob’s fellow server, Sun, Frank, Ben, and numerous survivors of the Flight 316 catastrophe.
She took this group to the ruins of Taweret’s statue, where she revealed to Richard Alpert and the Others that the man they were with, John Locke, was not who they believed he was. Ilana guided several of the candidates to safety during her time on the Island. When she saw Richard again, she told him that Jacob had chosen him as the person who would know what to do. Ilana devised a mission to destroy the Ajira plane in accordance with Richard’s instructions. However, in her rush, she mismanaged some Black Rock dynamite, which detonated and killed her instantaneously.
