Eloise told Daniel that he had a unique destiny and must develop his skills. Daniel responded that he counted 864 beats (8x108). To prove it, she asked how many beats of the metronome had Daniel counted since he started playing. One day, when Daniel was playing the piano, his mother, Eloise, told him that he should not waste time on such things as music, focusing on science instead. He was a very gifted scientist but enjoyed music even more. Eloise also changed his last name to Faraday so Charles could not find him. (" The Variable")ĭaniel was born on the mainland (as there is a birth certificate for him) and was the son of Eloise Hawking and Charles Widmore, although he did not know the identity of his father (that was left blank on the birth certificate). Young Daniel talks to his mother, Eloise.


His plans to detonate the hydrogen bomb Jughead were carried on by Jack Shephard. Under unknown circumstances, he became a DHARMA Initiative scientist working in Ann Arbor but returned to the Island in 1977, where, after a frenzied attempt to change the past, he unwittingly was shot and killed by his mother, who was with The Others at the time. When the flashes through time stopped, stranding James "Sawyer" Ford's group in 1974, he joined the other survivors in becoming part of the DHARMA Initiative. When the time flashes started, he assumed an early leadership role in Sawyer's group due to his expertise in quantum physics and protectiveness of Charlotte. He harbored romantic feelings for science team colleague Charlotte Lewis until her death from temporal displacement. His experiments with time travel debilitated his girlfriend and damaged his memory, forcing him to flee his Oxford professorship, but his illness was healed when he arrived on the Island. Faraday spent his entire adult life studying space-time. He was the son of Eloise Hawking and Charles Widmore, who were both former leaders of the Others. He was distinguished by his polite demeanor and his scientific insight into the Island's mysterious properties. Daniel Faraday was a physicist and professor who parachuted onto the Island from a helicopter sent by the freighter Kahana. For other uses of "Daniel", see Daniel (disambiguation).ĭr.
