Before the Island
Edit
The ring, an heirloom of the Pace family, bore the initials of Dexter Stratton, the paternal grandfather of Megan Pace. It first belonged to Liam Pace, Charlie's brother, who named their band, Drive Shaft, after the initials on the ring. The ring traveled down through the generations, eventually belonging to Liam. ("The Greater Good")
One Christmas morning in Helsinki, during Drive Shaft's second tour of Finland, Liam, concerned that he would die early and not have an heir to pass the ring along to, gave the ring to Charlie, who he deemed more likely to begin a family. ("Greatest Hits")
Charlie wore the ring while traveling on Oceanic Flight 815, at one point tapping it nervously on the armrest of his plane seat while waiting to get a fix of heroin. ("Pilot, Part 2")
On the IslandEdit

Charlie wore the ring for the 91 days he survived on the island. However, before leaving for his fatal mission to the Looking Glass, Charlie left the ring in Aaron Littleton's crib, passing the ring on to the infant, who in their short time together on the Island had become something of an adopted son to Charlie. ("Greatest Hits")
 Sun finds Charlie's ring, three years after his death in ("The Incident, Part 1"). |
However, Aaron never received the ring, as he never returned to his crib before leaving the Island as one of the Oceanic Six. ("There's No Place Like Home, Part 2") The ring remained in Aaron's crib during the time flashes.
When encountering the camp in 2007, on the way to see Jacob, Sun found the abandoned crib and the ring within it. ("The Incident, Part 1") It is assumed to have still been in her possession upon her death, indicating it went down with Widmore's submarine. ("The Candidate")

TriviaEdit
- Charlie's D.S. ring is included as a prop in the Charlie action figure set.
- Despite his suggestion that Charlie was more likely to have a family, Liam was in fact the one who ended up settled with a wife and child, while Charlie was the one who persisted in dreams of rock superstardom and a lifestyle of drug addiction. The ring should have been passed to Charlie's niece Megan Pace, as Liam was the eldest child and Megan was his daughter.
- In "The Moth" both Charlie and Liam were seen together wearing D.S. rings. This may be a production error.
- Dominic Monaghan, who plays Charlie, also played Meriadoc 'Merry' Brandybuck in the Lord of the Rings, a film trilogy that also featured a special ring in a prominent role.
- Dominic played Simon Campos in ABC's FlashForward, which also dealt with a 'special ring.'
