* [[Jacob's brother]] is prevented from reaching the [[source]] by his [[mother]], who kills [[Claudia's people]] and fills in his [[well]].
−
* Jacob's brother, having attained position in the other camp, has constructed a well in the hopes of reaching the Source and escaping the Island. While meeting with Jacob, he expresses hatred of other people and confirms his overriding desire to leave the Island. When his mother learns of the efforts by Jacob's brother, she visits him at his excavations where he is succeeding to access [[the Source]]. She then proceeds to knock him out, bury his work, and kill all the other people, destroying their village.

* She then takes Jacob to the Source and makes him [[agelessness|ageless]] like her. After awakening and discovering the ruined work and village, the brother, distraught, kills their mother. Jacob fights with him and takes him to the Source, throwing him headfirst into the water, where his lifeless body floats into the Source, vanishing. Moments later, a [[pillar of smoke]] shoots out of the cave. Jacob discovers his brother's body deep in the jungle, and places it next to his mother's in a [[the caves|cave]]. The two will become the skeletons known as [[Adam and Eve]] found by Jack, Kate, Locke and Charlie some centuries later. {{crossref|1x06}}, {{crossref|6x15}}

* Jacob's brother, in a fit of rage at mother's attack, kills her before himself being killed by Jacob - an act which creates the smoke monster. Jacob then lays the bodies of mother and brother to rest in the [[caves]].

Most likely this occured between 13-30 years later than Jacob's birth, as consequence of Claudia's people discovering certain places on the Island where metal behave strangely, and there was no re-excavation, but rather it was covered by [[Mother]] and found by the [[DHARMA Initiative]]. {{crossref|5x01}}

* Jacob commences efforts to identify and consider [[candidates]] to replace him, as his brother's spirit searches to kill him in order to escape the Island.

Prior to Twentieth Century

Indeterminate time in past

Before Jacob and his brother's birth

"Across the Sea"

Very likely after Across the Sea

  • The structures known as the Ruins are built and then permanently abandoned.
  • The Taweret statue is fashioned and erected.
  • Elements of the Temple complex are constructed.

"Lafleur"

About two millennia before the crash of Flight 815 (Roman period)

"Across the Sea"

  • An ancient ship, crewed by Latin-speaking people, is wrecked off the coast of the Island. Much of the crew make it to the Island.
  • The next day, Claudia comes ashore at another part of the Island, where she is discovered by the mysterious woman. Claudia gives birth to twins, Jacob and his brother, before being killed by the woman, who becomes adoptive mother to the twin boys.

13 years later

"Across the Sea"

  • The shipwreck survivors have built a thriving community of yurts and go on hunting expeditions deep into the forest.
  • Jacob and his brother discover the evidence of other people for the first time while hunting a boar. Their mother shows them the Source, and explains little of their destiny to protect it. Claudia visits her son in spirit, and Jacob's brother attempts to coerce Jacob into leaving for the other camp, but is beaten by Jacob and leaves Jacob and his mother for the camp.

30 years after the shipwreck

"Across the Sea"

  • Stonework and water-channeling system as a type of underground shrine are built for the Heart of the Island.
  • Jacob's brother is prevented from reaching the source by his mother, who kills Claudia's people and fills in his well.
  • Mother takes Jacob to the Source and makes him ageless like her.
  • Jacob's brother, in a fit of rage at mother's attack, kills her before himself being killed by Jacob - an act which creates the smoke monster. Jacob then lays the bodies of mother and brother to rest in the caves.

Either earlier or later than Jacob's birth

Most likely later events

Later events

  • Jacob commences efforts to identify and consider candidates to replace him, as his brother's spirit searches to kill him in order to escape the Island. He leads groups of people from parts of the outside world to the Island at different times, but strife among themselves or other problems, including potential involvement with this brother, lead to their death without descendants.
