Martin Christopher Keamy was a mercenary and the leader of the mercenary team that traveled to the Island from the freighter Kahana. He and his team invaded the Barracks, shooting and killing several Oceanic Flight 815 survivors. He also staged a mutiny on the Kahana, killing first Doc Ray then Captain Gault. After the mutiny, he returned to the Island to finish his mission. He taunted Ben into killing him in the Orchid.

Before the freighter

He claims to be from Las Vegas, Nevada. ("The Constant")

According to Ben, Keamy served as a first sergeant in the United States Marine Corps from 1996 to 2001. He later worked for several mercenary companies, doing significant work in Uganda. ("The Shape of Things to Come")

On the Island/freighter

Keamy, Omar, and other members of the crew were skeet-shooting with automatic weapons. When Kevin Johnson (Michael) questioned the "rescue" mission's possession of the weapons, Keamy snidely asked if Kevin didn't have something to clean up. This seemed to be the final straw in Michael deciding to set off the bomb. ("Meet Kevin Johnson")

Season 4 (Days 94-100)

Keamy snatches the phone from Desmond. ("The Constant")

Upon Frank, Sayid, and Desmond's arrival on the freighter, Desmond began screaming and acting erratically. Keamy questioned Frank on why he brought the two with him. He and Omar then escorted Desmond down to the sickbay, summoning the ship's doctor and locking Desmond in with Minkowski. Later, Keamy and Omar returned to sickbay having been called by the doctor's emergency alarm. The pair quickly subdued Frank, Sayid, and Desmond, taking the satellite phone from Desmond and once again locking Sayid and Desmond in the sickbay. They then took Frank to speak with the captain. ("The Constant")

As Keamy leaves the freighter's interior, he encounters Frank bringing something into the ship. He reminds Frank not to be late. ("Ji Yeon")

Keamy talks to Ben and threatens to kill Alex. ("The Shape of Things to Come")

He and the other mercenaries were responsible for shooting Karl and Danielle. ("Meet Kevin Johnson") He then took Alex as bait for Ben, in order to extract Ben from his house. However, Ben remained steadfast, denouncing his daughter. Keamy then shot Alex in the head, killing her. This prompted a shocked Ben to unleash the Monster, which attacked the Freighter's mercenaries. Keamy could be heard repeatedly calling for his squad to fall-back. ("The Shape of Things to Come")

Keamy then appeared unharmed, with the rest of the mercenaries behind him, searching for any survivors. He then encountered Frank, who insisted that they return to the helicopter before night. Keamy reluctantly agreed, almost discovering Miles, Sawyer, and Claire in the bushes nearby due to a cry from Aaron. ("Something Nice Back Home")

Frank flew Keamy and the rest of the mercenaries back to the Kahana in the helicopter. There, Keamy threatened Captain Gault with a gun, believing that Gault told Ben about Keamy's history; Gault told Keamy that it was actually Michael who gave him up to Ben. Keamy confronted Michael and attempted to shoot him twice, but his gun failed to fire both times. Keamy let Michael live after he learned that Michael is the only one able to repair the ship's engines.

Keamy shows the device to Gault.("Cabin Fever")

Some time later, Keamy confronted Gault and forcibly took his key. Keamy used the key to unlock a safe, from which he took out a folder that contains, in his own words, "secondary protocol." Keamy claimed that this folder would allow him to find Ben, insinuating that Charles Widmore knew where Ben would go. Keamy asked Gault to fix his gun, and left the room.

Keamy began making preparations to return to the Island. He ordered Frank to refuel the helicopter, and Omar helped to attach an elaborate device to Keamy's arm. That night, Keamy and the other mercenaries suited up, gathered their weapons, and prepared to board the helicopter. Frank refused to fly them, believing that Keamy planned to kill everyone on the Island. Keamy threatened to kill Frank, but instead he killed Doc Ray by slitting his throat. Frank remained resolute, and Keamy threatened to shed more innocent blood. At that moment, Captain Gault--armed with a pistol--and two other men arrived. Gault held Keamy at gunpoint and demanded that the mercenaries surrender, but he paused when Keamy showed him the device on his arm. While Gault was distracted, Keamy shot him in the heart, killing him. Frank, having seen enough violence, agreed to fly Keamy and his crew to the Island. ("Cabin Fever")

Keamy at the Orchid ("There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3")

Upon arriving on the island, Keamy and the other mercenaries handcuffed Frank to a seat in the helicopter to ensure that he did not escape and leave them behind. They then continued on to The Orchid. Upon arrival, they silently paced and waited for Ben's arrival. When Ben did arrive, Keamy aimed a gun at his head. Ben surrendered, and Keamy forcefully knocked him out with the butt of his gun. ("There's No Place Like Home, Part 1")

Keamy and his men returned to the helicopter with Ben. When they were there they encountered Kate who claimed to be being chased by the Others. Keamy sent men into the jungle who were promptly disabled. A firefight ensued during which Keamy's men were killed. Keamy chased after Ben and Kate, who ran into the jungle. As he was doing so Sayid tackled him and the two fought. After being stabbed by Sayid in the back, Keamy managed to pin him to the ground and was choking him with a branch when he was shot, apparently fatally, by Richard. Later, however, Keamy arrived at the Orchid and revealed that he had a flak jacket that absorbed most of the bullet force. Keamy then proceeds to taunt Ben about how he killed Alex when Locke emerges. He says he has no quarrel with Keamy. Ben then disarms Keamy by hitting him three times with the telescopic baton, grabs his own knife and stabs him to death. Before dying, he said that Charles Widmore would never stop looking for Ben or the Island. His death then triggered the Kahana to explode and doing so killing everybody on the freighter. ("There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3")

Trivia

Keamy's tattoos

Keamy's episode count is 8 (as of "There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3").

The five-toed paw tattoo on Keamy's right shoulder vaguely resembles the company logo of Blackwater Worldwide, a privately-owned Tactical Training & Contract Security Service organization headquartered in North Carolina, USA.

Initial casting requirements for this role in "The Constant", described Martin Keamy as "late 20s - 30s, any ethnicity, dangerous, physical - a great tactician, loyal friend and the last enemy you ever want. Military type. Follows orders and doesn't question them".
