Files
From Lostpedia
The Others keep various files on the people they encounter on the Island. Mikhail was in charge of collecting this intelligence at The Flame. The information they collect appears to be extremely good, including many secrets such as Kate's criminal history, Sawyer's murder of Frank Duckett, and John's history with his father. They are aware of all of the true names of the characters with nicknames or aliases such as Hurley and Sawyer. It is unknown if the Others possess files on residents of the Islands who are not members of Flight 815, such as each other, or non-Others they are aware of such as Danielle Rousseau, Desmond Hume, Kelvin, Radzinsky, or the true Henry Gale.

- Sarah is now living a happy life.
In "Left Behind" while Juliet and Kate are going back to the Barracks, they are discussing about Jack. Juliet makes Kate believe that The Others know about the Losties more than they think. She says that she knows these things about Jack:
- his birth place
- his parents' jobs
- his marriage with Sarah and the reason for the divorce
- his father's death and the reason for it
- his height
- his weight
- his birthday
- his blood type
Sawyer's file
In "The Brig" when trying to convince Locke that he can kill his father without doing it himself, Richard Alpert hands him a file on Sawyer, containing:
- His full name: James Ford
- His alias: "Sawyer"
- An interpol police report saying that Sawyer killed a man in Sydney
- Information that his parents died when he was very young.

Files on Flight 815
Mikhail presents the following information to Ben:
- Name of the flight: Oceanic Flight 815
- Takeoff place: Sydney, Australia
- Destination: Los Angeles
- 324 people on board (including the flight crew)
He also promises Ben that he would give him detailed files on every single passenger.
Rachel's file
In a flashback in "One of Us", Ben shows Juliet a file on her sister, Rachel. On the medical file, it can be seen that Rachel's cancer has returned and she won't be able to give birth to the child because by that time she would have been dead.
Later in the same episode, Mikhail carries out a live feed between Richard (who is in Acadia Park) and The Flame (on the Island). It can be seen that Rachel is alive and had given birth to her child, a healthy baby boy.
Charles Widmore's file
Ben kept a file on Charles Widmore, which he handed over to Locke after showing Locke the videotape depicting Widmore assaulting a captured Other in his purported quest to glean information about the Island. ("The Other Woman")
The Others' knowledge on the Losties
The Others call the castaways by their full names, or by their real names (instead of using an alias or oft-used nickname), using which they want to show the castaways that they are "the main group of people on the Island". Some occurrences from this type are:
- The Others know the full names of the 4 members that Michael is supposed to give to the Others. ("Three Minutes") They are written on the list that Bea Klugh gave Michael. The people on the list are:
- Juliet knows Sawyer's real name. ("The Glass Ballerina")

JULIET: James! | ” |
- Colleen knows Sun's full name. ("The Glass Ballerina")
| “ |
SUN: Stop; or I'll shoot. | ” |
