Profession: Bassist for Drive Shaft
The former bass player for the UK band Drive Shaft from Manchester, England, Charlie Pace was originally very hesitant to capitalize on the band's growing success. The tribulations and temptations of the rock-star lifestyle weighed heavily on him, even as his band gained notoriety. In the end, however, he was convinced by his brother, Liam, to participate in the band's future, explaining that the band needed Charlie because "he was the band." Nonetheless, Charlie only agreed after eliciting a promise from Liam that, if they ever felt it was too much, they would just walk away.About Dominic Monaghan:
As Drive Shaft became a world-famous band, Charlie noticed that his brother Liam was becoming both more self-destructive in his addictions and more controlling of the band. Just after a live performance, the situation boiled over when Charlie told Liam that the time had come to walk away. When Liam stormed off shouting that "he was the band now," Charlie realized that he had probably let it all go too far. Alone in the dressing room and blinded by the pain of the current situation, Charlie turned to Liam's heroin stash.
Eventually, Drive Shaft's fame faded, and with it, Charlie's relationship with Liam. The band broke up, and Charlie had to resort to theft to feed his heroin addiction. After a failed relationship with a wealthy woman named Lucy, Charlie turned to his brother to try to re-unite the band for a new tour. He flew to Australia to get his brother, who was now married and settled down, on board. Unlike Charlie, however, Liam could not be swayed by the promise of a return to the rock-star lifestyle. Moreover, when Liam noticed that Charlie was still addicted to heroin, he tried to get Charlie to remain in Sydney and enter a treatment program. Angry with Liam and blaming him for getting him hooked on heroin, Charlie storms off, saying he has a plane to catch.
The night before the flight, he meets a female fan in a bar and goes on a heroin binge with her in his hotel room. In the morning, he attempts to hide the remaining heroin from her, causing her to beat him up in attempt to take it from him. While he is hurrying for his flight, his hotel elevator is interrupted by the frantic Hurley, causing Charle to scold Hurley with "some of us have a plane to catch." On board the airplane, he attempts to cram his bass guitar into clothes closet. It is implied that he has taken his remaining heroin aboard the plane and stashes it in the forward lavatory near the cockpit. It is ostensibly for this reason that he insists on accompanying Jack and Kate on their initial expedition to find the nose of the plane, and why he mysteriously disappears while Jack and Kate interview the pilot in the cockpit.
Since coming to the island, Charlie has been involved in several major trials. First, he has been dealing with withdrawal from his addiction after burning his remaining stash in The Moth. Second, Charlie, along with Claire, was kidnapped by Ethan Rom, and nearly died when Ethan hung him from a tree. Third, after Claire's escape, Ethan came to him with a threat of killing the remaining survivors one by one until Claire was brought to him. When Ethan made good on his promise by killing Scott Jackson, the core survivors planned to capture him. In the ensuing fight with Ethan, Charlie took matters into his own hands and shot Ethan in Homecoming, claiming that it had to be done because he would never stop hunting Claire or them.
In Exodus Part 2 & 3, Rousseau kidnaps Claire's child. While pursuing her, Charlie follows Sayid to the plane where Boone was mortally injured. Not knowing that Charlie is a recovering addict, Sayid casually mentions the plane's cargo of heroin hidden within religious statuettes. As Sayid turns to leave, Charlie stares longingly at the packets scattered nearby; while the episode is ambiguous on whether he has resumed using the drug, his backpack is later shown holding one of the religious statuettes.
Charlie has developed several strong friendships on the island, but is closest to Hurley, and has a relationship bordering on romance with Claire.
