Dr. Jack Shephard, M.D., was an American spinal surgeon and the plane crash survivors' de facto leader. Before the crash, his obsessive personality wrecked his marriage and his relationship with his father. On the Island, though, the survivors sought his guidance during many crises and missions, and he united them until they cooperated and formed a society. Jack developed romantic relationships with Kate and later Juliet. Jack and Sawyer's shared romantic interest in Kate sparked a jealous rivalry between them for her affections. His rationality, so useful when solving problems, prevented him from accepting the Island's mystic properties and caused friction with "man of faith" John Locke. Problems arose that Jack could not fix despite his obsession and self-sacrifice. Though he tried to repress his guilt, at times he would resort to physical or emotional outbursts.
