We Were Kids Then...

Benjamin Linus, Blair Wilson, and Josh Greene weren't always Others. The three grew up together in the Dharma Initiative, as we discovered in Chapter 12. Blair and Benjamin, along with Annie, were best friends, while Josh was a bully who targeted Ben and Annie. All that changed, however, when the hostiles viciously attacked the Dharma compound. In the ensuing battle, Blair's father and Annie were killed, while Blair and Ben saved Josh's life. The event sealed a life long friendship between the three. And although they may question each other's motives sometimes, there is no friendship stronger among the Others.
