Kate Austen is one of the middle section survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. She is a fugitive, and was being pursued by Marshal Mars prior to the flight. She had been captured in Australia and was being escorted back to the United States before the crash. Kate has always seemed to run away from her past. Even on the Island, Kate exhibits a kind of evasive behaviour to escape from her problems.
