Jacob
I think Jacob is Aaron from the future. This would account for the mysterious link between the shepherd family and the island and the importance of Aaron. I think at some point in the future, Richard and Jacob, who are alive on the island, mess around with the time travel... for whatever reason. However, something happens and Jacobs physical self or his consciousness is stuck between times or stuck in a time he isn’t supposed to be in. Richard, being involved in this, goes back in time also, but more successfully, to guide the island and the events on island... maybe to stop this disaster happening? This is why he is so trusted by Jacob. Perhaps Jacob is the rightful leader of the others in the future and his orders are final. Anything he says goes basically so when Ben tell Richard that its wot Jacob wants (which he has done on a few occasions), he immediately folds. He is in charge.
I think Aaron somehow goes back to the island just as charlotte did.. the island draws him to it at some point in his life (as it dus with anyone who ahs been there before). He maybe adopts a different name (much like sawyer did) for some reason... protection maybe?? Anyways, he, just as Locke has, becomes the official leader of the others due to the islands acceptance of him and possibly some miracle?. He lives his life on the island but (judging by his grey hair in ‘cabin fever’) at a certain age, possibly around Christians age, he time travels. Maybe he finds out about these mysterious flight survivors and all that happened on the island with regards to time travel etc and he is interested in gaining more knowledge. However, what he dusnt realise is that he is an intrinsic part of it all as his consciousness gets trapped way back in 1950’s which is when he is first mentioned.
Richard, tried to save him by going back himself... unfortunately without a Daniel faraday to help, he fails to get back to where he is supposed to be and subsequently has to live out his life on the island ... he doesn’t physically age however... he communes with Jacob frequently for what to do next. He probably begins to realise that all that has happened in the past 9and even before he was born), he has been intrinsically part of, as had Jacob. This is also why he is immediately excepting to the time travel explanations from sawyer etc... he knows its true.
I believe jacks Grand Father is brought to the island at some point (it was hinted that he had been there IMO when we saw him in a previous episode... he also just happened to have his dead sons shoes also suggesting he knew about the island and where jack was going... bit of a coincidence?) as aaron/Jacob was intrigued about his family. This is also why Christian can speak for him and why Claire was with him also in his little cabin. Because she was his mother... the reason she left her baby (even though she was so protective of him)_ was because she was advised to by her grandfather and her son. Effectively she wasn’t leaving him, as she was rejoining him as his adult self and possibly helping him (we know he needs helps as he tells john this ‘help me’... and if this is right, he needs ot get back to where he is supposed ot be). She didn’t need to be worried about him as she finds out he is well looked after by kate and then her mother and eventually comes back to! the island anyways... maybe he just needs to be out of the way for the upcoming war as he is really important.
hmmm is it possible?..
