Ben says he had been on the island his whole life, which means at some point is time, someone would have to have been raising him. Either they could be blood relatives, adopted, or symbolically father and son through a leadership point of view. Jacob is obviously higher up on the food chain than Ben, but he is MIA and Ben seems to be in charge. What do you think?
