I'm sort of guessing that Ben was considered some sort of prophet, etc. But with the arrival of Locke, the so-called Hostiles are beginning to wonder if they got the wrong man the first time around, and maybe it's Locke. I'm also wondering if it's sort of a toss up between Ben, Locke and Jack. Jack, who has seen visions of his dead father.
And, seriously, what DADDY issues the writers must have, and some of the writers came from the Joss Whedon Buffy/Angel camp, shows also rife with serious Daddy issues. It KILLS me.
