16 - Hugo "Hurley" Reyes


"The number 16 is the number of difficulties and learning processes. It also stands for teaching and counselling," it says on herzvertrauen.de. According to numerology, the number 16 is associated with willingness to learn, strength of soul and the path of destiny. The number 16 also includes misfortune, heartache and problems. People with the number 16 are often sarcastic, put their foot in every mouth, are chaotic, but also courageous.

Hurley has been in trouble since he won the lottery with the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42. Since then he has been persecuted by misfortune: his grandfather dies, his mother injures her ankle, his house burns down and a reporter is beaten to death by a meteorite while she is shooting in his shop. On the island he often gets lost in the jungle or loses touch with the others.

Nevertheless, he proves his strength of soul and courage by always being there for the others and always remaining positive and innocent, no matter how much negativity surrounds him. Instead, everyone loves him, even Libby, with whom he is in love, but who is shot by Michael shortly after they get closer. This causes him an immense heartache.

Hurley is brave, for example when he approaches Rousseau although she threatens to shoot him. Moreover, he is often sarcastic in his expressions. He pretty much puts his foot in every mouth, for example by divulging secrets. But he also shows his willingness to learn, for example when he has to deal with the fact that new Dharma food is constantly coming to the island. Moreover, teaching and counseling are evident in him again and again, for instance when he gets Sawyer to be nicer to the others in the camp.

The path of destiny is important for Hurley as he has a huge impact on what happens on the island. His ability to talk to dead people gets Richard to work with them in the sixth season for instance. Also, he can find the hut in the woods when John is looking for it. His destiny is strongly connected to that of the island, resulting in him being its protector in the end.

As chaotic as he is, Hurley definitely makes a great number 16. But who’s next?
