Alvar Hanso 是迷失的角色，由系列的製作團隊創作，他在迷失第2季第3集正式登場。
角色簡介[]
Alvar Hanso 是一名丹麥裔的商人，是Hanso組織的CEO和Hanso基金會的創辦人。他是Magnus Hanso（黑岩號的船長）的曾孫。關於Alvar Hanso的早年，只有很少資料，但已知他曾於第二次世界大戰期間，向歐洲的反抗組織提供軍需品。稍後，他成為北約高科技武器的主要承包商。但在1960年代，Alvar Hanso建立了Hanso基金會，不再進行武器研發，反而是想"創造更美好的明天"，並想以科學及科技來保存地球上的生命。
在作為一年的國外交換生時，Alvar來到位於安娜堡的密歇根大學，短暫地與DeGroot家庭居住。在這段期間，他與8歲的Gerald DeGroot經常在一起。他於丹麥的比隆的一所大學獲得化學學位，接著回到密歇根大學，攻讀成為工程碩士，並與DeGroot家族更親近（特別是與Gerald）。
當Gerald DeGroot畢業後，在籌集資金進行DHARMA計劃時，他與Alvar接觸以爭取財政支持。
在1967年，他於聯合國安理會上發表演說，關於"男人因其好奇心而被祝福"。8年後，Alvar出現於DHARMA計劃在1975年的Sri Lanka Video，向新人介紹DHARMA計劃，並解釋計劃的目的。計劃原是因為Alvar發現到Valenzetti方程式，並於1962年已被聯合國委託。方程式的結果，是估計人類會在何時會自我滅亡。Alvar在小島上建立了研究機構，以研究並試圖改變方程式的結果，從而改變"世界末日"的降落時刻
which described the theory's premise, including all rights to a reprint. In December 2002, Hanso made his last public appearance in Madrid, and then seemingly disappeared for years. He was traced by Rachel Blake in 2006 to Narvik, Norway. There, he admitted on camera that he was being held prisoner by his second-in-command at the Hanso Foundation, Thomas Werner Mittelwerk. He also revealed that he was in fact Rachel's father (presumably having had a relationship with her mother whilst she worked for his company), and had secretly financed her first-rate education for years before she began to question how her mother could afford it. (Norway Video) After Blake published the video and sent it to the authorities, Hanso was freed, releasing a statement on the Hanso Foundation website promising to reorganize the Foundation after Mittelwerk's corrupt actions.
According to Dr. Eliza Vasquez, there is something unusual about Alvar's bloodwork, which she suggested may have serious consequences to his health (see below). Javier Grillo-Marxuach also revealed in the aftermath of the Experience that Alvar was older than he seemed, after himself taking part in the Foundation's life extension experiments [1].
Biography[]
Alvar Hanso (from the Hanso Foundation website)
"Driven by a need for privacy and a deep-seated sense of humility, Alvar Hanso has released few details of his personal life to the public.
He first made his mark during the Second World War, providing munitions to various resistance movements around Europe. After the War, Hanso became the leading purveyor of high-technology armaments to NATO.
After decades of keeping the world safe through the development of sophisticated weapons systems, Hanso turned his attention to critical areas of science and technology - always searching for new ways to improve the human experience, and create a brighter future for all humanity.
Still running his vast network of companies, Hanso has set new standards for philanthropy and the support of pure scientific research for the betterment of the entire race."

The beginning of the hack
Locations of Alvar's last public appearances
On thehansofoundation.org website, a Persephone hack became available under Alvar's profile page. It detailed his disappearance from the public eye.

The date is circled several times. "Notice the grainy far away picture?"
"It doesn't match anyone else?" *clicking again continued the message* 14.06.2000 - London Once that sequence is complete, another message comes up stating: After that some flickering text is displayed stating: Persephone also voiceovers this part of the message. By saying: |

Feeds from the Hanso building
Persephone's final hack on the Hanso Foundation website showed a letter from Eliza Vasquez (see article for full letter). She wrote to Hanso advising him to contact her immediately after she'd taken a blood sample without his wishes. She stated that there was something unusual in the sample, and that if he didn't see her he may risk heart problems.
The hack then also showed hidden camera footage of Alvar's reserved car space, office desk and nearby elevator. Persephone noted that Alvar had not been there in months. The three screens changed to say 「Where Is Alvar」
July 10th, 2006[]
On his podcast, DJ Dan spoke to a caller who claimed they saw Alvar Hanso running a tour de stade. Dan replied by saying:
| 「 |
Recent estimates put Alvar Hanso at somewhere near 112 years old, I don't care what kind of life extension drugs they are pumping into the old boy. I couldn't run a tour de stade when I was twenty ok? |
」 |
This supported evidence by Dr. Vincent "Wally" Bolé that Alvar was himself involved in life extension, and was the first source to give an indication of Alvar's approximate age (though much of Dan's information on the show was speculative).
July – September 2006[]
In Sri Lanka, Rachel Blake filmed the Sri Lanka video, which included an Orientation film introduction by Alvar Hanso from the 1970s. See the video in full here.
| 「 |
I'm Alvar Hanso. If you are watching this film, you already know and have worked with Gerald and Karen DeGroot, founders and masterminds of the DHARMA Initiative. By now, you also know there are many research goals for our joint venture. What you may not know, is why we have assembled the DHARMA Initiative, why we have assembled the greatest minds in the world and given them unlimited funds and access. As with all you've already been told, you are bound by your honor and commitment to keep what you are about to hear a secret. In a few weeks, after your induction counseling and survival training, you and your colleagues will be shipped to a top secret facil[ity...] The precise location of the facility is known only to myself, the DeGroots, and the few high ranking members of my organization. Why all the security, all the secrecy? The answer is simple: Your research is intended to do nothing less than save the world as we know it. In 1962, only thirteen years ago, the world came to the brink of nuclear war. The United States and the Soviet Union almost fulfilled the promise of mutual assured destruction. A promise they continue to foster through a destructive Cold War. After the Cuban Missile Crisis, both nations decided to find a solution. The result was the Valenzetti Equation. Commissioned under the highest secrecy, through the U.N. Security Council, the equation is the brainchild of the Italian mathematician Enzo Valenzetti. It predicts the exact number of years and months until humanity extinguishes itself. Whether through nuclear fire, chemical and biological warfare, conventional warfare, pandemic, over-population... The results are chilling, and attention must be paid... Valenzetti gave numerical values to the core environmental and human factors in his equation: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42. Only by manipulating the environment, by finding scientific solutions to our problems we will be able to change those core factors, and give humanity a chance to survive. Although the equation has been buried by those who commissioned it [STATIC] panic. It has always been my belief that we ignore warnings at our own peril; and thus, the DHARMA Initiative was born. DHARMA is an acronym for Department of Heuristics and Research on Material Applications. It also stands for the one true way. [STATIC] ...and through your research, you will help human... [STATIC]. We have constructed several stations on the island, underground laboratories with the facilities you will need to do your research, with optimal expediency...all of the support you will need, including regular medicine and food drops will be made in perpetuity. A radio transmitter has also been erected on the island broadcasting in a frequency and encryption known only to us. The transmitter will only broadcast the core numerical values of the Valenzetti Equation. When, through your research, you manage to change the numerical value of any one of these factors, when you have created through science the [inaudible] ... We will know that the one true way has been found. That is the work to which you have committed yourself. Change the core values of the Valenzetti Equation, and you will change the course of destiny. The fate of the human race is in your hands. Thank you and namaste. |

With the help of her contacts, Rachel managed to infiltrate the house where Alvar was being kept a prisoner. There he told her what Mittelwerk had done, as well as reveal that he was indeed her father. To read a transcript, see here.
September 26th, 2006[]
After Mittelwerk became a wanted fugitive, Alvar was released and reinstated as head of the Hanso Foundation. He released a press release (viewable here), where he thanked Rachel and her followers, and promised to make amends for the bad name Mittelwerk had given the company.
Mysteries of the Universe[]
Mysteries of the Universe, a fictional 1982 television series that aired on the ABC network, dedidicated its fourth program to Alvar Hanso and his connection to the DeGroots and the DHARMA Initiative.
Bad Twin[]
In Chapter 23 of the meta-fictional book Bad Twin, Thomas Mittelwerk takes Alvar Hanso's place on the Widmore Corporation board. The two companies are said to have dealings together, but no explanation is given why Alvar is suddenly absent. Head of the board, Arthur Widmore comments talks with his son Cliff about the change:

"Damn right, they worked! And that new fellow from Hanso - Mudworm of whatever his name is-" |

Trivia[]
- Alvar is of Old English origin, and its meaning is "elf or supernatural army, warrior". From Aelfhere. Also possibly an Anglicized form of Spanish Alvaro, meaning "all guard" in Old German.
- According to both Scandinavian and English Wikipedias, the name Alvar originates from an area of the Swedish island of Öland, and means something like "treeless area on limestone". "The Great Alvar" is home to many rare plants, and on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
- The name Alvar has an Scandinavian origin coming from the name for Elves in old norse, álfar. Today they're called elver/alfer (danish), álfar (icelandic), alv (norwegian) and älvor/alfer (swedish). Indeed, the name Alvar is an norse name derived from elves.
- According to both Scandinavian and English Wikipedias, the name Alvar originates from an area of the Swedish island of Öland, and means something like "treeless area on limestone". "The Great Alvar" is home to many rare plants, and on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
- The Alvars were 12 saints who helped revive devotional Hinduism through their hymns of worship to Vishnu and his avatars.
- Neither Alvar nor Hanso are known Danish names. And the actor's accent in the Sri Lanka Video is distinctly Swedish, not Danish.
- According to Danish statistics only 12 people in Denmark (2008) has the name 'Alvar'. None has the lastname 'Hanso'.
- The sanskrit word for "swan" is hansa. Hindu spiritual leaders of lofty status are given the title of paramhansa, or "supreme swan." The title indicates being at home both in realms of matter and of spirit.
- Despite Hanso not being immediately recognizable as a Danish name, by substituting the "O" with the, uniquely Danish "Ø", changes the name to Hansø. Although, not necessarily an actual name, this actually means "His Island" in Danish, as the letter "ø" means island. The Danish "Ø" is the equivalent of the Swedish "Ö", which is also the Swedish word for island. Hence, "Hans ö" would mean "His island" in Swedish as well.
- There is a real Hans Island, or Hans Ø, located in the straight that separates Greenland from Ellesmere Island. [2]
- Dr. Vincent Bolé's bio on the Retrievers of Truth website notes that he once met Alvar Hanso at a life extension workshop.
- Hanso could be a nod at the character Han Solo from Star Wars.
- Alvar could be a variant of the name Halvar (Hallvard) meaning "Rock Guardian".
- There was some question as to why Alvar switched professions from wealthy munitions dealer to philanthropist interested in saving the world. Lost executive producer Javier Grillo-Marxuach, who was heavily involved in the Lost Experience, agreed on his blog to a questioner's speculation that he had had a "Alfred Nobel moment" (i.e. he decided to change his ways for a more lasting and positive legacy) [3].
