I'm looking at "Captain Eyeliner" as an agent of the islands power, instead of the power itself (but yes, extremely old. If we ever see the statue again, I'll bet we see Richard too...). My guess is that he's the one that rallies whatever new faction comes onto the island to overthrow the old one. He encourages the Others to go after the Losties, and the Dharma's before them. I'm also guessing some of the army folks from '54 are in his group that wars with the Dharma folks. Guy seems to have a lot of misplaced agression.
Maybe it's just my experiences with another well written show, but doesn't Lost seem to be falling into a "this has happened before and will happen again" kind of pattern? I wouldn't be surprised to find out Jack's a cylon at this point.
