I think its Jin, and you're right, it veers from tradition because its in a FF.

As for the constant business, when traveling through time, one needs a "constant", a thing or a person that exists and is recognizable and has an emotional value in both times. The reason why Eloise the rat and Minkowski died is because they didn't have a constant. Desmond has a constant, Penny, so he didn't die. Fun fact I found on Lostpedia: There is a geometry theorm called "Minkowski's constant". The last scene was from Faraday's notebook, and that note was written in 1996 after he met Desmond.
