The 100 (pronounced The Hundred[1]) is an American post-apocalyptic drama television series that premiered on The CW during the 2013–14 American television season.[2][3][4] The series is based on a book of the same name, the first in a trilogy by Kass Morgan, and developed by Jason Rothenberg.[5] The show premiered on Wednesday, March 19, 2014.[6]

The following is a list of characters that have appeared on the television series. Although some are named for, or based upon characters from Kass Morgan's The 100 trilogy, there are others created solely for the television series.

Characters

Sky People

Sky people, or Skaikru (in Trigedasleng), is a term used by the grounders to describe a person who came from The Ark. They are also commonly known as Arkers. The sky people alive today are descendants of humans who survived the nuclear apocalypse 97 years before the show by living in space in the Ark.

Grounders

The "grounders" or "outsiders" (by the mountain men) describes people born on Earth rather than in space or Mount Weather. The grounders alive today are descendants of humans who survived the nuclear apocalypse 97 years ago. Many of the 100 have negative views toward grounders, just like a lot of grounders have a negative view of the 100. They were the primary antagonists of the first season. There are 12 grounder clans, including the Woods Clan (also known as the Tree People).

Mountain Men

Mountain Men, or Maunon (in Trigedasleng) is a term used by the Sky People and the grounders to describe a person who comes from Mount Weather. The Mountain Men alive today are descendants of humans who survived the nuclear apocalypse 97 years before the show, by living inside of Mount Weather. They are responsible for creating the savage Reapers as well as the Acid Fog that have both killed many. Because of this the grounders have a negative view of Mountain Men.

Main cast

Clarke Griffin

Eliza Taylor portrays the role of Clarke.

Portrayed by Eliza Taylor, Clarke Griffin[5] is the daughter of Dr. Abigail Griffin and Jake Griffin, and the leader of the 100. She was imprisoned as an accessory to the crimes of her father. Down on the ground, she tries to ensure the 100's survival by getting food, resources, and continuously serves as their medic. She is portrayed as relatively benevolent but will fight or kill when there are no options, and possesses natural leadership qualities. Clarke is gradually hardened and matured by her experience on Earth, which transforms her into a strong heroine in the series, in a struggle for the people of the Ark and the inhabitants on the planet to co-exist peacefully and thus in hopes of the reunification of humankind. On February 28, 2015, show creator Jason Rothenberg confirmed that Clarke is bisexual; this makes her the first openly bisexual lead character on the CW network.[7]

Abby Griffin

Portrayed by Paige Turco, Chancellor Abigail "Abby" Griffin is Clarke's mother.[5] She is the chief medical officer of the Ark and the main proponent regarding the habitable status of Earth. Her husband was the chief engineer, Jake Griffin. She starts the series as Councilor, before being stripped of her seat, but becomes the Chancellor on Earth. Abby becomes friends with Raven Reyes when she needs her mechanical expertise; in addition, Raven reminds Abby of Clarke. Abby's relationship with her daughter is estranged following Clarke's discovery of her mother's betrayal to her father which led to his execution.

Finn Collins

Thomas McDonell portrays the role of Finn.

Portrayed by Thomas McDonell, Finn Collins (seasons 1–2)[5] is a caring teenager who is always looking for fun and a peaceful solution. He is more interested in helping others than seeking vengeance. He was arrested for being a spacewalker and wasting oxygen, but it was revealed that he took the fall for Raven. Originally Clarke's love interest, Finn's relationship with Clarke starts collapsing when he is revealed to be Raven's boyfriend. His romances with both girls are subsequently ended, but Finn and Clarke still love each other, and Raven still loves Finn. In season two, his fear of losing Clarke in addition of the hardships he endures causes him to become more unpredictable and violent, such as murdering eighteen unarmed grounders and wanting to leave others from the Ark to die to find Clarke. This leads the grounders to want revenge, demanding that he be sacrificed. He is mercifully killed by Clarke so the grounders cannot torture him. He appears briefly after his death as Clarke's grief-induced hallucination.

Wells Jaha

Eli Goree portrays the role of Wells.

Portrayed by Eli Goree, Wells Jaha (season 1; guest, season 2)[5] is Clarke's childhood best friend and the son of Thelonious Jaha, the Ark's Chancellor at the start of the series. He is despised by some of the 100 because of his father. He intentionally committed a crime when he found out about the imminent launch to Earth so as to join the group in the hope to protect Clarke, for whom he harbors feelings. Clarke believed he was the reason her father is dead; only to find out later that her mother was the one who betrayed her father and Wells willingly took the blame to prevent Clarke from hating her. On the ground, he is hardworking and thoughtful, volunteering to dig graves and collect rainwater, and his knowledge in Earth's botany is valuable to Clarke for gathering herbal medicine until his death. He is murdered by Charlotte in the third episode out of retribution for his father's executing her parents. He appears once again in season two, when Thelonious hallucinates that Wells is alive and with him on the Ark, when everyone else has left for the surface.

Octavia Blake

Marie Avgeropoulos portrays the role of Octavia.

Portrayed by Marie Avgeropoulos, Octavia Blake[5] is Bellamy's younger sister – a rare relationship given the Ark's one-child rule. She was kept a secret by her family, living under the floor to avoid detection by authorities, but was eventually caught when Bellamy sneaked her out of her room to attend a masked ball. Once discovered, some of the detainees discriminate against her for being a second child and thus an outcast to the Ark's dystopian society. She is a fiercely independent girl who is constantly rebelling and getting attention from men, most notably the grounder Lincoln but, just like Clarke, she is not exactly built for war so she is horrified at what she sees and experiences at first. In season two, she becomes more immersed in grounder culture and serves as Indra's second. Originally she felt hatred towards Clarke for being the daughter of someone in the same council who had her locked up; it is intensified when she discovers Clarke knew about the bombing of Tondc and did nothing about it and allowed all those grounders to die, after the events of Mt. Weather (even telling Indra that she won't leave behind Bellamy and her friends.) she remains in her grounder gear, and berates Lincoln for wearing an Ark jacket and being naive as she still holds a grudge towards them. Eventually, Lincoln is brutally killed in front of her as the result of the actions of Bellamy and his paranoia, which has driven a potentially life-long rift between them.

Bellamy Blake

Bob Morley portrays the role of Bellamy.

Portrayed by Bob Morley, Bellamy Blake is Octavia's brother.[5] He professes a strong determination to protect his sister, spanning from her birth. He was the leader of the 100, although often loses focus and control over the group, and uses militaristic approaches. He develops from an antagonistic character to an antihero, realizing the 100 matter to him and showing compassion towards enemies and fallen comrades. He has since then returned to a moderately antagonistic role, as he allies himself with Pike and manipulates both Clarke and Octavia, which leads to both of their lovers being brutally killed. He initially clashes with Clarke over their opposing approaches to their respective responsibilities over their people, but ultimately both he and Clarke develop a mutual respect and learn to compromise for each other's methods. He still feels guilty for getting Octavia caught, which led to her lockup and his mother's death. In the third season, he aligns himself with the new Chancellor after finding out about the 49 people (one of them being his girlfriend) being bombed in Mt. Weather all because he trusted a grounder who assisted him. After this, he joins Pike and assists him in stealing weapons, and subsequently murdering 300 Grounder warriors sent by Lexa to protect him and the rest of Skaikru. After this, he assists in the massacre of a Trikru village in order to use their land for farming. He frequently blames Clarke for his actions, however, citing her leaving after Mt. Weather as the reason for this (even though this is not true).

Cece Cartwig

Kelly Hu

Portrayed by Kelly Hu, Callie "Cece" Cartwig (season 1)[5] is the best friend of Abigail Griffin as well as the Ark's communications officer. Callie is first seen talking to the people on The Ark about the 100 going down to Earth. She said that she can't confirm or deny anything at the moment. When Callie comes to know that Abigail Griffin is going to be executed she goes up to Marcus Kane to tell him that he is out of his mind and he can't kill everyone who disagrees with him. Callie says that Abigail is her friend leaving Kane to reply that he can't do anything to stop it. Kane and Callie share a close moment. She tries to implore him to give Abby amnesty, asking him to think of their own relationship. He answers by saying that no matter what he feels, he can't. When its time, Callie breaks into tears walking with Abigail to the place where she will be executed, embracing her and refusing to let go even at the behest of the guards. Abby asks that Callie watch out for her daughter before she dies. When the door is about to close Chancellor Thelonious Jaha demands the execution is stopped immediately. Callie is thrilled for Abigail, able to hold her friend again. Hu was dropped after the first episode for unknown reasons, with Jason Rothenberg saying her character was killed off-screen.

Monty Green

Portrayed by Christopher Larkin, Monty Green[5] is a smart and tech-savvy teenager who is a valuable asset to the teenagers on Earth due to his pharmaceutical and engineering knowledge. He and Jasper were arrested for making illegal substances. He is best friends with Jasper and is among the 48 held in Mount Weather, eventually escapes and reunites with his mother, he tries to help Jasper recover from the traumatic events in Mt. Weather, he eventually becomes part of Pike's cause and fully embraces it after his friend is killed by the grounders.

Jasper Jordan

Devon Bostick portrays the role of Jasper.

Portrayed by Devon Bostick, Jasper Jordan is a goofy and geeky chemist. He is Monty's best friend. After his capture and subsequent rescue from grounders, he becomes traumatized by his near-death experience which he struggles to overcome. Early in the series, he has a crush on Octavia, even saving her life during an animal attack, but she offers her friendship in return instead. He was one of the delinquents' camp's gunners and is among the 48 held in Mount Weather, and becomes an acting leader of his surviving people in Clarke's and Bellamy's absences. Jasper later becomes romantically involved with a Mount Weather resident, Maya who was later killed. In grief, Jasper becomes an alcoholic and he is disgusted that his own people would steal from Mt. Weather after the war with its inhabitants as well as hating Clarke. Monty and Octavia struggle to help Jasper to cope with his loss, but although Jasper was briefly tempted by the City of Light tablets, when he realised that they erased all good memories relating to painful topics, he refused to take one, even breaking Raven out of Camp Jaha and taking her to Clarke and other escapees for medical treatment to remove the chip.

Thelonious Jaha

Isaiah Washington portrays the role of Thelonious.

Portrayed by Isaiah Washington, Thelonious Jaha[5] is Wells' father and the former Chancellor of the Ark. Thelonious, along with Marcus, were best friends with Jake Griffin and his family. However, his and Marcus' friendship with the Griffins deteriorates after Jake's death and Clarke's subsequent arrest but he manages to maintain Abby's. He loses his power while on Earth as he clashes with Abby and Marcus over their views on the grounders in addition to the unconfirmed destination, the "City of Light". Along with Murphy, he leads a small group of his followers from Camp Jaha to find the city. Having discovered ALIE, the A.I. that controls the City of Light, Jaha has become essentially the leader of ALIE's cult, manipulating others into joining the City of Light to escape the pain of daily life, apparently unconcerned about the side-effects even when presented with clear evidence that the City of Light erases even good memories to spare the users from psychological pain, such as Jaha having lost all memory of his son.

Marcus Kane

Henry Ian Cusick portrays the role of Marcus.

Portrayed by Henry Ian Cusick, Marcus Kane[5] is one of the Councillors on the Ark. When Thelonious Jaha was Chancellor, he was second-in-command. He, along with Thelonious Jaha, were friends with Jake Griffin and his family, but his friendship with them did not last after Jake's execution and Clarke's subsequent arrest. Though he initially supports population culls to extend life on the Ark, when Earth is shown to be survivable, he is guilt-stricken and works for everyone to survive in hopes of making amends of his past misdeeds. This, in addition to his mother's influence and death, affect his later actions of seeking peaceful and compromising solutions when governing his people after arriving on Earth; in the process he gains allies who respect his new approaches, rebuilds his friendship with Jake's wife Abby Griffin, and earns the grounders commander Lexa's trust. He initially sides with Thelonious Jaha, but with the former Chancellor now appearing delusional, ruthless and possibly insane, Kane aligns himself with Abby, who becomes Jaha's successor.

Raven Reyes

Lindsey Morgan portrays the role of Raven.

Portrayed by Lindsey Morgan, Raven Reyes (recurring, season 1; regular, season 2–) is an ambitious zero-gravity mechanic when on board the Ark who isn't afraid of anyone or anything.

Brave and intelligent, Raven leads the camp in setting up communications and making bombs. She was childhood friends with Finn and was in a relationship with him until he fell in love with Clarke. It is revealed in season two, that Finn took the blame for Raven's crime because she was already over 18 and would be floated. She was the first zero G mech student under the age of 18 in 52 years. In season 3, with Abby's help, Raven begins recovering from the injuries she sustained from last season. She joins Jaha's cause after reluctantly taking a tablet given to her by him, she does begin to fight the side effects after Jasper reminds her about Finn, she is soon saved by Clarke and free of ALIE's control.

He later is drugged to become a reaper, but with Clarke's and Abby's assistance, withdraws from the drug. Having been viewed as a traitor by some of his people, Lincoln resides in Camp Jaha with Octavia. He is shot by Pike after surrendering to save his fellow grounders from execution.

John Murphy

Richard Harmon portrays the role of Murphy.

Portrayed by Richard Harmon, John Murphy (recurring, season 1–2; regular, season 3) starts out as one of Bellamy's men and is generally disliked by the group due to his reputation of being a troublemaker and career criminal, making him one of the few members to actually have committed actual felons and not petty misdemeanors. After being wrongfully accused by Clarke and nearly lynched, he tries to kill Charlotte. As a result of her death, he is banished from the camp. He later returns, surviving being tortured by the grounders. He seems to have forgiven the 100, but he kills two and attempts to hang Bellamy. In season two, he helps the 100 as they search for their lost members, even saving Bellamy's life when he could have let him drop. As he is still disliked in Camp Jaha, he accompanies Thelonious to find the City of Light. He eventually finds a lighthouse where he is trapped by Jaha and ALIE after watching something that horrifies him. He later leaves the Island after not wanting to be a part of Jaha's insane missions, and gets a boat ride from Emori. After Emori transports him and Jaha across the sea, he refuses to take the key and flees with Emori. They start robbing people in the Commander's Forrest and he is eventually captured by Grounder warriors and brought to Polis after one of the captors discovers a chip in his pocket which has the "Sacred Symbol of the Commander" which is an infinity symbol. He is tortured for information by Titus and eventually tells him what he knows. Later on Titus tries to murder him and frame Clark but accidentally shoots and kills Lexa. After she dies he witnesses Titus remove the chip. After Titus gives Clarke the chip and commits suicide, Ontari makes him the new "Flamekeeper" since he is the only other person to have witnessed it being removed from another person. Ontari takes a liking to him and sleeps with her, he reunites with Emori who is under ALIE's control & tells him that she's been having sex with him in front of Ontari.
