Sky People/Council

'''

The Council is the governing institution that made executive decisions for the Ark and now Camp Jaha. It is headed by the Chancellor.

Below the Council are the general Officers who make up the Ark's bureaucracy and The Guard who maintain security and law enforcement.

History
After decades aboard the Ark, the Council still makes decisions for the public. Traditionally, each Council member is appointed by the Chancellor. Those who are on the Council are acknowledged as leaders and often possess classified information. Information from the Council is disseminated to the rest of the Sky People via "Station Representatives."

Chancellors
While Diana Sydney was Chancellor, she worked on Project Exodus, which was the plan for the eventual return of the Sky People to earth via Exodus ships. There was also an Exodus Charter containing new laws to govern the Sky People once they were back on the ground.

Thelonious Jaha was the last Chancellor aboard The Ark. He passed along the Chancellorship to Marcus Kane and remained on the Ark while the rest of the Sky People returned to earth, eventually returning to earth himself.

Under Marcus Kane's Chancellorship, he established Camp Jaha and began enforcing the rules set forth in the Exodus Charter. Abigail Griffin was punished under the Exodus Charter with 10 shock lashes after committing a felony (providing guns to the Delinquents). After less than a week in office, Kane resigned and gave Abby the Chancellor's pin.

Abigail Griffin is the current Chancellor. Under her leadership, a tentative peace with the Grounders was established and the war with Mount Weather was ended with the remaining Delinquents being brought back to Camp Jaha.
