Maybe, pretty much anything that isn't explicitly stated can be regarded as such, we make an extensive use of that here e.g. relationship pages (btw some of the previous points have been added from actors interviews and our wiki). I think those are at useful for discussion and to get the character "right" (I make mental list for everyone, especially those I don't like)

Anyway, here is one on-screen interpretation of Bellamy character. The video has is a bit of a rough start, long and with rough voice-over, But it is pretty much worth it. Also for the above:


 * At six, being charged with a newborn while your mother is passed out after secret childbirth, isn't very normal even by Ark standard. Neither is growing up with a secret sister that can leave your room, and no one is allowed to know about.
 * We know that his mother drilled into him the consequences of discovery of this life&death secret he was entrusted with. And we know it deeply effected him, because 17+ years later we see him repeat the same words that were hammared into him from childhood.
 * We know that everything on the Ark was rationed, starting with food. That Bellamy mother traded favor to get by, such as learning of inspection ahead of time. We don't know what favors those were, maybe she was just sawing the old geezer shirts in his private quarters, but the way he grabbed her ass in-front of everyone and Bellamy expression was very suggestive.
 * We know that Bellamy asked for any of that, no more than his sister did. Neither had a real future on the ARk, his mother turned him into 'his sister keeper', but it was just a matter of time.. even if he spent his whole adult life chanting "my sister my responsibility" and taking care of an adult woman under his mother and later his floor, it could only end up one way.
