Marcus Kane

Marcus Kane is one of the male protagonists of The 100. He was a major antagonist in the beginning of Season One. He is the son of Vera Kane and an unnamed man. Kane may have been in a relationship with Callie Cartwig. In the latter part of Season One, he begins a friendship with Chancellor Jaha. He has also become friends with former enemy Abigail Griffin. Kane is a Councilman on The Ark. He may also be part of the Guard.

Kane and the council vote to send 100 juvenile Delinquents down to Earth to see if it can support life. Each Delinquent is chosen because of their crime and is considered to be "expendable".

Kane doesn't believe Abby's plan will work. When delinquents "die", Kane begins to push for a culling to buy more time for the rest of The Ark. Eventually the council votes to proceed with the culling.

During the culling Kane begins to support Abby, mentioning that he has guards stationed to radio him the moment they hear anything from Raven Reyes whom Abby sent to Earth to find the 100.

Kane's guilt grows once Raven Reyes does make contact with The Ark and informs them the 100 are alive. After that he begins to seek redemption for his actions.

Kane survives the Unity Day bombing and Diana Sydney's uprising. When the air is turned back on, he rallies the people and begins a rescue mission to save Chancellor Jaha, defying Chancellor Jaha's orders. After he succeeds he learn that there may be someone(s) in the service bay. Kane risks his life to save the survivors. Among them he finds Abby.

When Chancellor Jaha comes up with a plan that will literally bring The Ark to the ground, Kane is shown in Mecha Station along with Abby, and Sinclair. When the rockets don't fire, Kane offers to stay behind and fire them. However, Chancellor Jaha sacrifices himself instead. Mecha Station survives reentry.

Kane is alive and on the ground searching for more survivors of The Ark and the kids.
