Riley

Riley is a minor character in the fourth season. He is portrayed by actor Ben Sullivan and debuts in Heavy Lies the Crown.

Early Life
Riley was born on the Ark. He is shown to have known Clarke and Bryan before Heavy Lies the Crown.

Throughout the Series
When the Ark was brought down to Earth, Riley was in Farm Station which landed in Azgeda territory. Sometime during the conflict with the Ice Nation in the following months he was captured and forced into slavery, with the rest of his people believing he was dead.

In Heavy Lies the Crown, Riley is first seen shackled and working with other slaves in the wreckage of Farm Station which has been taken over by Azgeda. He has clearly been beaten and is malnourished. When a group of Sky People led by Bellamy come to Farm Station for a water maker machine, Riley is recognised by Bryan who tries to talk to him. The Ice Nation overseer, Tybe, intervenes however, saying the Sky People can only take the machine they came for. Riley stays quiet, clearly afraid to get punished.

When Bellamy's group are preparing to move the machine and debating their options, Riley is seen working, apparently making arrows. He watches sorrowfully as Bellamy's group leave, but doesn't have long to wait before they detonate the hydrazine in the water maker and come back to free the slaves. After Miller and Bellamy overpower Tybe, Monty frees the slaves, who with Riley, proceed to beat Tybe to death.

Riley rides in the transport truck back to Arkadia which he gazes at in awe, before embracing Clarke. He is then taken to the med bay to recover from his ordeal.

In 'A Lie Guarded', it is said that he was once training to be a guard on The Ark. It is also shown that he is not on the list of 100 people.
