Nathan Miller

Nathan Miller, also known as Miller, is a recurring character in the first, second, and third seasons. He is played by cast member Jarod Joseph and debuts in "Contents Under Pressure".

Miller is part of the original 100. Because of his crime, Miller is considered "expendable" and is chosen as one of the 100 Delinquents sent down to Earth to see if it is survivable.

While on earth, Miller is one of Bellamy Blake's most trusted Gunners, serving as his lieutenant. Throughout Season Two, he develops a friendship with Monty Green and Harper and uneasy relationships with Jasper Jordan and Maya as they team up to find a way out of Mount Weather. In the season two finale, he is reunited with his father David Miller, who was chief guard of Alpha Station, and in season three, he is reunited with his boyfriend from Farm Station, Bryan.

Early life
Not much is known about Miller before being sent to the ground. Monty states in "Long Into an Abyss" that he lived in Alpha Station on the Ark, and sometime while living on the Ark, Miller was arrested and sent to juvenile lockup for thievery. It is also revealed his father was Chief Guard of their station though not much is known about their relationship but that David cares about and is concerned for Miller.

It is also revealed in season three that Miller has a boyfriend named Bryan whom he has known since his time on the Ark, but are separated once Miller is locked up and the 100 sent to the ground. The two reunite off-screen, sometime within the week between Wanheda (Part 2) and Ye Who Enter Here.

Throughout the Series

 * -|Season One =


 * -|Season Two =

In Wanheda (Part 1), Miller walks up to Bellamy while he is choosing people to come along for his mapping mission. Bellamy tosses Miller a gun and allows him to come. While driving, Miller joins in the sing-a-long of Add It Up, but the fun is cut short when the group receives a signal from Farm Station, which Miller's boyfriend is from. The gang realizes that Farm Station is in Ice Nation territory, but Miller insists they go. Miller and the others reach the border of Ice Nation in Sector 8. He steps outside with the others to greet the three Ice Nation warriors that arrive. Jasper grabs the beacon off of one of the warriors, laughs about it, and in turn, the warrior slits Jasper's throat. Miller, along with the rest of his friends, shoot and kill the three warriors. Miller manages to make it back to Arkadia with the others unharmed.
 * -|Season Three =

In Watch the Thrones, Miller is seen with his boyfriend, Bryan, attending the memorial for those from Farm Station that were killed at Mount Weather. He comforts Bryan as he grieves, and even encourages him to go forth and speak for one of the deceased.

In Hakeldama, Miller approaches the cell holding the Grounders, coming face to face with Lincoln. He tells the other guards to be careful because "this one doesn't like to be chained up". He then says to Lincoln that Octavia is not here to free him this time. But it is all an act. Miller opens an opening in the door and slips through a small bottle. Checking to see if the other guard is looking, Miller whispers to Lincoln that it is from Abby for Danae, a sick Grounder in the cell. He then informs Lincoln that Octavia got out with Clarke.

In Bitter Harvest, Miller brings Octavia a horse. He then questions her about what she plans to do because asking the Grounders to leave doesn't seem realistic. He adds that if the Grounders don't leave, they will be leading their people into an ambush. He suggest her to talk to Bellamy but then realizes that they don't have another choice because if they don't stop the attack on the village, it'll be war and more dead friends.

Back in Arkadia, Miller is greeted by Bryan who was worried about his whereabouts. He lies to him, telling him that he lost a horse while he actually gave it to Octavia. He continues by telling how he wished Bryan didn't have to go on the mission to wipe out the village. Before leaving, Miller tells Bryan to be careful and they hug. As he watches Rover leave, Miller nods to Kane.

In Terms and Conditions, he is seen spying on Pike's meeting along with Kane and Harper. He also worries about Octavia who hasn't report back to them for a while.

Later that day, Bryan enters their quarters just as Miller is getting reading to leave for work. They speak about not seeing each other often due to having opposite shifts, with Bryan working days and Miller working nights. The conversation switches to Pike's politics, which is a sensitive topic, since Bryan stands behind their Chancellor while Miller supports Kane. Bryan helps Miller put his jacket on and they kiss goodbye before Miller leaves for work.

Because Bryan bugged Miller's jacket, Monty overhears a conversation between him and Harper, proving that they are both working with Kane against Pike. At the end of the day, Miller, Bryan and Harper sit around a camp fire and he and Harper exchange glances. Bellamy and Monty decide to not give up his name when questioned if they found other traitors.

Personality
Although initially a background character, Miller appears to be loyal to Bellamy, complying to his commands and listening to him. He's disdainful of the Grounders and for much of his appearances in season one, he is shown on look out for any trespassers. Bellamy notes in "Day Trip" that the other Delinquents listen to him, implying that he has some leadership abilities.

Later, inside Mount Weather, he is shown to be very outspoken and quick-witted, unafraid to speak his mind and bluntly shares his opinions. During this time, he steps up from his previous minor role in the series and, albeit with some reluctance, works together with Monty, Jasper, Harper and Maya to find an exit and reunite with the Ark survivors.

In Season Three, Miller appears to be a loving boyfriend with Bryan. Despite working behind his back and lying to him, he still worries about him deeply and wouldn't want him to get hurt.

Miller is an African American male with dark brown eyes and a shaven head. He has an average build is often seen throughout the entirety of season one in his signature black beanie.
