Bellamy Blake

Bellamy Blake is a major character in the first and second seasons of The 100. He's portrayed by starring cast member Bob Morley, and debuts in the series premiere.

Bellamy is co-leader of the 100, alongside Clarke. He is not part of the original 100, and posed as a guard to sneak onto the dropship, so he could be with his little sister, Octavia.

At first, Bellamy led the 100 by himself, but he quickly accepted Clarke as a co-leader after the deaths of Wells and Charlotte. He has aided the 100 in staying alive, and facing problems inside and outside of the camp. Despite the fact that he's a good leader, Bellamy struggles with himself and others.

As a leader, Bellamy is willing to make difficult decisions to ensure the survival of his people, especially with the threat that the Grounders pose.

Early Life
It's revealed in a flashback that Bellamy watched his mother give birth to Octavia and even helped keep her quiet after the birth. He had learned about the Roman emperor, Augustus and named his sister after the emperor's sister, Octavia. Bellamy has a strong sense of responsibility for his sister. He loves her very much and promises to keep her safe, no matter what may happen.

During a flashback, it's revealed that his mother was a seamstress and sleeping with a guardsman in order to keep ahead of the surprise inspections. She gets Bellamy a spot on the guard, and he begins training as a cadet.

One day, Bellamy is able to get guard duty during the masquerade party. He promises his sister Octavia that he'll keep her safe and deliver her home before their mother even knows they're gone. Ultimately, this plan fails and Octavia is discovered. Bellamy suddenly loses his sister, his mother, and his chance to be a guard and becomes a janitor. Bellamy harbors a deep resentment for the council due to their decision to float his mother. The man who ratted out his sister's existence, Commander Shumway, says Bellamy can go to Earth and protect Octavia, but only if he shoots and kills the Chancellor. Bellamy accepts the deal and stows away on the dropship.

Physical Appearance
Bellamy has thick dark brown hair and brown eyes. He has a light dusting of freckles (which seemed to be a bit bolder when he was young), along with olive skin, and appears to be in his late teens or early twenties. He has a lean, muscular build and appears to be physically strong. He is considered physically attractive. HE IS SOO GOOD LOOKING ITs LIKE HE WAS CARVED BY ANGELS!!

Personality
Bellamy takes charge of the group as soon as they reach Earth. He has been protective of his little sister Octavia Blake since childhood and he wants the best for her. He's rather secretive when it comes to how he got on the dropship; although this information is revealed in Twilight's Last Gleaming and His Sister's Keeper. It is also made known that he fears death, due to his crimes committed on the Ark. He speaks his mind and can be aggressive towards others, going as far as to torture Lincoln for information in Contents Under Pressure. Although he can be aggressive, he has a softer side as well, but has a difficult time expressing it (as shown in the episode Earth Kills).

Relationships

 * -|Aurora Blake =

Aurora Blake
Aurora was Bellamy's mother. Bellamy seemed to have a very close relationship with his mother when he was young. On occasion Aurora would have Bellamy recite why he could never tell anybody about his mother's second pregnancy. Bellamy was present when his mother gave birth to her second child and was allowed to name his sister. As Bellamy grew older, his relationship with his mother became strained. This may have been due to her prostitution, which Bellamy often voiced his disapproval of. Twenty two years after his birth, his mother was floated when Octavia was discovered. Aurora's death greatly affected Bellamy. While on Earth, Bellamy blamed Octavia for Aurora's death. It was later mentioned that Bellamy didn't mean it.


 * -|Octavia Blake =

Octavia Blake
Octavia is Bellamy's younger sister and the two have a mixed relationship. In Pilot, Bellamy goes down to Earth with Octavia to protect her. In Earth Skills, he tells her to remain at camp as they search for Jasper and orders that nobody touch her. Atom does and Bellamy punishes him by hanging him on a tree. Octavia scolds Bellamy for this. In Earth Kills, Bellamy lets her stay at camp and when Murphy calls her psychotic, he gets angry with him. In Murphy's Law, Bellamy is confronted by Clarke, Finn and Raven due to his poor decisions, in Twilight's Last Gleaming Clarke yells at Bellamy and says he only does what he does for his sister. In His Sister's Keeper, Bellamy forms a search party to look for Octavia after she is declared missing and when he finds her, embraces her. However, she yells at him for being controlling and blames him for the death of his mother, Aurora. By Contents Under Pressure, the two have started to become almost enemies, especially after Bellamy tortures Lincoln, the Grounder who saved Octavia in His Sister's Keeper. In Day Trip Bellamy left the camp with Clarke and meditates not to return but is convinced by her and comes back. He then tries to patch up with his sister by putting a blanket over her shoulders and telling her that he's not going anywhere. In Unity Day Bellamy discovers the relationship between Octavia and Lincoln and is annoyed by it. In I Am Become Death, Bellamy worries about the disease that could infect his sister; during the episode Octavia takes care of him when he falls ill and tells him that nothing bad is going to happen to him, and stays with him the whole night. In We are Grounders (Part 1) Octavia's very concerned about Bellamy when he proposes to Murphy to exchange him for Jasper; Bellamy is forced to hang himself but Octavia and others manage to save him in time. In We are Grounders (Part 2), Octavia disappears during the battle but shows up to save the life of her brother; unfortunately she's hit by an arrow and Bellamy nods to Lincoln to take her away with him and heal her. He tells her that his life hadn't started before she was born and the two siblings share an hug and a promise to meet again. The two meet again in Many Happy Returns and hug happily. In Fog of War Bellamy helps Octavia bring Lincoln back to the dropship and in Long into an Abyss Bellamy consoled his sister when she thought that Lincoln died.


 * -|Clarke Griffin =

Clarke Griffin
Clarke and Bellamy tend to clash often; both of them have different ideas on how the Delinquents should be led. However, it seems that the two are developing a mutual respect for each other, even as they continue to be at odds with one another. Clarke is able to communicate with Bellamy most of the time, and can sometimes bring out a better side of him. Bellamy respects Clarke, and as the two leaders, they understand each other more than the other Delinquents, as displayed in Contents Under Pressure. He respects her opinion too, asking for permission before torturing Lincoln. Despite the fact that they disagree most of the time, they respect each other's opinions, and there may be a mutual love interest between the two. As of Day Trip Bellamy and Clarke start becoming friends, especially after they save each other's lives. Clarke also tells Bellamy that the main reason why the group has survived is because of him, and he can't abandon them for fear of Chancellor Jaha and the Ark's wrath, and so she speaks in Bellamy's favour during his talk with Jaha.

As time passes, the two grow close to each other as they respect and rely on each other's decisions. In the finale, when Clarke decides that the camp should evacuate; Bellamy reluctantly agrees which would have been an impossible act at the beginning of Season 1. However, due to events they return back to camp and fight off the grounders. When Bellamy is face to face with Christian; Clarke is utterly distraught as she fears for Bellamy's life. After Clarke closes the hanger door and launches the dropship, she presumes that Bellamy is dead by the ring of fire and is attacked with grief and sorrow.

In Mount Weather, Clarke constantly tries to unveil the hidden secrets. It is evident that she is a strong leader and is still willing to lead her people in the right direction. Although Bellamy and Clarke are separated for the first 4 episodes, many parallels are seen between the two. Their influence on each other is evident, in their mutual loyalty to their people and Bellamy's reluctance to kill a Grounder accused of killing withholding information on Clarke's whereabouts. The two are reunited back at Camp Jaha in Human Trials. Clarke, hearing about his return from Abby, runs up to him and captures him in a hug. Bellamy hesitates momentarily, in disbelief that she's at the camp, before he hugs her back fiercely. When they set out once more to find Finn and Murphy, Bellamy gazes at a sleeping Clarke and tells her that he understands why she had to close the dropship door on him once she wakes up. The two are seen exchanging small smiles over the fire. After discovering that Mount Weather has transformed Lincoln into a Reaper in Fog of War, Bellamy asks for Clarke's help in changing him back. Bellamy steps in to defend Clarke when Lincoln becomes aggressive.

After Finn kills 18 Grounders while in pursuit of finding Clarke, Bellamy and Clarke's plan of keeping Finn out of the Grounders arms fail when Finn gives himself up out of guilt. After Clarke kills him out of mercy, not wanting him to suffer the torture ritual they planned to execute, Bellamy expresses concern for her well-being. Bellamy suggests a risky mission of sending him into Mount Weather to rescue their trapped friends, but Clarke quickly shoots down the plan. When Bellamy asks why, Clarke admits that she "can't lose him too." This confession impacts him enough into silence. Bellamy shows his protective side when a meeting with the Grounders reveals that Clarke's drink had been poisoned, along with Lexa's. He knocks the drink out of her hands and steps in front of her to shield Clarke from Gustus's anger. When later reflecting on how he knew it had been Gustus who had poisoned the drinks in Remember Me, Bellamy states that Gustus would "do anything for [Lexa]" and that it "just makes sense". This is a parallel between his relationship and loyalty to Clarke to Gustus's with Lexa. Clarke then interrupts, agreeing with Bellamy's earlier plan that someone should enter Mount Weather. Bellamy asks why she's sending him to do the mission now when she didn't want him to put himself in danger before. Clarke explains that she was being weak. This noticeably affects Bellamy and hurts him. Clarke later restates Lexa's advice that love is weakness to Abby, indicating that her sudden change of heart has to do with not wanting to appear vulnerable. Later in Coup de Grâce Bellamy with Maya's help finds a way to communicate with Clarke through the radio previously set up by Monty, there Clarke states her faith in him by saying "You came though, I knew you would." Bellamy's skeptical face reveals that he is still hurt by what she said in Remember Me. In Rubicon Bellamy finds out that Clarke lied to him about the whereabouts of Octavia, it is still not sure how he will react once it is revealed to him what happened in Tondc.

Atom
Atom and Bellamy have a relationship that is similar to a soldier and general, with Atom taking commands and obeying Bellamy.

He is unable to kill his friend, and Clarke has to eventually euthanize Atom in order to end his pain.


 * -|John Murphy =

John Murphy
In spite of Murphy's abrasive personality, Bellamy befriends him soon after they arrive on Earth. Although Murphy seems keen on doing as he pleases, he holds a certain respect towards Bellamy and briefly takes a right-hand-man kind of stance around him. However, their relationship sours when Murphy is falsely accused of killing Wells; the fallout eventually resulting in Charlotte's death and Murphy's banishment from the group. When he returns, Bellamy is reluctant to let his stay, but ultimately gives him a second chance. Murphy however betrays him, causing their relationship to be even more strained. When Murphy returns in season 2, Bellamy is infuriated to see he has the guts to show his face. However as time goes on, Murphy managed to prove himself to Bellamy that he is willing to join the group again when he held onto the the rope for Bellamy when he climbed down to save Mel. Bellamy appears to trust him once again, so much that he even gave him a gun. In Spacewalker Bellamy protects him when Raven wants to exchange his life with Finn for the grounders.
