Tristan

Tristan is a recurring character in the first and second seasons of The 100. He is a general in The Woods Clan.

Tristan is portrayed by Joseph Gatt and debuts in the twelfth episode of Season One.

Throughout the Series
In We Are Grounders (Part 1), Tristan and his Rangers track down Anya and her unit. When Tristan finds her, he tells Anya that her left flank is vulnerable. Anya declares that she has her people in the trees ready to kill hostiles and asks if Tristan is hostile. Tristan tells her the Commander sent him to complete what Anya has failed to do (get rid of the Delinquents) and her unit is now his. Just then, a signal fire is spotted in the distance, announcing Reapers and Tristan tells Anya to take care of Clarke.

Later, Tristan and Anya go after Lincoln, Clarke, and Finn, chasing them to the Reaper tunnels. Anya shoots arrows into the tunnel and wishes to chase after them, however, Tristan tells her to let them go because they know where they're going if the mines don't kill them first.

In We Are Grounders (Part 2), Tristan has Murphy tied to a tree while he listens in on the Delinquents' radio. He hears about the minefield and stabs Murphy in the leg for not telling him about it. Later, he watches with Anya as The Ark comes down to earth. Tristan sees it as reinforcements, but he states they wont arrive to the camp in time.

Suddenly, a band of Reapers show up chasing after Lincoln and Finn. Tristan and his Rangers attack the Reapers and succeed in killing them before they refocus their attack back on The Camp. Once Tristan and the Grounders break through the Camp's gate, Tristan mows down several Delinquents before Bellamy goes after him. Bellamy's gun has no bullets and Bellamy is forced into hand-to-hand combat with Tristan easily overpowering him. Finn jumps into the fight and also gets knocked down. Bellamy tackles Tristan away from Finn just as Clarke closes the drop ship door on them, leaving their fate unknown.

In The 48, Bellamy explains to Monroe and Sterling that they knew the fire was coming so he and Finn ran but were separated. They see Finn and another Delinquent being dragged along by Tristan. Tristan stops because the Delinquent can't walk so Tristan kills him, saying 300 of his people died but he leaves Finn alive to talk to the Commander.

Later, Bellamy jumps out and attacks Tristan. However, he misses with his spear throw and Tristan easily defeats him and ties him up with Finn. Sterling and Monroe then come charging Tristan and he readies himself to fight them but is shot dead from behind by Marcus Kane.

Personality
Tristan was a cold soldier working for the Commander. He was very loyal to the Commander and was sent to fix all of Anya's "mistakes" concerning the Delinquents. Tristan seems to not like Anya and critiques her decisions harshly. Because they are part of the same clan, they are allies.

Physical Appearance
Tristan had a dark complexion, dark brown eyes, and is bald. He stands at approximately 6' 1" (1.85 m). Tristan had a lean, muscular build.
