Ilian's death caused King Roan to banish Echo and Octavia to form a lasting grudge against her although the two women eventually reconcile. • Lola Flanery as Madi Griffin (season 4–7): A 12-year-old Nightblood who Clarke meets 58 days after Praimfaya. The two become friends and Clarke begins to look after her. She is in effect Clarke's adopted daughter and has accepted the Flame to become the new Commander. However, in season 6, she falls under the influence of the spirit of the Dark Commander, an evil and insane previous Commander who, in the past, has been held at bay by the spirits of the other Commanders. At the end of the season, Madi breaks free of his control, but Raven is forced to delete the Flame to save her life. However, the Dark Commander survives by uploading himself to Russell Lightbourne's Mind Drive. Despite this, Madi continues experiencing memories that Gaia thinks could be from one or all of the other Commanders. Clarke becomes concerned with allowing Madi to have a normal life now that the Flame is gone and effectively designates control over
Wonkru to Indra. Due to her memories from the Commanders, Madi becomes targeted by the Disciples. After undergoing Memory Capture to retrieve the code that the Disciples need, Madi suffers a massive and irreversible
stroke from the strain which destroys the parts of her brain controlling voluntary movement. As a result, while Madi's mind remains intact, she is effectively left trapped in her own body. Before Octavia can mercy kill her, Levitt discovers that Cadogan got the code he needed from her and the three are forced to leave Madi in M-Cap until they can stop Cadogan. When humanity achieves Transcendence, Madi resists until Clarke convinces her to go. Unlike the rest of Clarke's friends, Madi chooses not to return, knowing that Clarke won't be alone and wouldn't want Madi to come back to a place where Madi would have no one her own age to love. The Judge reassures Clarke that Madi is at peace and will never age or die in her current state. • Xavier De Guzman as Knight (season 7): A
Sangedakru (
Desert Clan) warrior who is disrespectful and challenging to his leaders. After learning of the Flame's destruction, Knight is enraged about the loss of ''Sheidheda's
consciousness and leads most of Wonkru
in abandoning the cause. Knight subsequently enjoys heckling Indra about it whenever he can. When Indra asserts herself as the new leader of Wonkru
, Knight openly challenges her right to lead and fights Indra who effortlessly defeats him. With Wonkru
now under her control, Indra places Knight in charge of getting their stolen guns back from the Eligius prisoners. Knight takes part in the rescue mission for the people held hostage by the prisoners and the Children of Gabriel, but learns of Sheidheda's
resurrection from Murphy in the process. Along with another Wonkru
guard, he immediately bows before the Dark Commander. Knight joins the Dark Commander, acting as his second-in-command. However, he visibly balks when Sheidheda
orders him to kill everyone, even children though Knight reluctantly agrees to follow his orders. Knight is left to guard the door to the reactor room and kill everyone once it opens and he enlists the aid of two Wonkru'' members to take it down with a battering ram. During a second Red Sun eclipse, Emori lowers Sanctum's shield, causing Sanctum's bugs to rush in and devour Knight and his fellow
Wonkru members before the Disciples arrive to drive off the bugs with torches.

Pre-Apocalypse characters •
Erica Cerra as A.L.I.E. / Becca Franko (season 2–7): • A.L.I.E.: The avatar of an artificial intelligence who guides Jaha and Murphy to the City of Light and is the main antagonist of the third season. A.L.I.E. is responsible for causing the nuclear apocalypse 97 years ago (revealed to be on May 10, 2052). A.L.I.E. had come to believe that the problem was "too many people" and initiated the apocalypse to solve this problem. She uses computer chips to take control of peoples' minds as well as tempt others into doing her bidding such as Jaha wanting to lead his people, Raven wanting to stop feeling pain, and Ontari wanting to know the knowledge of previous commanders. She also tends to physically and psychologically harm them if they disobey her. At the end of the third season, Clarke Griffin, protected by the A.L.I.E. 2.0 AI, confronts A.L.I.E. in the City of Light on a manifestation of the space station Polaris. A.L.I.E. reveals that her actions have been to save humanity from a coming second nuclear apocalypse caused by the meltdown of power plants across the world that survived the bombing. Though Clarke attempts to get A.L.I.E. to give people a choice instead of using force, her programing prevents it. Clarke destroys A.L.I.E. by activating her kill switch, but believes the AI's warnings about the coming disaster, later confirmed by Raven Reyes. A.L.I.E. appears briefly in flashbacks at the beginning of the fourth season when Becca makes an appearance in Raven's hallucinations. Its revealed that removing A.L.I.E.'s chip using an EMP left some of the AI's code behind in Raven and Abby's heads, leaving them both, Raven in particular, with detrimental health effects as well as increased intelligence. Raven eventually manages to purge herself of the last of A.L.I.E.'s code by in effect "rebooting" her brain with a temporary death. The removal of A.L.I.E.'s code ends the negative effects on Raven's health which had nearly killed her. In the sixth season, a manifestation of A.L.I.E. appears in Clarke's mind to explain that Clarke still has a part of the AI inside of her from when Clarke entered the City of Light. As a result, Clarke's mind was protected from erasure when Josephine Lightbourne's Mind Drive was implanted. The manifestation of A.L.I.E. helps Clarke to hide the knowledge of how to get rid of Clarke's consciousness permanently. • Becca Franko: Becca was a brilliant scientist who created the two AI's A.L.I.E. and A.L.I.E. 2.0. Another innovation of Becca was Nightblood which she created to allow humans to metabolize extreme levels of
radiation. However, Becca became concerned upon learning that A.L.I.E. thought the problem with humanity was "too many people" and locked the AI away which proved to be a grievous mistake. As Becca worked on A.L.I.E. 2.0 on her space station Polaris, A.L.I.E. escaped and began a nuclear holocaust that destroyed humanity. Despite this, Becca continued her work on A.L.I.E. 2.0 for another two years, believing the second AI to be humanity's best hope of survival. After the Polaris Commander demanded the destruction of A.L.I.E. 2.0, Becca fled Polaris in an escape pod as the station was destroyed. Having injected herself with Nightblood and A.L.I.E. 2.0, Becca became known as
Pramheda, or "First-commander" in Trigedasleng due to arriving on Earth in the spacesuit of the Polaris Commander. Becca passed on Nightblood to the people she met upon landing, but was eventually burned alive by the Second Dawn cultists with the AI, which eventually became known as the Flame, being passed down to future Commanders. Like all Commanders, Becca's spirit was preserved within the AI and was able to help guide her successors. Becca appears mainly in flashbacks and hallucinations in the third and fourth seasons. At the end of the third season, Becca's spirit appears to Clarke Griffin through the Flame to guide Clarke in shutting down A.L.I.E. once and for all. When Clarke tried to reason with A.L.I.E., Becca informed Clarke that the AI could not change her way of doing things as her programing didn't allow it and witnessed as Clarke activated A.L.I.E.'s kill switch. In the fourth season, her lab and Nightblood research become a vital part of the attempt to survive the coming death wave. According to Gaia, Becca is buried in the Second Dawn bunker. While Raven's condition is deteriorating due to a remnant of A.L.I.E.'s code in her head, she is haunted by hallucinations of Becca. These hallucinations end when Raven finally manages to find a way to purge the code. In the fifth season, after taking the Flame, Madi experiences a memory of Becca being burned alive by the Second Dawn doomsday cult. In the sixth season, Becca is revealed to have created the Mind Drives that allow the Primes of Sanctum to be reincarnated through various new hosts when they die, the Mind Drives being similar to the Flame but without the artificial intelligence. At the end of the sixth season, the state of her consciousness that was saved in the Flame is unknown as the Flame was deleted, but the Dark Commander at least was uploaded to Russell Lightbourne's Mind Drive. Madi continues to experience memories not her own which Gaia suggests could be from one or all of the other Commanders. In "The Garden", Becca appears again through a Memory Drive recording where she expresses envy for the
Eligius mission members and reveals that the planets are in close proximity to a
black hole, explaining the
time dilation experienced through the Anomaly and on Skyring. While discussing the planets, Becca expresses a preference for Skyring or Planet Beta over Russell Lightbourne's preference of Alpha. In "Anaconda", Becca is found by the Second Dawn after landing on Earth and uses the Flame to open the Anomaly to Bardo. However, she argues for using Nightblood to return to the surface rather than leaving the planet. Becca later discovers "the final code" which leads to Judgment Day and the end of the human race. After Becca refuses to give it up, Cadogan has her
burned at the stake in order to take the Flame for himself. However, Becca befriends Cadogan's daughter Callie and informs her of the Flame's power and how to use the AI which Becca believes is the key to saving the world in the right hands. Callie steals the Flame back from her brother and using Becca's Nightblood, leads a group back to the surface to save the remainder of the human race. They take with them enough Nightblood to save 2,000 more people when they are found, continuing Becca's work of saving the human race. In the series finale, Cadogan locates the code Becca used in her memories and starts a test to determine if humanity will Transcend or be annihilated. The Judge, taking the form of Callie, explains to Cadogan that Becca had refused to take the test when she was given the chance. • James Neate as Chris (season 2–3): One of the few scientists who helped create A.L.I.E. At the end of the second season, John Murphy finds a recording of Chris in the lighthouse bunker blaming himself for the nuclear apocalypse and A.L.I.E.'s actions before he commits suicide out of guilt. In a further video seen in the third season, his body is removed by two men who intend to use the bunker to survive, but apparently never make it back for some reason. In a flashback in the third season, Chris contacts Becca on Polaris to warn her that A.L.I.E. has escaped and is accessing nuclear launch codes. With Chris unable to stop A.L.I.E. and the nuclear apocalypse beginning, Becca orders him to the bunker for his own safety. •
Jordan Bolger as Miles Shaw (season 5–6): The pilot of
Eligius IV who is amongst those who have arrived on Earth. When the prisoners rose up against the rest of the ship's crew, Shaw aided them in their escape and rebellion and they thus spared his life. He has shown a greater willingness to negotiate with the survivors found on Earth as opposed to the convicts' willingness to kill as the first option, and he ultimately rebels against Diyoza and McCreary, allying with Echo's group to help
Wonkru win the war and developing a romance with Raven. He is killed by the radiation shield on Sanctum during the Red Sun eclipse.
Eligius Convicts •
Ivana Milicevic as Charmaine Diyoza (season 5–7): The ruthless leader of the
Eligius IV spaceship that arrives in the Shallow Valley six years after Praimfaya. She is a former
U.S. Navy SEAL Colonel-turned-terrorist who was arrested and cryogenically frozen for her crimes for most of the 100 years since the nuclear apocalypse that wiped out most of the population on Earth. She escaped captivity by murdering the original captain of the Eligius ship, and became the leader of the group of convicts aboard Eligius. She invades the Shallow Valley with her equally ruthless army and captures Clarke, but is coerced into freeing Clarke and rescuing Octavia and everyone in the bunker after being forced into a deal with Bellamy after Raven took control of
Eligius IV. Diyoza is revealed to be pregnant with McCreary's child, which is the only reason he spares her life after usurping leadership of the convicts. In the sixth season, she is exiled on Sanctum and works with Octavia who is also exiled. After being led to the mysterious Anomaly, Diyoza is drawn inside by a hallucination of her child, leaving her fate unknown. In the season finale, Diyoza's daughter Hope, now an adult despite only days passing, emerges from the Anomaly and states that "he" has her mother before stabbing Octavia who disappears with the Anomaly. In the seventh season, it's revealed that Diyoza was sent to another planet later named Skyring by Hope. There, she, Hope and Octavia form a family for ten years while Diyoza finds peace and only seconds pass on Sanctum [due to time dilation from a black hole]. They are later captured by the Disciples from Bardo. Hope tells Gabriel and Echo that "he" is Anders, the leader of the Disciples and that she had made a deal with Anders to save her mother's life after being captured while trying to save Diyoza after successfully rescuing Octavia. Diyoza eventually escapes and reunites with her daughter, but is recaptured when Gabriel refuses to take a chance on going to Bardo's poisonous surface. Diyoza later joins the Disciples and sacrifices herself to save her friends when Hope attempts to release the Gen-9 bioweapon which crystalizes Diyoza. •
Mike Dopud as Michael Vinson (season 5): An insane and cannibalistic
serial killer considered to be so dangerous that even the other Eligius prisoners leave Vinson's shock collar on to control him. Vinson himself states that he can't control his urge to kill and is known to keep his victims' hands and feet as trophies. In addition, Vinson is shown to brutally kill people by ripping their throats out with his teeth and then presumably consuming them afterwards. Vinson develops an obsessive infatuation with Doctor Abigail Griffin, getting her addicted to pills and thus dependent upon him. After Abby gets clean, Vinson attacks Marcus Kane, hoping that his death will drive Abby back into addiction and thus back to him. Enraged, Abby electrocutes Vinson to death using his shock collar. However, in the long run, Kane's injuries from Vinson's attack ultimately proves to be fatal. While he is only ever referred to by his last name, Vinson's full name is visible on an x-ray Abby gives him. •
William Miller as Paxton McCreary (season 5): A brutal serial killer who is amongst those who have arrived on Earth aboard
Eligius IV after being cryogenically frozen for over 100 years. As a result, he has little knowledge of what happened on Earth after the nuclear apocalypse. He secretly wishes to replace Diyoza as leader of the convicts, but his methods demonstrate a fundamental reliance on violence, favouring killing potential enemies as the first option. He eventually usurps Diyoza after a mass riot incited by John Murphy, but spares her life after learning that she is pregnant with his daughter. McCreary eventually forms tentative alliances with Clarke and Kane to win the war, though he intends to completely wipe out
Wonkru. After his army is defeated, McCreary launches the Damocles bomb which destroys the valley, the last habitable place on Earth, as an act of
scorched earth. As McCreary demands a retreat into space, Clarke activates Raven's shock collar and Raven transfers the shock to McCreary by grabbing him. As he is stunned by the electrocution, Clarke stomps McCreary's head in and kills him. However, McCreary's destruction of the valley proves to be too much for the Earth which fails to recover and is left completely uninhabitable even thirty years later. •
Chad Rook as Hatch (season 7): A
bank robber who is married to Nikki. According to Hatch, after a bank robbery gone wrong, the two murdered two cops and all of the hostages to get rid of witnesses. Unlike most of the prisoners, Hatch is depicted as having a much more friendly and accommodating attitude. As an impending
nuclear meltdown threatens the lives of everyone on Sanctum, Raven enlists the help of Hatch and three other Eligius prisoners to fix the cooling system in exchange for all of the Jo Juice they can drink per Hatch's request. However, the radiation levels prove to be greater than Raven expected and the prisoners fall victim one by one to
radiation poisoning. Unable to trust Hatch, Raven lies to him and sends Murphy, who is protected by Nightblood, to help Hatch finish the job. Hatch reveals that he already knows the truth and is continuing on for the sake of Nikki. With Murphy's help, Hatch manages to fix the cooling system at the last possible second before dying of radiation poisoning. The guilt-ridden Raven later suffers a hallucination of Hatch speaking to her from within a Disciple's armor. Throughout much of the remainder of the season, Nikki seeks revenge for his death, but after a speech from Murphy who had developed a great deal of respect for Hatch and actually confronting Raven, Nikki stands down. While helping Raven to rescue her friends, Nikki tells Raven that its what Hatch would've done. •

nuclear reactor. Suspected of stealing all of ''Wonkru's'' guns, Nikki makes a blatant threat against Raven's life and later leads an uprising to get revenge. However,
Wonkru crushes the uprising as Murphy attempts to talk Nikki down, appearing to almost succeed before they are interrupted. Nikki surrenders and is taken into custody. After
Sheidheda takes over, Nikki leads the prisoners in bowing down to the Dark Commander and locates the massacre survivors. She is taken captive by Murphy and Emori and is apparently talked down from trying to escape by Murphy using the memory of Hatch. She eventually escapes and takes Jeremiah hostage, but is subdued by Luca. Getting Raven alone later, Nikki holds a
box cutter to her throat and demands the truth. After Raven tearfully explains what happened, Nikki drops her weapon and leaves, deciding to leave Raven to live with what she did instead of killing her.
