context_section_description: Portrayed by Henry Ian Cusick, Marcus Kane is one of the Councillors on the Ark. When Thelonious Jaha was Chancellor, he was second-in-command. He, along with Jaha, were friends with Jake Griffin and his family, but his friendship with them did not last after Jake's execution and Clarke's subsequent arrest. Though he initially supports population culls to extend life on the Ark, when Earth is shown to be survivable, he is guilt-stricken and works with everyone to survive in hopes of making amends of his past misdeeds. This, in addition to his mother's influence and death, affect his later actions of seeking peaceful and compromising solutions when governing his people after arriving on Earth. In the process, he gains allies who respect his new approaches, rebuilds his friendship with Jake's wife Abby Griffin, and earns the Grounders commander Lexa's trust. Kane aligns himself with Abby, who becomes Jaha's successor. In the fifth season, six years after Praimfaya he takes the fall for Abby's crime and proceeds to fight in gladiator battles but refuses once Octavia shows signs of being a dictator. After being severely injured in the fifth-season finale, he is put into stasis and remains there in the sixth season after a failed attempt to save his life. Kane's mind is eventually transferred into the body of a young man named Gavin to save his life, erasing Gavin's mind in the process. In "What You Take With You", Kane decides to commit suicide rather than continuing to live in someone else's body. After awakening Indra and leading a coup against the Primes on Eligius IV, Kane says a final goodbye to Abby before having Indra blow him out of an airlock along with the new Nightblood serum. In "Adjustment Protocol", when Abby is mind-wiped to become the new host of Simone Lightbourne, she remembers Kane in her last moments alongside her daughter and deceased husband.
