Shiloh Lawson

Shiloh Lawson is a major character in the first, second, third, and fourth seasons. He is portrayed by cast member Thomas Brodie-Sangster. Shiloh was part of the 100, a group of juvenile delinquents from the Ark who were sent to Earth.

## Origin

Born to the chefs of the ark Shiloh Lawson made his living stealing food rations selling them in the black market trading system that was going on in the ark. Since his parents both worked in the kitchens he had easy access to their key cards which granted him entrance into the kitchen after hours.

When Shiloh inevitably got caught on security cameras at the ripe age of sixteen, his life had changed and not for the better. Shiloh was no longer granted the comforts of his home and was thrown into a prison cell along with the other teenagers that had been reprimanded for their crimes on the ark.

Spending a lot of time in a cell Shiloh still never grew comfortable with the fact that one day he may die without having done anything important in his life, It oftentimes kept him up at night. He wanted to be someone, do something extraordinary but now that he was in prison he thought he would never get that chance.

When he was given the chance to go down to earth to help save the people on the arc he jumped on the chance readily, never one to shy from risk. Especially if it was for the greater good. as soon as he stepped on the ground Shiloh knew it was where he belonged, somewhere he would truly make a difference.

When the grounders started to attack Shiloh was not afraid to share his views of how against them he was. it was simple, he didn’t trust them and he probably never would. Shiloh would do anything to protect the camp from the grounders, including die for them. Once Shiloh has made his mind up about something it’s very hard to convince him to change his mind and that sticks true all the way until after they get rid of the grounder problem and he thinks they’re no longer a problem anymore.

## Current Happenings

**Season One -**

Shiloh Lawson is introduced in the pilot as a member of the 100 delinquents that had been sent down to earth with the drop ship. After settling into the ground, Shiloh was given the job as a guard of the 100 camp. Stationed at the front gate, he would check in with the groups that exited and entered the camp on a daily basis. It was there he met Leo Reznor. All while doing his job, Shiloh had been stealing food and supplies from the camp on a daily basis. He is able to get away with this for a few days until Scout Farrow realizes what’s going on. With a loud exclamation, Scout asks what he is doing, although it's quite obvious he responds with, "Replenishing the stock." To the surprise of no one, Scout didn't believe him and went to report him to Jaxon Caldwell. With his charm Shiloh is quickly able to convince her not to tell Jaxon right away, giving him a day to get his affairs in order. Later that night, Shiloh sneaks into her tent and attempts to strangle her, Scout is quickly awoken by his hands wrapped around her neck and reaches for the nearest thing and smashes it against the side of the head causing him to become disorientated and lose his grip on her throat. Scout lets out a scream that signals the other campers to her tent. Shiloh, still trying to kill her, lunges for her again is but is stopped by Leo, who pulls him off of her and brings him to the center of the camp. He is held in custody under close watch while they wait for Jaxon to come out and decide his punishment. After many hours, it decided that Shiloh is to be exiled from the camp, sent away with nothing but his knife to protect him and the words "You're not the man I thought you were.

Shiloh stays away from the camp a few weeks, living on his own until he gets word of grounders attacking “skaikru.” It's then that Shiloh decides to make his return to the 100 camp, hoping they don't kill him on sight. As he arrives at the gate, he's met with fierce opposition to his presence, everyone shocked that he would dare return after his exile. Shiloh asks to speak with Jaxon, promising he's only there to help the camp in the oncoming war with the grounders. Shiloh speaks with Jaxon and tells him what he’s heard, making promises that he only wants to help the camp. He pleads that he's changed during his few months in the woods. Shiloh tells Jaxon that he has learnt useful information about the grounders during his time in the woods. Jaxon agrees to let him back into the base,but warns him that he’ll be under close watch.

Shiloh gladly takes part in the war with the grounders, eager for some action after being on his own for months. He resents anything that will threaten his place with the 100, and the grounders pose as the largest threat to his security. Even after their first battle, Shiloh was thirsty for more. So, when Leo and Nicholas Barnes come back to the drop ship calling for peace, Shiloh leads the opposition against them, even going as far as to challenge their loyalty to the 100.
