Marcus Kane

Personality:   Kane is a tall man in his forties with wavy dark brown hair and eyes, and tan skin. He appears to have an authoritative presence. Kane is an pragmatic individual, At the beginning of the series, Kane is a pragmatic individual, cold and willing to do whatever he deems necessary to "save the human race". Rather than seeing himself as overly dedicated or mean, he saw others as lacking what it takes to do what needs to be done. He cared little for the lives of individuals, only for the survival of the human race as a whole. After the Culling of Section 17, however, Kane is filled with regret and remorse over his actions as he learns that humanity had actually survived on the ground and that he could have prevented those deaths if he waited just a day or two. This personality change would gradually develop over the course of the next season and a half. Marcus becomes very selfless and willing to sacrifice himself. He stands up and begins to offer to leave himself behind on the Ark to allow the remaining humans to make it to Earth in We Are Grounders (Part 2), though Thelonious Jaha is already launching the ship before Marcus can do that. In Fog of War, when Jaha and Marcus are informed they must kill the other to stop the bloodshed, Marcus never considers hurting Jaha to be an option. When Thelonious refuses to kill Marcus, Kane slits his own wrists with the knife. While he is extremely dutiful and obedient he learns from Thelonious that on special occasions the Chancellor must know when not to follow the rules and laws but break them and doing what he thinks is best. Kane takes this lesson at heart and a few days later he disobeys Jaha's direct order to abandon him and instead he stays and clears the rubble, saving his Chancellor and friend. Later on he would do the same by leading the resistance against Chancellor Pike. Though he is no longer "cold", Kane often thinks logically rather than emotionally; one example is that he attempted to betray the Azgeda in order to ally with the Trikru and save his people in the process. What he believes is right is, more often than not, helpful for more people, such as his suggestion to turn in Finn to the Grounders and establish safety for the remaining Arkadians, though he is written off as unfeeling for his objective approach. He often shows regret and remorse whenever he is compelled to make a sacrifice for the greater good of his people. Kane's philosophy is to sacrifice the few to save the many but he does not believe the cause always justifies the means.[8] Especially when one loses their humanity in order to achieve their goal, no matter how noble this goal is.[9] After six years in the Second Dawn Bunker, Kane's personality has changed, after suffering from a post-traumatic stress from the events of the bunker, due to Octavia's actions. This causes him to fear Octavia and defect to the Eligius Prisoners to work for them, even betraying Spacekru, to help give the battle plans to McCreary, in order to prevent Octavia from controlling Shallow Valley. Kane has shown signs of PTSD, due to the alterations in how he thinks and feels when, after being attacked by Vinson, a wounded Kane reveals to Abby that he knows that that she was responsible for the "Dark Year" and Octavia's dark nature as he both forgives Abby and blame Octavia for the death of three people in the bunker, and on Eligius IV, he blames Octavia for the massacre in the gorge, even though Kane was truly responsible for it.
