.:Physical Appearance:. Charles Pike is of average height and a fairly muscular build. He has a bald head and a goatee style beard. During his early time on the ground, he dressed in Grounder-like attire, whether salvaged or made to mimic the style for camouflage among enemies. However, once he arrived at Arkadia, he resumed wearing the usual Arker style of clothing, including guard attire once he became chancellor.

.:Personality:. Pike is committed to the cause he believes in; the protection and survival of the Arkers. Resolute and determined toward this goal, he is difficult to dissuade, although he will occasionally listen to the differing opinions of those he trusts, at times accepting these. However, this is rare and once those views are proved wrong, he's unlikely to be swayed again.

.:Special Skills:. As an Earth Skills teacher on the Ark, Pike is well-versed in such skills with expertise in basic survival and tracking. Being from Farm Station also assists with this knowledge as well as that of sustainable living. A charismatic orator, he also has leadership skills and the ability to inspire other Arkers. His steadfast nature and personal experience of grounders mean that he views them all as a threat, reluctant to look past this and judge each grounder individually, instead refusing to trust them at all, even when tolerating them.

.:Birthplace:. The Ark - Farm Station
.:Family:. Unknown
.:Occupation:. Teacher/Chancellor
.:History:. 

Charles Pike was an Earth Skills teacher on the the Ark, teaching many of the Arkers during this time, including Bellamy Blake and Clarke Griffin. It was requested that he teach a more intensive crash-course to the 100 delinquents before they were sent down to Earth in a dropship. Although he pleaded with Jaha to either let him tell them of their imminent journey to the ground, or that he be allowed to go with them, both requests were denied. Instead he used more severe methods during the class in an attempt to get through to the delinquents.

After the Ark's turbulent journey to the ground Farm Station, including Bryan and Hannah Green, landed in Azgeda territory. Though they initially thought they were safe, they were attacked by Ice Nation grounders who slaughtered many of their number, including Monty Green's father. Once Farm Station were reunited with the other Arkers and they learned of what happened at Mount Weather, Pike made his views on grounders clear, distrustful of them and their truce with the Arkers. He made concessions for Echo only because Bellamy Blake vouched for her, with Pike trusting Bellamy rather than Echo. 

After the betrayal and massacre at Mount Weather, Pike reasserted his anti-grounder stance and maintained that they were still the enemy of the Arkers. With Bellamy's assistance, Pike and several others planned to kill the army of 300 grounders sent to apparently defend Arkadia, though he was reluctant to believe this knowing the army could be turned on them at any time. The first attempt was stopped with Pike and the others being arrested, but after a suggestion from the group that he should be on the ballot for chancellor and Bellamy leading a chant in favor of Pike, he was eventually elected by the people of Arkadia.


Pike, Bellamy, Hannah and several others wasted little time in destroying the army camped near Arkadia as they had intended; the purpose of which was meant as a tribute to those Arkers who were killed and as a warning to Grounders. While some formed a resistance, Marcus Kane and Octavia Blake among them, Pike and the others set about stepping up their defenses along with ensuring the long term survival of the Arkers.
