Clarke Griffin

Wanheda - Commander of Death


About


Clarke was part of the 100, a group of juvenile delinquents from the Ark who were sent to Earth. Prior to being locked up, Clarke was a medical apprentice, following in her mom's footsteps, and used those skills to serve as the medic on the ground. After several deaths on the ground, Clarke became a co-leader alongside Bellamy Blake. While in charge, she tried to negotiate a peace treaty with Anya and helped lead the defense against the army of Grounders attacking their camp.

After successfully defending the camp, Clarke and 47 other delinquents were taken by the Mountain Men. She escaped Mount Weather and found her way to Camp Jaha, the new settlement set up by The Ark. Clarke helped create an alliance with the Grounder Coalition, led by Commander Lexa, to fight the Mountain Men. However, the Grounders broke the alliance, forcing Clarke and Bellamy to irradiate Mount Weather. Unable to come to terms with what they did, Clarke sets off on her own.

Among the Grounders, Clarke's reputation spread, eventually gaining her the moniker of Wanheda, the Commander of Death.

Three months have passed since the tragedy at Mount Weather and our heroes learn that a bounty has been put on Clarke's head. Unbeknownst to Clarke, a team led by Bellamy and Kane journeys deep into Grounder territory to save her. However they weren't the only ones looking either.

Clarke leaves the trading post when she is snatched from behind and a sword is placed at her throat. Roan greets her as Wanheda.

Roan is transporting Clarke along a riverbank when Clarke seems to pass out. Roan goes to the river to refill his water when Clarke attacks him from behind and tackles him into the river. She holds his head under water until he falls still, thinking he is unconscious. Roan takes his advantage and holds Clarke's head under water until she stops struggling. Clarke comes back up with the red berries rinsed from her hair to see that Roan's face has also been cleaned, revealing Ice Nation scars upon his face.

In a vast field, Roan orders Clarke to be quiet as three Ice Nation scouts draw closer to where they are hiding. Clarke starts screaming through her gag and Roan tells her their deaths are on her as he puts a sack over her head. Roan approaches the scouts and tells them he has Wanheda to bring to their queen. One of the scouts removes the sack from her head to verify it is her and they discuss taking the Wanheda for themselves. Clarke starts running with one of the scouts chasing after her while Roan fights and quickly dispatches the other two, grabbing a bow and arrow along the way. He shoots the third scout in the back, causing him to collapse on top of Clarke. As Roan goes to retrieve Clarke, she sneaks a weapon from the dead scout and stabs him in the stomach with it but he quickly subdues her.

Roan has Clarke tied up in the station and is heating a blade over the fire. He takes off his shirt to treat his wound, showing impressive scars across his back. Clarke asks why he is hiding from his people and he asks her why she ran away from hers. He cauterizes the wound on his side and walks over to Clarke with the heated blade. He calls her "the Great Wanheda, Mountain Slayer." She asks him why he is taking her to the Ice Nation when he isn't loyal to them and her people will offer him more. He tells her that he was banished and she is the way back to his people.

Roan brings Clarke into a room with a bag over her head. The bag is removed, revealing Lexa seated on a throne with Indra and Titus flanking her. Roan tells Lexa to lift his banishment as payment on the bounty. Lexa tells him his mother's army is marching on Polis and she will honor the deal when Roan's queen honors her Coalition. She commands "Prince Roan of Azgeda" to be locked away and orders Indra and Titus out. Lexa's two guards help Clarke to her feet as Lexa removes the gag from Clarke's mouth and apologizes for the kidnapping but she had to keep Clarke out of the Ice Queen's hands because she needs her. Clarke spits in Lexa's face and starts screaming, calling her a bitch and threatening to kill her as the guards drag Clarke away.

Clarke Griffin overlooks Polis from her prison cell in the tower. Lexa enters and tells her she has allowed Clarke to refuse to see her for a week but she is holding a summit at sundown with the Skaikru and will be returning Clarke to her people. She tells Clarke she saved her and Clarke gets angry about Lexa leaving her at Mount Weather, saying the difference between them is that Lexa had no honor and Clarke had no choice. Lexa tells her she wants the Skaikru to become her people and join the Coalition as the thirteenth clan. If Clarke bows before Lexa, the Skaikru will be safe. Clarke tells her to kill her for the power of Wanheda and refuses to ever bow before Lexa.

Lexa enters the throne room where the representatives from the rest of the clans have gathered. All bow before her except for the Ice Nation representative. Titus confronts him and the Ice Nation representative tells him the Commander should bow before him because they don't make treaties with enemies. Titus tells him that the Commander bows before no one. Lexa switches to English in honor of the Skaikru who have yet to arrive and tells Titus to stand down. The Ice Nation rep asks why Wanheda is still alive and calls Clarke Lexa's "weakness." Titus asks about the Ice Nation army that moved in close to Polis and he excuses it as "military exercises." Indra calls him out on crossing the border of Trikru lands. Lexa calls a halt to the argument and invites the Ice Nation representative to join her to speak in private on the balcony where she has a message to deliver to Queen Nia. She kicks him off the balcony, killing him, and turns around to ask if anyone else wants to question her.

Note:


This is where I'm no longer with the story of the actual show. This is where I plan to derail it and make it differ from the original story line.
