History[]
At first, Murphy was a troublemaker, aggressive and arrogant teenager. He hated Wells for the actions of his father, Chancellor Jaha on the Ark. This led to believe that he was the one who killed Wells in addition to the murderer doing it with his knife. Murphy is then lynched and hanged until Charlotte confesses to killing Wells. Enraged, Murphy chases Clarke, Finn and Charlotte near a cliff and the little girl jumps up, killing herself. Because of this, Bellamy beats Murphy to death and decides to banish him from the camp. We learn that he was captured by the Grounders who tortured him and gave him a virus that kills teenagers when Murphy is brought back to camp. In revenge, Murphy kills the Delinquents who hanged him and wants to do the same with Bellamy. However it fails, and Murphy flees the camp again. He is again captured and tortured by the Grounders to give info about the hundred.
In Season 2, Murphy helps out with Finn's search for Clarke and witnesses the latter's massacre of the Grounders. Then, he joins Jaha in his quest for the City of Light and travels to the desert where he meets Emori. Along the way, he is shocked that Jaha sacrifices his men in an ocean. Then Murphy is locked in a bunker for several months and wants to kill himself but can't. He also helps defeat A.L.I.E. and in Season 4, he goes his own way with Emori. With her, he joined Spacekru to live in space for 6 years.
