John Murphy, or simply Murphy, is a main character in the 100 series.

Canon

Murphy is part of the original 100. Murphy was Bellamy Blake's second-in-command until Clarke accuses him of murdering Wells, resulting in the Delinquents trying to hang him. He is banished from the camp and captured and tortured by Grounders before escaping. He returns to the Camp unknowingly infected with fever, spreading it to most of the camp. He then kills Connor and Myles for their participation in attempting to hang him. He also tries to hang Bellamy and badly wounds Raven by shooting her before he escapes from the camp and is recaptured by Grounders.

Murphy is eventually reunited with the remaining Delinquents outside Mount Weather. He ends up going with Finn to Tondc in search of the missing Delinquents. As Finn massacres 18 villagers, Murphy tries to stop him unsuccessfully.

He decides to join Thelonious on his journey to the City of Light, where they eventually reach an island and Jaha leaves an injured Murphy behind. Murphy discovers a lighthouse bunker from before the nuclear war and makes himself at home.
