Background: Eli Carter was born on the Ark, raised in the shadow of its failing infrastructure, and grew up with the knowledge that the truth was often buried by those in power. He never hesitated to speak out against corruption or injustice, and when he uncovered the Ark's life-support system's inevitable failure, he tried to do what was right—attempting to expose the truth, regardless of the consequences. The system wasn't built to allow dissent, and so, Eli was imprisoned for almost exposing the truth.
Unlike Clarke's father, who was floated for revealing the truth, Eli's crime was seen as an act of rebellion against the Ark's fragile political system, not an act of saving the people. But Eli has no regrets. The consequences of his actions were his alone to bear. He did not care for the system, nor for the authority that upheld it, and he's carried that confidence into his new life on Earth. He knows that the past is a collection of moments that shaped him, but it no longer defines him. Eli believes that everything he's done was the right thing, and no matter the cost, he will never apologize for standing by his truth.
When the 100 are sent to Earth, Eli's reputation precedes him. His strength, intellect, and unyielding confidence make him the natural leader of the group. He's chosen by his peers, not because of some symbolic title, but because he has earned it through sheer ability and respect. Eli is not a leader who asks for loyalty; he commands it with his actions, presence, and the trust he instills in those around him. Everyone knows that when Eli speaks, it is not to be questioned—he is the future of humanity, the next evolution, and anyone who underestimates him is bound to regret it.
