Clarke and Kent

Kent and Clarke is the relationship between siblings Clarke Griffin and Kent Griffin. They are portrayed by starring cast members Eliza Taylor and Burkely Duffield and debut in the story premiere.

Because of the one child law on the Ark, Kent's birth was covered up by his parents, Jake and Abby, who sent their newborn to Earth in a pod. Kent was then found and adopted by Triku warrior, Anya.

Since Clarke was only a year old at the time of Kent's birth, she essentially forgot/never knew she had a brother. Clarke and Kent were reunited in Lost and Profound.

Notes and Trivia

 * Kent's name is a reference to Clark Kent, the alternate identity of Superman. This is the sole reason for the choosing of Kent's name, since his sister's name is Clarke.
 * Kent being the Skaion (kind of a superhero like Superman) and Clarke being a normal person (Clark Kent) can be seen as a mirror to the alternate identities.
 * Matt, the author, isn't really into superheroes but if he had to choose one as his hero, it would be Superman. Matt also really loves cultural references.
 * One reader of TSWT commented on The Pauna and the Frogs and said that every time "Clarke" and "Kent" are said together, it makes her giggle.
