After learning that "Black Sail" alum Zach McGowan was cast in a recurring role in the third season of "The 100" back in July, fans are now looking forward to know what his character will bring to the chaotic world of the survivors in the post-apocalyptic series.
According to the casting announcement shared by The Wrap, the actor will portray the character named Roan in "The 100" season 3. Roan is described as a scoundrel Grounder warrior "who will stop at nothing to get what he wants."
Nothing has been said further about McGowan's character after the casting news, which fuels the curiosity of the fans to learn more about the potential troublemaker for the Grounders in season 3.
But recently, "The 100" series creator Jason Rothenberg and writer Shawna Benson finally shed the light on Roan's characteristics when fans asked them on Twitter.
When a fan asked the series creator to divulge any information about Roan, Rothenberg vaguely teased how the character will be introduced in the series.
He's not a happy camper when we meet him. #The100 @BellamyClarke7

Anything I say will be a spoiler, practically. But @Zach_McGowan is so great and perfect for our show! https://t.co/BwS3OWXZtz

However, she reiterated that Roan is a Grounder, which means that long-haired men are typical among the tribe.
No idea, but he IS playing a Grounder... https://t.co/NlDXK6QJ8c

According to the official synopsis for the season, the peaceful situation after the war will be short-lived, and no one will stay the same after the war. "First, they fought to survive. Then, they fought for their friends. Now, they will fight for the human race," an excerpt from the synopsis stated.
The CW will air the premiere episode of "The 100" season 3 in early 2016.
