by

The first season of *Chief of War* concluded with a particularly strong finale. The episode fully embraced the ongoing war, showed some harsh consequences, and successfully laid the groundwork for a second season while still providing a definitive ending to the first. Many viewers are likely wondering what happened to Ka’iana, Jason Momoa’s character, after the events of the season.

So does Ka’iana die or come out triumphant? Here is a breakdown.

Does Jason Momoa’s Ka’iana die in Chief of War’s ending?

No, Momoa’s character Ka’iana doesn’t die in Chief of War Season 1.

The final episode of Chief of War, based on historical events, expertly portrays the build-up to and the ensuing battle – a brutal conflict fought in the shadow of an active volcano. Ka’iana commands Kamehameha’s army against Keoua, and as the episode reaches its climax, a fierce and bloody confrontation between the two leaders determines the outcome of the war.

The fight between Ka’iana and Keoua reaches a climax when Ka’iana is poised to strike the final blow. However, a volcanic eruption intervenes, killing Keoua and injuring Ka’iana. The eruption abruptly ends the battle, and though wounded, Ka’iana lives to see another day.

So, no, Jason Momoa’s Ka’iana does not die in Chief of War’s Season 1 finale.

With Keoua’s defeat, Kamehameha won the battle. Kaʻahumanu joined Kamehameha’s advisors, and Namake rescued the injured Kupuohi. News of Keoua’s death and Kamehameha’s victory eventually reached Kahekili, who then began preparing for war against the island of Hawaiʻi.

Even though Momoa’s character, Ka’iana, won the battle, the win isn’t without its problems, setting up plenty of possibilities for a second season.
