The Haunting Of Bly Manor: Ranking Every Character Worst To Best

8. Peter Quint

The catalyst for Rebecca's death and the reason for Dani's ghostly near-death experience, Peter Quint is definitively the worst character to stalk the grounds of Bly Manor. Cool, charming and handsome with a devilishly warm Scottish drawl, Quint being dead does little to deter his scheme to exist forever on the Bly estate with Rebecca and the kids.

It should be said that just because Quint is an overall bad guy, that doesn't mean he's totally without redemption. Ultimately, he wants Rebecca to live for herself, even though the pain he causes as a result is unimaginable. He desires them to have a "life", or as much of one as he can, with Rebecca Jessel and the Wingrave children in the manor, where they will be free of the pain they experienced so much while living; he wants to remove the agonies of life, with a willing death and transition into the dream-like world of Bly's dimension.

However, this does involve the deaths of two kids, and more than a few adults, therefore his position here is warranted. Sorry Quint: much as you might yourself not to be, you're still ultimately a villain with selfish motivations in both the before and afterlife.
