What We Do In The Shadows - Ranking Every Major Character Worst To Best

5. Nandor

Once, Nandor the Relentless ruled the kingdom of Al-Quolanudar. Now, he lives in modern day Staten Island. His best moments reflect the difficulty of that transition.

Still attracted to power, Nandor learns that he cannot conquer Staten Island the way he conquered lands a long time ago. This leads to some hilarious moments, such as his confronting the Staten Island council, and his desire to become a US Citizen in honour of the powerful US men's Olympic basketball team.

Nandor's relationship with his familiar Guillermo is a surprisingly tender part of his character. Though he genuinely cares for Guillermo, he has trouble expressing it to him, leading to some fights and tension between the two. This leads to some hilarity, such the time when he calls Guillermo a friend, and he admits that it sounds wrong so he erases his declaration of friendship from Guillermo's memory.

Nandor only comes in last because someone has to. He's a great character, played to perfection by Kayvan Novak. However, he lacks some of the creativity of the rest of the cast, and his treatment of Guillermo can sometimes be frustrating. Still, it's always entertaining to listen to his stories of his former glory.
