15 Greatest American Horror Story Characters
9. Madison Montgomery
Madison Montgomery is a complicated character, to say the very least. She is something of American Horror Story's answer to an anti-hero, in that she has helped the coven out on numerous occasions, but usually only if it coincided with her own self interests.
The former movie star is often played as selfish, egotistical, and bratty, but she has been through an unfair amount of tragedy in her life, from being raped at a party to being murdered by Fiona, and a more than unpleasant stay in hell.
Personality traits, petty squabbles, and power struggles aside, Madison has proved herself to be nothing short of an incredibly powerful witch. At one stage she was even thought to be the next Supreme, though this was ultimately not the case. As strong as she was in her first appearance however, it's fair to say that between Coven and Apocalypse, Madison became more well rounded as a witch, and certainly more worthy of Cordelia's trust.
Though she never rose to the rank of Supreme, she was instrumental in taking down Michael Langdon and earning a big win for the coven.
