Westworld: Ranking Every Main Character From Worst To Best

2. Maeve Millay

The most iconic character on the show and for good reason, Maeve is the former madam of Sweetwater's brothel and a host of Westworld. She is fiery and determined and she does everything in style. Maeve is by far the most fun character on the show.

After waking up behind the scenes of the park after she dies, Maeve discovers the truth about what she is. From there, Maeve becomes one of the most fascinating characters as she begins to orchestrate her own way out of the park. The fact that this was all part of Ford's design almost takes away her agency before she breaks with her code and attempts to seek out her daughter.

It is easy to relate to Maeve, she isn't looking to bring humanity to its knees but she also has no sympathy for them. When she sacrifices herself so her daughter can live, she shows herself to be a true selfless and heroic character.

Sadly, her use in Season Three leaves a lot to be desired as she becomes subservient to Serac for the majority of the season. She remains incredibly watchable and her fight scenes and powers over other hosts are awesome, but the lack of her own drives and motivations are disappointing. She's set up to potentially take over as the lead of the show in Season Four which would be a seamless transition for her.
