the Underwood’s may get the majority of
the publicity but this show is full of
intriguing characters that play
important roles now that I know what the
dots are I can see that she’s starting
to connect welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten house of cards characters
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at the best characters from the
first four seasons of the critically
acclaimed Netflix original series and of
course given the nature of this video
boiler alert is in effect six months
it’s not a little office planning you
want me to say those three magic words
number 10 Linda Vasquez we are not
nominating you for Secretary of State
the brutally tough chief of staff to
president Walker
Linda is one of the few characters on
the show that’s demonstrated the ability
to stand up to Frank Underwood in fact
near the end of season two she nearly
exposes Frank’s treachery for the world
to see you said you would let the bridge
go and then you went behind my back just
like you’re trying I do not require your
permission but you should involve me
although she will be remembered as
another of Frank’s victims Linda put up
one hell of a fight and showed
throughout the series that she was
capable of going toe-to-toe with all the
big egos in Washington
it’s antagonizing oil and gas we can’t
afford that sort of battle after all the
capital we spent on education in fact
has even Frank admits Linda is one of
the few characters on the show who he
truly respected I’ve never thought
higher over than I do at this moment she
lost but she played to win number nine
Jacqueline Jackie sharp how do I know
you’re not just using me another
character who’s not shied away from
standing up to Frank Jackie sharp
replaces mr. Underwood as House Majority
Whip when he becomes vice president in
season two oh we wouldn’t
sharp is one of the few characters on
the show willing to assist Frank and
thus is a vital part of his plans in
fact one could say they’re quite similar
we see Jackie destroy a longtime friend
to get ahead and she even maintains a
romantic relationship with Remy Danton
and uses that to her political advantage
all the hands have not someone a Memphis
I know for confidence in backbone make
her one of the stronger characters on
the show although her inability to see
through Frank’s treachery is definitely
to her detriment I’ll be the president
Thank You Jackie
number eight Raymond tusk have I said
something amusing arguably the greatest
threat Frank is based on the show
Raymond tusk is truly a wolf in sheep’s
clothing on the surface he’s a reclusive
billionaire who loved bird-watching but
we soon find out that he’s actually the
one pulling all the strings in
Washington I never make an offer more
than twice Frank tell me now if I can
count on your cooperation it puts them
on a collision course with Frank and the
to square off and an epic battle of
wills during season two when they put
you in that box
barely bigger than done coffin
remember how beautiful the music was
tonight tusk goes after Claire Freddie
and even the US economy in an attempt to
win his war with Frank but ultimately
like so many others in this series he
fails in the end up to shame number 7
Zoe Barnes we’re in a very gray area
ethically whether you loved her or hated
her it’s hard to deny that Zoe Barnes
did whatever it took to get ahead it’s
ultimately this ambition that puts her
squarely in the path of Frank Underwood
and leads to her tragic downfall you
can’t hurt me
two Q’s initially sleeping with a
congressman to get the inside scoop
doesn’t seem to faze Zoey but she begins
to have a change of heart as the series
progresses some ludicrous
I’m just asking question know you’re
connecting dots that don’t exist she
can’t leave well enough alone however
and begins looking into Frank ultimately
getting close enough to the truth that
it forces Frank to act and remove her
from the scenario once and for all
number six Peter Russo sir have you been
drinking no I never drink off his
account perhaps the first pond to take
the fall for Frank and his grand scheme
to reach the Oval Office Peter Russo was
a congressman from Philadelphia with a
habit of spending time with escorts and
alcohol abuse after going on one hell of
a bender result begins to recover and
with the aid of Frank runs for governor
of Pennsylvania I’ve been very open
about my past and I’ve done everything I
can to overcome it in a responsible
permanent way the heartwarming comeback
story is short-lived however as Frank
quickly sabotages Russo who again falls
off the wagon unable to trust his next
actions Frank ruthlessly ensures that no
one will hear from Peter again leaving
behind two young children
Peter story is easily one of the most
heartbreaking on the show Congressman
Peter Russo was found dead early this
morning
number five Rachel Posner in 11:20 one
from one tragic story to another Rachel
didn’t ask to get involved with Frank
Underwood or Doug Stamper but soon
became a vital cog in their plans we
first meet Rachel as the prostitute
who’s in the wrong place at the wrong
time when she gets caught in a car with
Peter Russo Frank taps tamper to keep an
eye on her he slowly develops an
infatuation with her it becomes frankly
downright creepy I’ve ever done is try
to protect you
what I’m trying to do now after being
alienated from society and forced to
move and quit multiple jobs Rachel is
left with no choice but to attack Doug
and make a run for it sadly she’s unable
to escape for long and becomes another
tragic victim number four Remy Danton
congressman sorry interruptus I sit over
here I’m Remy Nolan flip flops like Remy
Danton Danton has been Frank’s enemy as
seen in season two when he worked as a
lobbyist for Raymond tusk but also as
his ally assuming the role of chief of
staff when Frank becomes president you
trying to send a message perhaps however
Denton’s real weakness at least in
Frank’s eyes is that he values money
over power we do see a more sensitive
side to Remy in his relationship with
Jackie sharp as it’s actually him that
asks for a real commitment that wasn’t
asking to marry you just did be more
than company for a night
what’s more Remy appears to be one of
the few characters that’s managed to
escape Frank’s grasp and may even have a
shot at living happily ever after what
are you gonna do what’s the best part I
have no idea number three
Douglas Doug Stamper vice president
trusts you than I trust you one of the
most disturbing characters on the show
Doug is Frank’s right-hand man and
clearly will do whatever it takes to
ensure Frank gets what he wants
I’m a fail-safe sir but I can’t be that
if you won’t let me Doug’s obsession
with Rachael and his relapse into
alcoholism sidelines him for a period of
time but he returns with a vengeance and
reclaims his role alongside Frank if you
want me here by your side I want me
I prefer no you do what you have to do
be back when it’s home ruthless
determined and loyal to a fault Doug is
the first person you’d want as your ally
and the absolute last one you want as
your enemy all I’m trying to do is keep
you safe number two ranked Underwood
lemons like this requires someone who
will act do the unpleasant thing when we
first meet Frank Underwood he kills a
wounded dog with his bare hands in the
middle of the street little did we know
at the time that this was only the
beginning
ruthless and calculating Frank has lied
cheated and murdered his way to the
presidency after being betrayed in
regards to his role in the new
administration Frank goes on the warpath
and does not hesitate to remove anyone
in his way what’s happened okay okay you
don’t have the right to ask me that
question and if you do anything that
endangers yourself again I swear to God
I will put you in your grave like Walter
White and Tony Soprano Frank Underwood
is the anti-hero one we know we should
despise but one we also can’t help but
root for what do you look before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions
the girth days pretty close to August
1990 and she died in 93 along with her
whole family
[Music]
number one Claire underwood and that
kind that I love fire the Lady Macbeth
to Frank Underwood Macbeth whalers
perhaps even colder and more ruthless
than her husband simply put there’s no
Frank
without Claire her struggle feels more
personal at times can viewers see that
she’s not afraid to take on anyone who
may oppose her even her husband no I’m
not going to ask for your blessing on
every decision I make Francis we make
decisions together
still she isn’t quite as self-obsessed
as her other half and her desire to
reform the way the military handles rape
cases is noble and inspiring her display
of emotion when she realizes what she
puts Megan Hennessey through is equally
as revealing it’s for this reason that
no one else could take our top spot if I
let the things people say about me get
under my skin I wouldn’t be able to
leave my own home do you agree with our
picks check out these other great clips
