Ranking The "House Of Cards" Characters, From Worst To Best

Whether they’re the puppets or the puppet masters, the diverse set of characters on House of Cards add depth and intrigue to the show’s political machinations. Here’s how they stack up against each other. Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS through the Season 2 finale.

Nancy Kaufberger

Played by: Elizabeth Norment

What she does: secretary to the Democratic whip

Nancy is proud to be Frank Underwood's secretary — so proud, in fact, that with a little flattery, she's willing to aid Frank in spying on Jackie Sharp when she's Jackie's secretary in Season 2. (It's possible she didn't realize what she was doing, exactly. But come on.) Nancy hasn't been given much in terms of character development, but her loyalty, however twisted, is admirable.

Gillian Cole

Played by: Sandrine Holt

What she does: employee, then owner of Clean Water Initiative

For a very brief period of time, Gillian was a thorn in Claire's side — it looked as though she might actually do some damage. And when Claire, in response to a potential lawsuit, basically threatened the life of Gillian's unborn child, it was an eye-opening moment: Claire could be just as cutthroat as Frank. But Gillian disappeared with little fanfare in Season 2, making it all feel a little pointless.

Connor Ellis

Played by: Samuel Page

What he does: communications director for Claire Underwood

Aside from being perhaps the most attractive member of the Underwood's staff, Connor didn't leave much of a lasting impression. As soon as Seth Grayson started working for Claire and Frank, purposely pushing Connor out of the loop, there wasn't much left for Connor to do. He left abruptly, leaving only the memories of his pretty face behind.

Netflix

Lisa Williams

Played by: Kate Lyn Sheil

What she does: social worker

From the moment Lisa showed up on House of Cards, there were sparks between her and Rachel Posner. Oh, sure, they were just friends at first, but you could tell there was something more brewing. Who didn't breathe a sigh of relief when these two finally got together? Unfortunately, Lisa wasn't much of a character beyond that, and Doug forced Rachel to quickly dispatch her.
