5 Most Powerful Succession Characters, Ranked

Succession rightfully acquired the status of one of the best TV shows of our time. The show's diverse cast of characters attracts viewers with their uniqueness: each of them is a full-fledged protagonist whose life you can't help but care about.

The series has won several Emmy awards, and has become the subject of many theories and speculations. An important part of the series is power, and in this list of characters who can be called the most powerful.

5. Roman Roy

Rebellious, sharp-tongued, with a completely unique facial expression, Roman Roy sometimes overshadows everyone on the screen.

Roman is currently one of the co-CEOs of Waystar Royco, and the fact that few people are betting on him can be used by screenwriters to surprise the viewers.

His position gives him a lot of power, and he has some protection from his friendship with the newly appointed President Mencken.

4. Shiv Roy

One of the most cunning characters on the show is Shiv Roy, a smart only daughter who believes she can run her father's company better than anyone else.

It seemed to many that Shiv lost most of her influence when Mencken was elected president, but she was still able to come out of that situation with her head held high thanks to her new deal with Matsson and Mencken.

This gives her a good chance of success.

3. Lukas Matsson

Lukas Matsson, CEO of GoJo, competes with Kendall Roy for the title of Succession's most powerful character. His position gives him a tremendous amount of influence that allows him to change circumstances in his favor.

Shiv's friendship also allows him to keep abreast of what's going on at Waystar Royco. His friendship with Mencken also gives him confidence in what he is doing.

2. Kendall Roy

As CEO of Waystar Royco, Kendall undoubtedly has the most power among his rivals. He can influence Menсken, which is a powerful tool in his hands. Also, with Hugo and Roman on his side, he seems to give his competitors no chance.

1. Jeryd Mencken

As President of the US, Mencken holds all the power and has an undeniable influence on every character on this list. Everyone is trying to get him on their side, and the finale of the series depends on Mencken's choices.

You can find out how Succession ends very soon – the final episode will be released on May 28th.
