Madeline Usher is Roderick's driven and ambitious twin sister. The brains behind the operation at Fortunato Pharmaceuticals.

Biography[]
Madeline Usher is the twin sister to Roderick Usher. The two grew up in a long since run down house with their highly religious mother who grew sick and died. Following her wishes after death the twins avoided taking their mother to the doctor or informing anyone of her death and took the matter into their own hands, burying her in the back garden. She later breaks free from her grave and Madeline and Roderick are seen following her as her mother runs to her former boss's house and kills him.
it is later implied that following the death of their mother, the twins are put in foster care and that Madeline was the smarts that kept her and her brother safe. she recalls a time her brother pushed their foster carers where as she was the one who gained their trust and turned them in to the cops.
Madeline and Roderick meet Verna at the bar the night Roderick is celebrated by Fortunato after killing their former boss to allow Roderick to rise to power and the twins strike a deal with her to have everything they've ever wanted and be powerful and rich in exchange for the Usher bloodline to end with them. the two agree on the deal unaware of the scale the repercussions would take.
Madeline is killed at the end of the show by her brother in the attempt to end their bloodline and in doing so she comes back from the dead, in a similar manner to her mother and kills her brother, thus collapsing the usher house and ending the family bloodline.
