Delphine LaLaurie

“

"I know how redemption works in this century. I seen it all on the magic box. Agree to be publically humiliated-- all is forgiven. People have gotten soft, weak, lily-livered. All anybody has to do nowadays is shed some tears, say some words."

”

—Madame Delphine LaLaurie

Madame Marie Delphine LaLaurie is the tertiary antagonist in season three of the American Horror Story tv show. She was a high-society Creole socialite in 1830s New Orleans. She was a racist woman who liked to torture afro-americans slaves. She creates a nightmarish beauty balm derived from fresh human pancreases that she removed from her slaves. Her arch-enemy is Marie Laveau.
