Queenie[]
Queenie was a young woman with a natural affinity towards witchcraft. She claimed to be a descendant of Tituba - a black slave accused of witchcraft back in the 17th century. Queenie was a human voodoo doll, who could cause pain to others by inflicting damage upon herself. After working as a short fry cook in a fast food restaurant for a time, Queenie's abilities earned the attention of the staff at Miss Robichaux's Academy in New Orleans. She was recruited as a student at the school where she learned that one of the charges, whose identity was unknown at the time, was destined to become the new Supreme of the New Orleans Coven.
The current Supreme of the Coven, Fiona Goode, resurrected the immortal 18th century slave-owner, Madame Delphine LaLaurie, and forced her into servitude at the school where she became Queenie's personal slave. LaLaurie manipulated Queenie into believing that these Salem witches did not have her best interests at heart, and that they would never allow her to become the next Supreme. This drove Queenie to take up shelter with Fiona Goode's rival - the infamous and immortal Voodoo queen of New Orleans, Marie Laveau. Queenie worked at Laveau's hair salon, Cornrow City, for a time, but returned to Miss Robichaux's after surviving an assault by a witch hunter named Hank Foxx.
At Miss Robichaux's, Queenie helped the other witches survive an attack by a psychopath known as the Axeman. She also participated in the ritual of the Seven Wonders and survived. When Cordelia Goode, Fiona's daughter, became the new Supreme, she opened the school up publicly and appointed an inner council. Queenie became one of the inner circle members of the revitalized school.
Quentin Fleming[]
Quentin Fleming was a warlock and a member of the witches' council along with Cecily Pembroke and Myrtle Snow. Quentin Fleming and the witches' council presided over a tribunal held at Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies, wherein Fiona Goode was accused of murdering the Supreme of her coven - an act that took place some forty-years prior. However, the testimony of Fiona's faithful mute butler, Spalding, pointed the finger of blame at Myrtle. Quentin and Cecily turned against Myrtle, partially because of their ambition to consolidate power within the council, and had her sentenced to be burned to death.

Sentence was carried out, but Myrtle was resurrected through the power of a non-aligned witch named Misty Day. Myrtle took her revenge upon Quentin and Cecily by dismembering them. She took one of Quentin's eyes, and used it to heal the blind witch, Cordelia Goode. (AHS: Head)
