Best HPI characters

Morgane Alvaro leads the HPI ranking with 1658 ELO points over 136 duels, ahead of Adam Karadec and Gilles Vandraud.

The 158-point gap between Morgane Alvaro and Adam Karadec marks the sharpest divide in the ranking, cementing the eccentric cleaning lady turned consultant as the clear favorite. Adam Karadec, her methodical police counterpart, holds second place with 1500 ELO points, followed by Gilles Vandraud at 1435 points. The podium reflects the core dynamic of the show: the brilliant but unconventional Morgane, the disciplined detective Karadec, and the veteran Vandraud form the investigative trio that drives the narrative. At the bottom, Roxane Ascher lands in last place with 879 points and a 23% win rate, suggesting that secondary characters struggle to compete with the main cast's popularity. Dr. Bonnemain and Chloé Alvaro, Morgane's daughter, also languish near the bottom with 954 and 931 points respectively.

This ranking draws from 2031 duels cast by 75 players across 12 contenders, updated on 11 October 2026.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
