‘American Horror Story: 13’ Who Is Mr. Nas?

In the early stages of the third season of "American Horror Story," a new and unsettling character emerges named Mr. Nas. An elderly man in his late 80s, Nas is wheelchair-bound and under the care of Constance Lang, who employs Ben DeSoto as her assistant. Initially, Ben perceives Nas as a frail and helpless individual, but he possesses an enigmatic ability.

At night, Nas regurgitates a black liquid, which coincides with alarming events such as the plane crash Ben miraculously survived. Moreover, there appears to be a living entity within Nas' tub, emerging during private bathing sessions. At times, the creature resembles a baby's hand. Constance assures Ben that Nas has numerous admirers and claims he is the "mastermind" behind this season's plan to gather 13 deceased leading ladies on the pagan holiday of Rauhnacht.

The role of Mr. Nas is played by two actors: Fedor Steer and Paul Anthony Kelly. Steer portrays the older version of the character, known for his appearances in "The Haunting of Hill House," "Evil," and the 2026 version of "Scary Movie." Kelly, a rising star in Hollywood, takes on the role of the younger Nas, previously recognized for his portrayal of John F. Kennedy Jr. in "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette." "American Horror Story: 13" is set to premiere on FX and Hulu every Thursday.
