True Blood Spoiler: Brothers & Sisters Grad to Play the 'Jim Morrison of Vampires'

Bon Temps is about to bear witness to quite an anomaly: a vampire with more substance than style. True Blood has tapped Brothers & Sisters alum Luke Grimes play the recurring role of James, a circa ’70s-made vamp who is smart, spiritual and emotionally deeper than any other bloodsucker we’ve seen before, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Picture a cross between Jim Morrison and Gary Clark Jr. with even more of a poet’s edge. The dude’s every women’s dream come true, and he doesn’t even know it. Grimes, who spent two seasons on Brothers & Sisters as William Walker’s love child Ryan, is set to debut at the midway point of the HBO hit’s sixth season (which is slated to premiere in June).

True Blood Spoiler: From Temptation To True Blood: Jurnee Smollett-Bell’s New Gig

As was previously announced, actress Jurnee Smollett-Bell has joined the cast of HBO’s True Blood. In this role she will play a series regular named Nicole. Her character seems to be on the straight and narrow and is described as a “wide-eye character who is not concerned with money and more concerned with the common good and doing what’s right.”

[NICOLE JANNSEN] Bi-Racial (African American / Caucasian) Mid 20s. A true bleeding heart. She’s not at all concerned with money, she’s concerned with the common good and doing what’s right. Probably went to Bryn Mawr and drives an old Saab. Life hasn’t beaten her down yet. She and her band of well-meaning liberal advocates model themselves after the civil rights activist “Freedom Riders” of the Sixties. A do-gooder to the core, Nicole’s naive optimism is charming but ultimately vaguely idiotic and dangerous…SERIES REGULAR

True Blood Spoiler: 'True Blood' Season Six, Carrie Preston Says It Best

Carrie Preston in her interview with HuffPost gave an intriguing clue into what Trubies can expect in the upcoming sixth season. “It still has the flavor of ‘True Blood,’ as it always will, but it does have something — a little spring in its step in an interesting way, I think. Everybody is finding the new chemistry between all of that and all those players. And of course, with ‘True Blood,’ there’s always still a million new characters that are being introduced. I don’t know how they keep that many balls in the air and continue to juggle, but they do.’

And this season, again, they will. But, don’t despair, there will be a huge helping of Bill, Eric, Sookie, Sam, Pam, Tara, Lafayette and our favorites. So, do not fret. A source on the set of “True Blood” tells Highlight Hollywood, “Mark Hudis had a meeting early in January, and he talked things through, and maybe it’s because we have a great team, but everyone is on board for this wild ride. But, Mark does know the core fans were not all happy last year, so he’s hoping to bring them back into the fold,” the source said.

Though Alan Ball isn’t the official honcho or showrunner, he’ll still be involved in a limited basis on some of the plots, just not the main ones. “Tommy, the chemistry this year is incredible. I just hope the fans are excited, because there will be a major event that happens on the season premiere in June, that will restart the clock. It’s definitely something most people want to see, and will be reinvigorated by this show,” our insider tells Highlight Hollywood.

What about Eric? “A big year is planned for him!” Bill? “Things change in the second episode, and Bill fans will be happy as well.” Pam and Tara? “Challenges and egos will play a big part in these two characters.” Sookie, Jason and Rutger Hauer’s character? “Shocking! Game changing,” the source tells Highlight Hollywood. “It’s a war, but nothing like what happened last season.

True Blood Spoilers: Title Change for Episode 3 (Season 6) of HBO’s True Blood ‘Rock Hard Times’ Gets a New Name

Recently, True Blood Net reported that Episode 3, Season 6 of HBO’s True Blood would be titled ‘Rock Hard Times’. As is the case with television shows that are evolving as they are written and filmed, SpoilerTV has reported a name change. Episode 3 will no longer be known as ‘Rock Hard Times’, but has been retitled as ‘Abducted’.'

Along with this name change, there is another casting call. HBO are on the look out for someone to play the recurring guest role of Dr. Overlark. This character is 50-years-old and a ruthless advisor to the Governor, Creighton Burrell (played by Arliss Howard). Along side this role, they are also keen to find someone to fill the role of Hido Takahashi. Hido is another a 50-year-old, but one who likes to talk about himself!

[CREIGHTON BURRELL] Governor of Louisiana (Late 40s-60s) A classic good ol’ boy politician. Governor Burrell has despised vampires since his wife ran off with one, leaving him as a single father to their only daughter, Ali. Governor Burrell is a politically savvy and perhaps overly ambitious fella who tends to let his personal aspirations overshadow his humanity…SERIES REGULAR.

Besides these recurring roles, HBO is also looking for a guest role. Maggie is a 35-year-old woman who is pregnant and thinks her husband has run off with another woman. And, finally, they are looking for co-star roles in the form of two police deputies who have to search a cabin.

So many tasty morsels here. Why was Episode 3′s name changed? And who are all these interesting new characters? At least it will give us something to think about until HBO announces the start date for True Blood.

True Blood Spoilers: Episode 3

This is what SpoilerTV revealed about Episode 6.03 – thanks to our friendly neighborhood Spoiler Fairy;

Episode 6.03 of True Blood will be called “Rock Hard Times” and one guest star and many co-star roles are being cast for it.

The guest star part is a 50-year-old woman named Beverly Hutt who was a friend of Sookie/Jason’s parents and answers their questions about them. The co-star roles are: Young Beverly Hutt, 30 year old, (seen in a flashback), 4 mischievous/silly faerie girls (who are younger versions of 4 faeries as seen in a flashback), a 30-to-50-year-old hospital nurse who attempts to calm a patient, 8-year-old Sookie (also seen in a flashback), and 2 Caddo Parish sheriff deputies who visit Sam at his home.

The Spoiler Fairy also revealed this about the sheriff deputies: Just an FYI… A casting notice for two polite Caddo parish deputies was sent out previously for episode 6.01, but it looks like they’ll be paying Sam a visit in episode 6.03 instead (since this new casting notice lists those roles again).

TV LIne gave a True Blood tidbit today: Question: Looking for some tidbits, morsels or anything on True Blood. I love your site and check it out daily. — Scotty

Ausiello: Thanks, Scotty! This summer, Bon Temps’ vampire population will face something that’s potentially even more dangerous than the sun: Crate & Barrel!I’m sorry, I mean Creighton Burrell. Not only is the new regular character a morally murky politician — and the governor of Louisiana! — but he also has a major hate-on for fangers, owing to the fact that his wife ditched him with their daughter to be with one!

True Blood Spoiler: Ben has been cast for Season 6 of True Blood

Move over, Bill. And Eric. And Alcide. There’s a new man in Sookie’s life — and he’s putting down stakes in Bon Temps.

True Blood has tapped English actor Rob Kazinsky (EastEnders) to join the Season 6 cast as a series regular, TVLine has learned.

Kazinsky — whose biggest TV credit stateside was an arc as a doctor on Brothers & Sisters — will play Ben, a highly charismatic faerie who takes a liking to Sookie (and vice-versa) and helps Sookie and Jason delve deeper into the mystery of their parents’ murders. This marks True Blood‘s second major Season 6 hire. As TVLine reported last month, acting vet Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner) has also come on board in the series regular role of Macklyn, a mysterious and sinister figure with deep ties to Sookie and Jason.

In the meantime, we’ve got an intriguing spoiler to tide you over! This week, new showrunner Mark Hudis sent out a casting call for a brand new character — and she’s going to be a major player in the upcoming 10-episode season.

The “True Blood” team is looking for a Caucasian actress in her early 20s to play Nicole Jannsen. A “do-gooder to the core” Nicole is naive, optimistic, and charming — but her idealism is “ultimately vaguely idiotic and dangerous.” Nicole is a key member of a band of well-meaning liberal advocates. The gang models itself after the civil rights activist Freedom Riders of the 1960s, a group of progressive protesters who rode buses from state to state, challenging racial segregation and Jim Crow travel laws. The Freedom Riders were usually arrested, and fell victim to mob violence, Ku Klux Klan beatings, and cruel and unusual punishment in prison.

Don’t expect a secret agenda from Nicole, who will appear as a new series regular character this season. “A true bleeding heart,” Nicole is “not at all concerned with money; she’s concerned with the common good and doing what’s right… Life hasn’t beaten her down yet.” If you’re still not getting a clear picture, the casting call suggests that she went to Bryn Mawr College and drives an old Saab. Time for your dream casting, “True Blood” fans! What young actress do you think would fit in with the gang? How do you think Nicole will come into play, given the regime change in last season’s finale?

True Blood Spoiler: Rutger Hauer joins cast of True Blood as a Season Regular

T HR reports that Blade Runner star and genre vet Rutger Hauer has joined the cast of True Blood as a series regular. Season six will feature the actor, starring as Macklyn ( update: now Niall Brigant) — “who has a deep and dark connection to Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and her brother, Jason (Ryan Kwanten).”

The sixth installment will pick up the story of Sookie and Jason’s attempt to trace the murder of their parents. We met a vampire named Warlow in the fifth season that may be responsible for the orphaned twins’ loss and will most likely figure into Macklyn’s (Niall Brigant's) ties to the Stackhouse tribe.

Hauer just completed work on Dario Argento’s recent critical failure — a 3D adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. In 2011, he found a whole new fan base when Jason Eisener’s Hobo with a Shotgun reintroduced the Golden Globe-winning star as an unhinged vigilante. Last season of True Blood saw Law and Order’s Christopher Meloni join the cast, and we’re hoping Hauer sticks around a lot longer. How about you?

Sookie Stackhouse

True Blood

Southern Vampire Mysteries

Portrayed by Anna Paquin, Sookie, first appearing in S1 E1 entitled "Strange Love", can be described as 25 years old, with blond hair, brown eyes, and a slender frame. We first see Sookie working as a normal barmaid at Merlotte's, but it is soon revealed that she has the unique ability to hear other people's thoughts, whether she wants to or not. Coping the best way she can, she eventually gives herself a minute to block them out.

She has an older brother named Jason. Sookie's parents, Corbett & Michelle Stackhouse, passed away during a flash flood when she was 7 yrs old and when Jason was 10. She has lived with her grandmother, Adele, every since their death. It is discovered in S3 E7 entitled "Hitting the Ground" that Sookie has no blood type.

She encounters her first vampire customer, Bill Compton, in which she embraces with great interest and excitement. She exclaims that she she'd been waiting for such an encounter since they "came out of the coffin" two years prior. A bit flirty, Sookie takes Bill's order of red wine ignoring Mack's remark about her being "crazy as a bedbug". At the bar she gushes about Bill to Tara and Sam, who think she's insane for not fearing a vampire.

As the Rattrays continue cozying up to Bill at Merlotte's, Sookie listens in on their thoughts, only to realize that the couple plans on draining Bill's blood for sale on the black market. Sookie urges to Tara that they have to help Bill in which she refuses. Sam, in on the conversation, assures her that a vampire can take care of himself. When she notices the Rattrays have left with Bill, she runs to the parking lot, grabbing a heavy chain to use as a weapon. Sure enough, Mack & Denise have snared Bill using fine silver chains. Sookie sneaks up on them and smacks Mack in the head with the chain. When he turns on her with a knife, Sookie lounges an attack with the chain, which as if by magic, wraps itself around Mack's neck. Sookie picks up Mack's dropped knife and focuses on Denise, who collects her wounded husband and leaves, promising "This aint over." Sookie rushes to Bill's side and after freeing him from the chains, is shocked to watch his burns disappear before her eyes. Since he thanks her so gruffly, Sookie attempts to probe Bill's thoughts but discovers she cannot "hear" him in which she finds to be exhilarating. Bill asks Sookie "What are you?" since she doesn't seem to be frightened to be alone with a vampire in which she replies that she is a waitress, He asks her to keep his weakness to silver a secret, and she agrees before abruptly returns to work.

Sookie goes home to tell Gran about her meeting Bill, leaving the fight in the parking lot part out.

The next day Jason comes by the house to reprimand Sookie for fighting with the Rattrays. She shoots back that they were going to kill Bill and though Jason doesn't understand why she'd want to help a vampire she is able to shift the blame on Mack by saying he came after her with a knife. Over lunch, Gran answers a phone call and hears that Maudette was found strangled in her apartment. Jason seems angry and frightened by the news which catches Sookie's attention. She attempts to read his thoughts, but agitated he shrugs her off and leaves.

As Sookie puts on her makeup before work, Gran asks her whether she thinks Bill was around during the Civil War. Her historical group, the Descendants of the Glorious Dead, would certainly love to hear a first-person account of the war. Sookie, amused, promises to ask. She gets to Merlotte's just in time to hear all her co-workers discussing Jason's arrest.

In S1 E4 entitled "Escape From Dragon House", Sookie's investigation out in the bar isn't going anywhere, so when Bill shows up, she asks him to take her to a vampire bar called Fangtasia. after work so she can find some answers.
Across the room, sitting on a throne, a Nordic vampire named Eric takes notice of Bill and his guest and invites - more like commands - them to join him. Eric and his associate, Pam, take a brief look at the photos and tell Sookie that they've seen the women - and Eric has "tasted" Dawn. Sookie tries to thank them and leave, but Eric tells her he's not finished with her yet. But just as he starts to "catch up" with Bill, an image appears in Sookie's mind: A female vampire is feeding on a man in the bathroom, while an undercover police officer across the room waits anxiously for a raiding team to arrive. Sookie warns the vampires of the danger, and no sooner can Pam and Eric start to question her than the police barge through the door. "Follow me," Eric tells them, and with Sookie in tow, the vampires fly out through a secret door. Outside, before they part ways, Eric tells Sookie that it was a pleasure meeting her and that she will come again. It's not a request.

Upon entering the backdoor into the kitchen, Sookie promptly slips on something slick under her bare feet. When she turned on the light, she notices that it is blood and then gazes on the body of her grandmother lying on the floor.

After Gran's death, Tara and Lafayette attend to a numbed-out Sookie in her room after Sookie loses it in the kitchen, yelling at Maxine Fortenberry. Sam, Lafayette and Tara are extremely loyal friends of Sookie and will protect her at all costs. Sookie is also good friends with Arlene, Terry, Amy and Dawn.

The night of Gran's funeral, Sookie decides to act on her attraction to Bill and takes off running through the woods toward his house wearing an old-fashioned white nightgown.

Sookie seems a bit fragile when confronted with the serial killer and relies on help to be saved. Though she does end up saving herself by killing the serial killer.

Introduced in Dead Until Dark, Sookie is blond and has hazy blue-grey eyes. Wears a size 8, sometimes size 10 which suggests that she's on the curvy side. She states "...my legs are strong and my bosom is substantial, and I have a waspy waistline". She's quiet, keeps to herself, and doesn't get out much. She is a barmaid at Merlotte's and a telepath. She has worked at Merlotte's for the past two years. Her favorite past time is sun bathing. Dracula Night: Sookie is around 5'6".

Sookie refers to her unique ability as a disability, but the bar patrons just thinks she's crazy. Either way, the result is she almost never has a date. Touching accelerates Sookie's disability making it imperative that she "hear" the person touching. People couldn't admit to themselves that she had a gift so they had to think she was crazy.

Sookie has an older brother named Jason. Sookie's parents died in a flash flood when she was 7 yrs old and when Jason was 10. She has lived with her grandmother, Adele, every since their death. O positive blood type.

Sookie and Jason both make salaries, but they also have a little income from a fund established when an oil well was sunk on their parents' property. It played out in a few years but their parents and then Gran made sure the money was invested. That money saved them both a lot of struggle. Gran's income was not much more than social security. That was one reason why Sookie hasn't gotten her own apartment.

She encounters her first vampire customer, Bill Compton, in which she embraces with great interest and excitement.

Sookie never listens to Sam’s thoughts. He’s her boss. She’s had to quit jobs before because she found things she didn’t want to know about her boss.

Busy at work, Sookie loses track of Bill and when she next had a moment to check on him she notices Mack was looking at Bill with an expression that was so avid that she became worried. Moving closer to the table she listened to their thoughts and discovers the Ratts had been in jail for vampire draining. Goated by the look Mack gave her, as if she was negligible, she knew she had to act. Once outside, Sookie creeps in the direction of the end of the parking lot and soon she heard a groan and a faint sound of whispers. She leapt from behind the pickup thwacking Mack across the back. He turns on her with a knife and from swinging it around, the chain on its recoil wrapped around his skinny neck like a lover, forcing Mack to drop his knife to claw at the chains. Sookie swoops down and picks up the knife, holding it like she knows how to use it. Denise had been lounging forward, but stopped in her tracks when she sees Sookie has Mack’s knife. She cursed and railed and said terrible things. Sookie waited until she’d run down before telling her to “Get out now”. Denise stared holes of hate in Sookie’s head. She tried to scoop of the vials of blood but Sookie hissed at her to leave them alone. Denise then pulls Mack to his feet, kinda dragging him along to their car and shoved him in through the passenger side. Yanking some keys from her pocket, Denise threw herself into the driver’s seat. Realizing that they now have another weapon, faster than she’s ever moved Sookie ran to the vampire’s head and panted “Push with your feet”. She grabbed him under the arms and yanked back with all her might and he caught and braced his feet and shoved. They were just inside the treeline when the red car came roaring down at them. After giving herself a moment to catch her breath, Sookie looked over at the vampire and notices wisps of smoke coming up from his wrists where the silver touched them. She begins to unwind the thin bands of silver which all seem to be a part of one long chain. Sookie apologizes for not getting there sooner and asks him if he wants her to leave. He tells her no explaining that the drainers might come back and her he is not yet able to fight them. He thanks her stiffly—Sookie’s interpretation of a typical guy not thrilled about being rescued by a woman. Since he was being so ungracious, she felt she could do something rude too, so she “listened” to him. She surprisingly hears nothing.

Sookie’s room is right across the hall from Gran’s. When she first used the room after her parents had died, Gran had moved her bedroom furniture from their house so she would feel more homey.

Since their fight, the Ratts hadn't been back in Merlotte's, but Rene & Hoyt made sure Sookie knew they threatened her with horrible things. She wasn't seriously alarmed. They never made a positive mark on the world or amounted to hill of beans to her way of thinking.

Before going in to work Sookie decides to stop by Four Tracks Corner to get a glimpse at the damage that Bill caused and was shocked by what she saw. Shortly after her arrival, Mike Spencer and Bud Dearborn show up and begin to question her about her altercation with the Rattrays. They let her go on after she explains their quarrel was because she was saving Bill from being drained by them.

During her walk with Bill on the night he visits with her and Gran at their house, Sookie and Bill discover that she cannot be glamoured and that she can see Bill's skin glow. Sookie offers to call electricians for Bill the next day so he can have repairs done to the old Compton house.

Sam calls Sookie on her day off to work for Dawn from 5-9pm since she didn't make it in to work. Sookie explains to Sam how it is hard for her to keep her guard up from listening to other's thoughts. He invites her to listen in on his thoughts which she finds to be unique.

After work, she heads over to Bill's house with his list of contacts. Upon knocking on the door, she encounters female vampire, Diane.

Sookie never looked at Sam as a bed-able person, at least not bed-able by her. She keeps her hormones tamped down because sex for her is a complete disaster. She would be able to "hear" everything her partner is thinking and during sex there is no way to keep a mental guard up. Besides, she likes Sam for a boss and she likes her job.

Per Sam's request, Sookie goes to check on Dawn and remind her she is to be at work. Soon she is able to see through the slats of the blinds that she was on her back dead. Upon discovering Dawn's condition, she yells for Rene, who is awkwardly standing by his truck across the street, to call the police & Sam.

As Eric continues to stare at her, Sookie begins to feel "power tweaks" kind of flow over her and had an uneasy feeling Eric was trying to influence her.

After her evening with Sam, she enters the front door of the house to find all of the lights on. Gran doesn't respond to Sookie who starts searching the house for her whereabouts and also for the source of a faint copper odor. When she reaches the kitchen, she finds Gran dead and the source of the copper odor — Gran's blood.

As stipulated in her will Gran left her house, the 20 acres that surrounded it and the mineral rights to Sookie. Gran's money what there was was divided fairly among her and Jason. In order to retain full rights to Gran's house Sookie had to give up her half of them home their parents lived in.

Sookie stayed home for three days after the funeral. During that time, she cleaned out Gran's room with Arlene's help

Bill arrives a few nights after the funeral to check on Sookie and to comfort her. He does so by combing out Sookie's wet hair. She meets him at the door in a night shirt after a shower. Sookie notes to herself that she is no longer responding to Bill's action in terms of comfort, but as something sexual. She straddles him, and soon he picks her up and carries her to Gran's former bedroom.

Sookie's car is newer than Gran's but it's smaller.

Sookie back at work felt a little uncomfortable despite Bill's healing powers, but also felt powerful and incredibly smug.

Sookie received $20,000 from Uncle Bartlett's will. She almost turned it down, but instead Sookie decided to give it to the local mental health center ear marking it for the treatment of children who were victims of molestation & rape.

LDID: Upon seeing Andy too drunk to drive home, Sookie calls Portia to come pick him up. Bill asks Sookie if she could switch shifts at Melotte's with one of her co-workers because he needed her to accompany him to Sherveport in which Sam does not object. The next day when she arrives at work Sookie notices Andy's Buick's rear passenger door was slightly open. Attempting to prevent his battery from running down, she gets out of her car to shut his door. The door doesn't close so easily so

CD: The next day after hearing the news about Bill, Sookie does exactly what Bill requested of her in hiding his assignment for the queen.

DTTW: Shifter thoughts aren't easy to read. They're kinda snarly & red though every now and then you can catch a good glimpse of emotion. On her way home, Sookie sees Eric running along the road toward her house barefoot and shirtless. He didn't recognize her nor does he know who she is. Sookie convinces him it is safe to come home with her where she cleans him up. Sookie then calls Fangtasia to get ahold of Pam and let her know Eric's current state.

FD: At work, Sookie is in a bad mood. She is angry with her ex boyfriend, Bill, Jason had once again postponed helping her shift an armoire, and she got her property tax notice. While Bill is in New Orleans, LA, Sookie is picking up his mail. Claudine offers Sookie a job to come and listen to some humans- guest of her brother, Claude. Sookie had no idea that Claudine had a brother. When they arrive at Claudine and her brother house, Sookie notices that Claudine knocks in a pattern. When the door is opened, Sookie then finds out that Claudine's brother is also her twin. She is a bit hesitant to help until she finds out what's their purpose.

DN: Sookie gets an invitation to a party at Fangtasia to celebrate Dracula's birthday.

DAAD: Sookie can't read shifter minds as clearly as human minds, but can tell if a mood is true.

OWA: Sookie and Bubba are doing some late night yard work when a mysterious limousine pulls up. Mr. Cataliades informs her that he has a legacy for her. Legacy meant that someone had died. He goes on to tell her that the legacy is from her cousin Hadley. She had her high school junior picture in her photo album; that was the last picture she had taken because Hadley ran off her junior year. To Sookie, Hadley had been fun as a child and they'd been together a lot since Sookie had been a weird kid. Hadley & Jason had been the only children she had to play with for the most part. When Hadley hit puberty, the picture changed, but she still had some good memories of her cousin. Mr. Cataliades informs her that Hadley was a vampire and had been staked. Hadley & Jason are both 3 years older than Sookie. Hadley had been the Sookie's physical opposite in most ways. Sookie is robust and blond; Hadley was thin & dark; Sookie was strong; Hadley was frail.

DD: QSA tells Sookie story of how she was made because she took Hadley under her wing because she had been molested by her great uncle which is a horrid event they all shared. Hadley talked about Sookie often. Sookie ends up not being mad at the queen because "she can't help being the way she is and the queen didn't even know her". But she is mad at Bill because he did know her and went about her plan in a very thorough way.

Andre, the queen's second, tells Sookie she's part fae.

Bill Compton

True Blood

Portrayed by Stephen Moyer, Bill first appearing S1 E1 "Strange Love", is a 146 year old vampire. Bill goes in Merlotte's and instantly spots Sookie as she does him.

Bill is the first vampire customer at Merlotte's. When attempting to order a bottle of synthetic blood he is informed by Sookie that Sam ordered some a year ago, but no one ever ordered it so it went bad. He orders a glass of wine instead giving him a reason to be there. The Rattrays lean in to introduce themselves.

After luring Bill outside, Mack and Denise snare Bill using fine silver chains, which have burn their way into his skin, and begin draining him a pint at a time. Sookie sneaks up on them and smacks Mack in the back with the chain. When he turns on her with a knife, the chain as if by magic, wraps around his neck. Sookie picks up Mack's dropped knife and focuses on Denise, who collects her wounded husband and leaves promising "This aint over". Sookie rushes to Bill's side, and after freeing him from the chains, is shocked to watch his burns disappear before her eyes. He gruffly thanks her. He inquires about her asking "What are you?" since she seems to not be as squeamish as humans normally would be around vampires to which she replies her name and that she is a waitress.

In S1 E2, The First Taste, after healing Sookie on the walk back to her car Bill explains he was made vampire in 1865 and that he fought in the Civil War. Bill explains that he moved back to his original home town and ancestral home of Bon Temps, LA after old Jesse Compton passed away last year. He is attempting to live mainstream among humans. When asked by Sookie, we learn that beyond glamoring, he has no special abilities.

In S1 E5, "Sparks Fly Out", at the DGD meeting Bill describes his experience as a soldier in the Civil War and is presented with a picture of he and his family from the Mayor who found it in the city's archives.

What Bill doesn't relate to the DGD group meeting is how he broke into a home for food and water and met a mysterious widow who lived there. She does provide him with these things, but then she tries to seduce him. Bill rebuffs her advances. He promptly decides to leave at which time the widow bears her fangs and attacks Bill.

Bill experiences a nightmare where he sees someone trying to kill Sookie by choking her to death in her bed. He turns on a light to check his watch and growls in frustration that sunset hasn't happened yet. The camera pans back to show us his resting place beneath his house. Once the sun sets, he burst into Sookie's house, thus surprising Lafayette and Tara in the process, and races upstairs to wake Sookie from her Valium-induced slumber to ease his mind.

The night of Gran's funeral, he steps onto his porch and hears the sound of someone running. When he sees that it is Sookie, he runs into the yard to meet her, sweeps her off her feet and takes into his house where they make love for the first time.

When Eric summons Bill and Sookie to the bar to "read" the humans to see who stole money from the bar, Sookie only interviews one waitress. She can tell that the waitress knows something and can't remember it and can tell she has been glamoured. Longshadow attacks Sookie and Bill kills him.

Southern Vampire Mysteries

Introduced in Dead Until Dark, Bill is a 141 year old vampire described, by Sookie, as a little under 6 feet, with thick brown hair combed back brushing his collar, long sideburns curiously old-fashioned. He is pale with lips lovely and sharply sculpted, to Sookie his skin has a little glow, Arched dark brows, nose swooped down right out of that arch like a prince in a Byzantine mosaic, his eyes are even darker than his hair and the whites of his eyes are incredibly white. His voice is cool & clear like a stream over smooth stones. Living Dead In Dallas: about 5'10" with dark brown hair and eyes, broad shoulders & hard muscular arms of a man that has done manual labor for years. Club Dead: Glowing skin, thick, dark hair, broad shoulders, dark brown eyes. Dead to the World: Broad shouldered and lean from farming the land next to Sookie's and hard & tough from his years as a confederate soldier before his death in 1867. Bill's nose was straight off a Greek vase. His hair was dark brown and clipped close to his head and his eyes were just as dark. Definitely Dead: Brown eyes, which looked all the more darker in Bill's white face, hair brown too, Smooth & sleek, slim, broad shouldered, arms hard with muscles like the farmer he had been.

Upon finding Bill with the Rattrays, Sookie sees that Bill is on the ground on his back, his face contorted in agony, and a gleam of chains criss-crossed his wrists and ran down to his ankles—silver. There were two little vials of blood already on the ground beside Denise’s feet and as Sookie watched she fixed a new vacu-tainer to the needle. The tourniquet above his elbow dug cruelly into his arm. Sookie leaps from behind the pickup thwacking Mack across the back. He turns on her with a knife and from swinging it around, the chain on its recoil wrapped around his neck, forcing Mack to drop his knife to claw at the chains. Sookie swoops down and picks up the knife. Denise had been lounging forward, but stopped in her tracks when she sees Sookie has Mack’s knife. She cursed and railed and said terrible things. Sookie tells her to “Get out now”. Denise stared holes of hate in Sookie’s head. She tried to scoop of the vials of blood but Sookie hissed at her to leave them alone. Denise then pulls Mack to his feet, kinda dragging him along to their car and shoved him in through the passenger side. Yanking some keys from her pocket, Denise threw herself into the driver’s seat. Realizing that they now have another weapon, faster than she’s ever moved Sookie ran to the vampire’s head and panted “Push with your feet”. She grabbed him under the arms and yanked back with all her might and he caught and braced his feet and shoved. They were just inside the tree line when the red car came roaring down at them. The vampire cradled his arms to his chest while Sookie worked on the silver wrapped around his legs. His ankles had fared better since the drainers hadn’t troubled to pull up his jeans legs and put the silver against his bare skin. Sookie apologizes for not getting there sooner and asks him if he wants her to leave. He tells her no explaining that the drainers might come back and her he is not yet able to fight them. He thanks her stiffly.

Upon Bill’s return to Merlotte’s, Bill asks Sookie again “What are you?”. After she deliberately misunderstands his meaning, he goes on to place his order. Sookie asks if she can talk to him after work because she has a favor to ask him. He agrees and leaves shortly after.

During Bill's visit with Sookie and Gran, Bill informs them that his father's people were Comptons and his mother's people were Laudermilks. The last living Compton, Jesse, passed away the preceding year. Jesse's land reverted to Bill and since things have changed toward people of his particular persuasion, he decided to claim it. His folks had been in Bon Temps when it was just a hole in the road at the edge of the frontier.

During their walk, Bill tells Sookie that he plans on living on the Compton land as long as he can. He explains that he is tired of drifting from city to city. He grew up in the country and now that he has a legal right to exist he wants to stay. He'd been roaming for decades. He informs her that a vampires resting place is his most closely guarded secret.

Bill informs Sookie that he was made vampire in 1870 when he was 30 years old. He was married and had five children in his human life. His sister Sarah lived with them. She never wed. Her young man was killed in the war.

Bill likes to read and watch movies, but of course he follows their inception. He likes the company of people that lead ordinary lives. Sometimes he craves the company of other vampires though most of them live very different lives from his. Sometimes he likes television. For a while he taped soap operas and watched them at night when he though he might be forgetting what it was like to be human after a while he stopped because from the examples he saw on those shows forgetting humanity was a good thing. Sookie asks Bill to glamour her and they discover that not only he cannot glamour her, but that she can also see that his skin is glowing. When asked by Sookie, Bill shows her he can levitate. The two end their night with a kiss and he invites her to come by the following night if she didn't have to work.

When Sookie tells Bill about the news of Dawn's murder, he tells her that she came to his house the night the other vampires were there after Sookie had left. He says she's lucky she missed them because she was very confident in her ability to handle anything. Bill agrees to take Sookie to the vampire bar on her next night off.

Bill picks Sookie up in a black Cadillac that shines like glass. Sookie notices that Bill is partial to Kenny G.

Bill tells Sookie that Pam & Eric are older than him by centuries. Giving Sookie an out, Bill tells her that Eric is still looking at her and that he would try his glamour ion her if she were not "his". Bill later tells Sookie that Eric is breaking the rules even attempting to glamour Sookie after Bill told him that she is "his".

After hearing Sookie explain that there is going to be a raid through thought she picked up, the couple leave. Bill gives a sign to Eric to leave and Sookie gives Longshadow a sign to do the same.

At the DGD meeting, under the fluorescent lighting Bill looked much more unhuman than he did under the dim lighting in Merlotte's or equally dim lights in his own home. There was no way he could pass for a regular guy. His palor was very marked of course and the deep pods of his eyes looked darker & colder.

Bill plucks a screaming Sookie from the sight of her Gran's lifeless body. He advises her to call the police and explains that Gran gave him a ride home and insisted on coming with her to unload the car. He didn't see who killed her because he went home across the cemetery to change. She notices he's dressed in a "Grateful Dead" t-shirt and blue jeans. The t-shirt causes Sookie to break out into laughter momentarily through her pain.

A few days after the funeral, Bill comes to visit with Sookie. He comforts her by sitting with her and combing out her tangled wet hair. The soothing of this takes a turn to the hormonal side, Bill takes his cue from Sookie to advance their relationship to the next level.

When Eric summons Bill and Sookie to the bar to conduct interviews to see who is telling the truth about stealing money from the bar Sookie interviews more than one waitress. When she discovers the waitress has been"

LDID: Bill had worked a farm with his father and then for himself before he had gone to be a soldier in the Civil War. Bill Compton later discovers that the Bellefleurs are his descendants and provides the family with an anonymous fortune from a "deceased relative", knowing that they would be horrified if he were to tell them the truth of the connection.

CD: Bill is working on a secret database project for the queen of Louisiana that Eric or any of the Area 5 vampires must know about. He has been real distant toward Sookie. She tells him if he is so absorbed in his work that she'll just stay away until it's over. In reply he says "That would be best". Sookie, angry, storms off but he stops her and tells her "If anything happens to him she must look in the hiding place he built at her house (his computer & some disks should be in there). Don't tell anyone. If the computer is not there go to his house and see if its there. Come in the daytime and come armed. Get the computer and any disks she can find and hide them in his hidey hole. If he is not back in 8 weeks tell Eric everything he has said and place herself under his protection. He tells her he is going to Seattle (which she knew was a lie) and when he comes back then they will talk.

DTTW: Bill goes to Peru on the queen's orders to do more research on the computer database. He has an appointment to confer with a very old vampire in Lima who has a great fund of knowledge of those of his race on his continent. Also Bill plans to sight see while he is there. Bill explains to Sookie that the reason he went to Jackson is he couldn't help himself. He and Lorena were lovers long ago and she is the vampire that brought him over, they were together after that. They broke up about 80 years ago when they came to a point were they could no longer tolerate each other. He hadn't seen her since although her had heard of her doings of course. But he had to obey her summons. When your maker calls you must respond. Lorena ordered Bill to leave Sookie. Lorena said she would kill Sookie if he didn't. He approximates he'll be gone for about two weeks and they agree to speak when he returns.

FD: Bill is in New Orleans, LA. Sookie is picking up his mail.

DD: Bill's confession- "When your cousin Hadley was becoming the queen's favorite apparently Hadley talked about you and your ability a lot to impress the queen and keep her interests. And QSA knew I was originally from Bon Temps. On some nights I've wondered if she sent someone to kill the last Compton and hurry things along, but maybe he truly died of old age. She ordered me to return to my human home...to put myself in your way...to seduce you if I had to. She wanted your gift harnessed for her own use."

Sam Merlotte

True Blood

Portrayed by Sam Trammell, Sam, first appearing in S1 E1 "Strange Love", is the owner of Merlotte's Bar and Grille. Sam is first seen looking over at Sookie from behind the bar in kind of a "longing for" way. Although he is Sookie's boss, he seems to have a crush on her.

Sookie can hear his thoughts as clearly as anyone else's.

Sam tends to be somewhat territorial with Sookie concerning his feelings for her and his growing disapproval over her involvement with Bill. This is evident when Sam keeps encouraging Sookie to read his thoughts after their "date" to show for his sexually aggressive behavior towards her and his verbal anger towards Bill. Sookie gets angry and ends the date calling a taxi to get home.

Southern Vampire Mysteries

Introduced in Dead Until Dark, Sam is the owner of Merlotte's. Has Paul Newman blue eyes, blond but his hair is wirey and his blond is almost a sort of hot red gold, always a little sun burnt, looks slight in his clothes, but has plenty of upper body strength. LDID: Small and wirey in appearance but very strong, smallish man, reddish-gold hair, and true blue eyes. DN: Sam's hair: a red-gold halo and he's few inches taller than Sookie's 5'6". He's not a big guy but he's much stronger than a plain human his size since he's a shapeshifter. DAAD: Built lean, but stronger than he looks, in his 30s, reddish gold hair that halos his head.

Sookie lets Sam know that she is headed outside. He nodded, but he didn't look happy.

Rene tells Sam about Sookie's fight with the Ratts in which he pulls her into his office to chastise her. Through his touch, she discovered that he desired her and that she can't hear his thoughts as clearly as others (Sookie had waves of impressions of how he was feeling).

To the amusement of Arlene & Dawn, Sam had put in a yard and planted boxwood in front of his trailer, in which they constantly teased him about the neat line of his hedge.

Sam calls Sookie and asks her if she can go by Dawn’s place to see what she’s up to. She hadn’t been answering her phone or come in to work. The delivery truck had just pulled up and he had to be there to tell the guys where to put stuff. Reluctantly, Sookie agrees.

Sam is JB and Dawn's landlord. He owns all three duplexes on Barry St.

Sam uneasily asks Sookie if she would like to accompany him to the DGD meeting and have coffee afterwards in which she agrees. After the meeting, they went to the Crawdad Diner. Sookie wasn't hungry, but Sam had key lime pie with his coffee. Sam asks Sookie if she has has feelings for Bill in which she replies "yes". He proceeds to tell her how she has no future with Bill, but Sookie, on the defensive, shuts down Sam's warnings. Sam boldly tells Sookie that he likes her as friend and maybe something more sometime. Sookie takes this truth as him being threatened by her feelings for Bill and she decides that they go. Sam drops her off at home. Sookie, tripping out of Sam's truck, is caught by Sam, and they end up kissing. The pair part on fairly good, if not a bit awkward, terms.

Upon receiving a call from Terry per Sookie's request, Sam was at Sookie's house within 30 minutes, still wearing the clothes he wore to the meeting that night.

Sam had never seemed to join anything. Sam had been in Bon Temps for 6 years at that time and Sookie had never met anyone who seem to know about Sam's life prior to his buying the bar there.

LDID: Sam bartended at an anniversary party at the country club the night Andy becomes drunk in Merlotte's.

FD: Sam offered to accompany Sookie to the job she is to do for Claudine, but she declines.

DN: Sam was attempting to get an early start on tackling his own taxes even though he did that every year and every year he ended up calling the CPA and filing for an extension. Sam informs Sookie that he did not receive an invite to Dracula's birthday explaining they wouldn't invite many shifters anyway; maybe the local packmaster or some type of supe that done them a significant service like her.

DAAD: Owner, bartender, bouncer, and upon occasion the cook

STW: Sam was in the army for four years. He joined when he was 18. He had been accepted into college but didn't know what he wanted to do in life.

He played baseball & basketball. He's the first born. Dad passed away about 6 years ago leaving him a chunk a money in which he bought the bar with.

Jason is seen as an sexual partner of Maudette Pickens. He notices fang marks on the inside of her thigh and is instantly repulsed. Upon questioning her actions, Maudette reveals that she in fact had been involved with a vampire and had videotaped it their sexual act. To get back in his good graces she offers to play it for him. He is simultaneously turned on and revolted by the video she's playing for him: A homemade porn starring Maudette with a vicious looking vampire and a bondage hook hanging from her ceiling.The couple decide to re-enact the occurrence with Jason ad libbing and strangling Maudette and appearing to kill her. What he doesn't know is he is being secretly videotaped.

The next morning, Jason comes by the house to reprimand Sookie for fighting with the Rattrays after hearing about it from Hoyt Fortenberry. She shoots back that they were going to kill Bill, and although Jason detests Sookie's involvement with a vampire she is able to shift the blame on Mack when she adds that he came after with a knife. Over lunch, Gran gets a phone call and hears that Maudette was found strangled in her apartment. Jason seems angry and frightened at the news.

Later back at work, the police pull up to his road crew to question him about Maudette. Sheriff Bud Dearborne and Detective Andy Bellefleur feel him out before eventually telling him they found a videotape of him having sex with the victim the night of the murder.

Jason and Amy have one last round of 'V' induced sex when Amy is strangled to death while the two are asleep in bed together.

He hung around Hoyt Fortenberry & Rene Lenier.

Jason's truck is described as being black with custom aqua & pink swirls on the side. Jason loved to be noticed. Jason lives in he and Sookie's parents' old house, the one they'd been living in before they died in a flash flood. They'd lived with Gran after that. When Jason got through his two years of college and went to work for the state, he moved back into the house, which on paper is half Sookie's. Jason is also an appliance freak.

Sookie and Jason both make salaries, but they also have a little income from a fund established when an oil well was sunk on their parents' property. It played out in a few years but their parents and then Gran made sure the money was invested. That money saved them both a lot of struggle.

Upon noticing that the Ratts had left with Bill, Sookie slid down to Jason at the bar, who was sweeping Deanne off her feet, and asks for the chain in the back of his truck. Not exactly knowing what the situation is, he offers her help but Sookie declines.

Jason goes by Gran's to confront Sookie about not telling him about her fight with the Rattrays the night before after hearing about it from Rene. After hearing of the news of a vampire in Bon Temps, Jason is curious & excited.

The night of Gran's murder, Sookie tried calling Jason at four or five different places. Finally reaching him at Merlotte's, he came over to the house she and Gran shared as soon as he was contacted. When Sookie told Jason that Gran was dead, and dead by violence, he just looked at her. When the news finally sinks in, Jason abruptly sinks to his knees and Sookie comforts him by holding him.

Sookie eventually explains to Jason how she found their grandmother and why she thinks she was attacked. Jason suspects Bill, but Sookie quickly follows with the idea that anyone could have killed Gran. Not knowing what to do with his feelings, Jason angrily informs Sookie that Gran had left her house and land to Sookie alone. Enraged with the idea that Gran had been unfair, he steps in front of Sookie and slaps her viciously. Jason attempted to go after her again, but Bill was suddenly in front of her, crouched with his fangs out. Sam then tackled Jason and brought him down, and he may have whacked his face once for good measure.

Amy is simply a one night stand who records a sex session with Jason. She is later strangled to death and Jason is framed for the murder by the killer.

LDID: Jason, who'd not exactly welcomed Bill into their little family circle, had turned over a whole new leaf.

FDTW: Jason suspects Crystal of cheating and staged it so that Sookie & Calvin would catch her in the act.

Southern Vampire Mysteries

Introduced in Dead Until Dark, Andy is described as a detective in Bon Temps, has grey eyes and is a block of muscle, graduated before Jason.

During her questioning about Dawn, Sookie picks up on Andy's unspoken prejudice against her job and calls him out on it. She accidentally on purpose responds to a thought he hadn't verbally spoken which Andy finds fascinating that the stories about Sookie are true.

Detective Bellefleur took to hanging around the bar on his off hours never drinking more alcohol than one beer, but observing everything that took place around him. He always seemd to pick a table in Sookie's section and began to play a silent game with her. When she would come to his table, he would think of something provocative, trying to get her to say something. He didn't seem to understand how indecent that was. The provocation was the point; not the insult. He just wanted her to read his mind again.

LDID: Andy was as drunk as a skunk, which wasn't normal for Andy. The reason was due to him having to arrest a man that morning for kidnapping his 10 year old neighbor. He'd taken her to place in the woods and raped her. Upon hearing the reason for his gloomy mood, Sookie pours Andy another drink and calls Portia to come pick him up. When Portia arrives she can instantly see that Andy is "soused" and explains that it doesn't happen often but when he decides to tie one on, he does a good job. With help from Bill, Portia and Andy make it to her car and head home leaving Andy's car in Merlotte's parking lot. At some point between 8pm that evening and 10am the next morning, Andy's car acquired a new passenger. By all rights, Andy should have collected his car that morning but he's been too hung over to fool with getting Portia to run him over to the bar, which out of the way to the police station.

The Bellefleur siblings lived in a decaying, large, white, two story antebellum formerly quite a showplace on the prettiest street in the nicest area of Bon Temps- on Magnolia Creek Rd. Belle Rive was too much for Portia & Andy to maintain since the money to support such a home and its grounds was long since gone. But their grandmother, Caroline, stubbornly refused to sell.

When the body of Lafayette Reynold is found in his car in the Merlotte's parking lot the next morning, Andy himself becomes suspect.
He eventually follows his leads to Jan Fowler's cabin in the woods, where he encounters not only the orgy participants and Bill, Eric, and Sookie, but Callisto as well. Though the true murders die, enough evidence is left to exonerate Andy.

When asked by Sookie if Andy told him what happened to him, Terry tells her that Lafayette's neck had been broken and there had some evidence that he had been "messed with" which meant something violent and sexual to Terry.

Gran, waiting up for Sookie in her bedroom, was excited & curious about the news of Sookie's vampire customer and is interested in meeting him. Adele enjoyed new things as much as Sookie did. She wasn’t one of those reactionaries who decided vampires were damned right off the bat.

Sookie and Jason both make salaries, but they also have a little income from a fund established when an oil well was sunk on their parents' property. It played out in a few years, but their parents and then Gran made sure the money was invested. That money saved them both a lot of struggle. Gran was determined not to sell any land, but her own income is not much more than social security.

Once they gain his trust, the couple lures him outside. Mack & Denise ensnare Bill using fine silver chains, which have burned their way into his skin, and begin draining him.

Sookie sneaks up on them and smacks Mack in the back with a silver linked chain. Mack turns on her with a knife and in haste Sookie swings the chain, which as if by magic, wraps itself around his neck. Picking up the knife Mack dropped, Sookie turns it on Denise telling her to leave without the blood. Denise tells Sookie "This aint over" and begins to take off with her struggling husband running behind after her. Making a last minute attempt for revenge, Denise floors the couple's red dented sports car in the direction of where Bill lies yelling out "I'll get you bitch!" as she takes off. Sookie aids him by shuffling to drag him out of the way.

Southern Vampire Mysteries

Mack, first introduced in Dead Until Dark, advising Bill not to mind Sookie because she's crazy. Referred to as "the Ratt couple", Mack and his wife Denise had been in Merlotte's almost every night. From Sookie's perspective Mack & Denise had done their best to make her miserable every since they moved into the rented trailer at Four Tracks Corner. Referred to as "the Ratt couple", Mack and his wife Denise had been in Merlotte's almost every night. When they first came into the bar, out of boredom, Sookie read their minds. She found out they've been in jail (at that time she didn't find out why), heard Mack's nasty thoughts about her, and found out Denise had abandoned a baby two years ago years before that wasn't Mack's. They didn't tip either.

The couple owned a dented red sports car.

In Sookie's opinion, Denise wasn't truly pretty, but she was flashy and confident it took a while to figure that out.

The couple eventually move over to Bill's table and Denise flirts with him and attempts to seduce his blood lust.

Moving closer to the table, Sookie listened to their thoughts and discovers the Ratts had been in jail for vampire draining.

The couple eventually lure Bill outside. Once Sookie gets outside she sees that they have him bound by silver on the ground. They had already drained two vials of blood from him and had began fix a new vacu-tainer to the needle. Their backs were to her and enraged by Mack's contemptous dismissal and the fact that he never left her tip, she attacked him first. She leapt out from behind the pick up swung the chain and it thwacked across his back. He screamed and jumped up. After a glance Denise set about getting the third vacu-tainer plugged. Mack's hand dipped down to his boot and came up shining, he had a knife in his hand. She swung at him at the same time he slices at her arm and just misses her, but the chain on it's recoil wrapped around his skinny neck like a lover.
Mack’s yell of triumph turned into a gurgle. He dropped the knife and clawed at the links with both hands. Losing air, he dropped to his knees on the rough pavement, yanking the chain from Sookie’s hand. Sookie swoops down and picks up the knife, holding it like she knows how to use it. Denise had been lounging forward looking like a redneck witch in the lines and shadows of the security lights. She stopped in her tracks when she sees Sookie has Mack’s knife. She cursed and railed and said terrible things. Sookie waited until she’d run down before telling her to “Get out now”. Denise stared holes of hate in Sookie’s head. She tried to scoop of the vials of blood but Sookie hissed at her to leave them alone. Denise then pulls Mack to his feet. He was still making choking, gurgling sounds and holding the chain. Denise kinda dragged him along to their car and shoved him in through the passenger side. Yanking some keys from her pocket, Denise threw herself into the driver’s seat. Using their car as a means for a weapon, the red vehicle came roaring down at them. Denise missed them by less than a yard when she had to swerve to avoid hitting a pine.

SInce their fight, the Ratts hadn't been back in Merlotte's, but Rene & Hoyt made sure Sookie knew they threatened her with horrible things. She wasn't seriously alarmed. Criminal trash like the Ratts roamed the highways and trailer parks of America, not smart enough or moral enough to settle down to productive living. They never made a positive mark on the world or amounted to hill of beans to Sookie's way of thinking.

Portrayed by Rachel Evan Wood, first appearing in S2 E11, entitled "Frenzy", Sophie-Anne Leclerq, described as originally from France, was the Vampire Queen of Louisiana, a 500 year old vampire. The character is described as charming, wily, ruthless and wise. With one foot in the old world and one in the new, she rules all vampires in the state of Louisiana, engages with Kings and Queens from other states. Brilliant and far-sighted, she is a consummate diplomat, politician and adversary. Incredibly cultured, has known many of history’s most famous people personally — as well as had affairs with many of them — she is entertaining, funny, dangerous and delightful. She commands Eric to make Lafayette sell V in order to keep her fortune from running out, despite vampire taboos against humans drinking their blood, and against the V trade in general. Her human lover, Hadley, is Sookie's cousin. She is seen as very cold and unforgiving and also having the personality of a spoiled child. But she is very powerful and full of useful information about supernatural creatures. Sophie-Anne is forced in to a marriage of convenience with Russell Edgington who wishes to possess her territory. Hadley informs Sophie-Anne of Sookie's ability at some point before the series and she subsequently sent Bill Compton to Bon Temps to seduce her and procure her for Sophie-Anne. In doing this, Bill allowed The Rattrays to beat Sookie within an inch of her life so Bill can feed her his blood. When Sookie angrily throws Bill out after discovering this, he blames Sophie-Anne. He lures her to his home and tells her only one of them will leave alive. The pair fight briefly, only for Bill to reveal armed forces who were hiding inside the house the entire time. After calling him a traitor, Sophie-Anne is violently gunned down and killed with wooden bullets by the armed forces who are revealed to be Nan Flanagan's. Flanagan thanks Bill for his cooperation, and it is shown that Sophie-Anne's death was apart of a deal made between Bill and Flanagan, whom she makes the Vampire King of Louisiana.

Southern Vampire Mysteries

First mentioned in Club Dead as to who Bill's secret database work is being done for. Lives in New Orleans. She is truly introduced in the short story One Word Answer, described as vampire queen of Louisiana; a beautiful woman, pale as milk, with reddish brown hair, large and tilted brown eyes. ATD: small, extremely pale, shining brown hair swept up in a chignon. As described by Sookie, QSA may have been 15 yrs old when turned, an elegant woman perhaps 4 inches shorter than Sookies' 5'6'. Groomed down to the last eyelash: make up, dress, hair, stockings, jewelry, the whole 9 yards.

DD: Sophie-Anne explains that her life began in what became Northern France, Lartherenga perhaps, about 1,100 years ago where she spent the first twelve years of her life. Her mother was the wife of the wealthiest man in the town, meaning he had two more pigs than anyone else. QSA's name then was Judith. When she was 10 or 12 years old a peddler came into their town with an illness (thinks now it was some type of influenza) that never came to them before. Within two weeks of his stay everyone in her village were dead except for her and a boy who was some what older. Clovis, for some reason she can't remember why, didn't like her and began to rape her and take her to the next town to offer her for money or food. The flu traveled across their region but they never got sick. When they were camped in the woods a vampire, Alain who had been a priest, got him. Alain looked at her as a suitable companion. She traveled with him for about three years or more. He promised to bring her over but when he needed money for clothes or food for her he began offering her just as Clovis had done. She grew tired of his empty promise. Alain was caught in a town he had visited before by a priest that knew him for what he was and held captive. Judith is left unbound as she is clearly human and a victim of Alain's abuse so she sneaks into the hut he is being held in and bargains with him to be turned in exchange for her setting him free when she rises. Alain begins the process, but the village priest returns from a trip while she remains buried in the earth. Alain is killed before she awakens.She wanders alone for a few years until she finds a younger boy being abused and turns him for companionship. Andre becomes her devoted servant and lover for centuries.
She meets Hadley Delahoussaye Savoy and begins an affair with he, eventually turning her. Hadley tells Sofie Anne of her pas, including tales of the unusual abilities of her cousin Sookie, setting in motion the chain of events that sends Bill to Bon Temps in the service of his queen.
Sophie-Anne arranges a political marriage with Peter Threadgill, the King of Arkansas, but Peter has plans to take over her holdings by proving that she has given another lover one of his wedding gifts- a diamond bracelet actually stolen by Hadley in a fit of jealousy. When Sookie finds the bracelet and returns it to Sophie-Anne in time for her spring party, Peter starts a war anyway, leading to the defeat of the Arkansas vampires and his own death at Andre's hands.
Her territory in Louisiana, and especially the lucrative city of New Orleans, is highly coveted among other vampire monarchs.

ATD: It is said that she also has the ability to speak to her children telepathically. The vampires made by Sophie-Anne tend to be fanatically devoted to her and freely confess that they remain with Sophie-Anne out of love, rather than coercion, or exploitation of the maker-offspring bond. One of her unique abilities is to remain close with the vampire "children" over hundreds and thousands of years. She can also communicate telepathically with her children, although the limits of this ability are never clearly defined. Sophie-Anne faces trial for the death of her husband at the summit in Rhodes. She is found innocent and granted the kingdom of Arkansas. Her relief is short lived, as she is badly injured in the bombing, losing both her legs.

FDTW: Sophie-Anne is still trying to recover when Felipe de Castro wages his campaign to take over Louisiana and Arkansas. During the Nevada vampire takeover, Queen Sophie Anne and her remaining sheriffs except for Eric are killed. However, a fabricated story of her dying from complications of Sino Aids, the only disease that can cross from human to vampire, had been published.

Claude & Claudine explain to Sookie that they are certain that Claudette is dead because she came to them in spirit form and told them. That is the death ritual for their race; like a final farewell. No body is left since they fade. When fairies fade they leave behind fairy dust (glittery stuff as described by Jeff Puckett). Claudette and Barry the barber had been having sex for a while until one day Claudette up and ended it. She told him, in so many words, that he was inadequate.

Rita, owner of Hooligan's, hated Claudette because she was going to leave to go to another strip club and Claude was going to go with her. Claudette wasn't so willing to use her power for Rita's profit as her brother Claude who didn't think about it twice. After more questioning, Sookie determines that Rita killed Claudette using a lemon laced money pouch. Claude explains that Claudette was especially susceptible to the smell; even the the lemon scent would make her vomit. She had a terrible time on wash day until they found out the fabric sheets were lemon scented.
