Character List- The Vampires

Names in Red denote Present only in the books...


Alexei Romanov

Introduced in Dead in the Family, the character is the vampire incarnation of the historical prince Alexei Nikolaevich, the last Tsarevich of Russia. He was sired by Appius Livius Ocella, thus, making him Eric Northman's vampire "brother". He was spoiled while alive due to his hemophilia and his royal position, and was psychologically scarred by the massacre of his entire family.

After Ocella made him a vampire, he was obligated to become Ocella's lover. The combination of factors made Alexei mentally unstable and uncontrollable even decades after becoming a vampire.

Alexei meets the final death by the hand of Eric.

Andre Paul

Andre is queen Sophie-Anne's second in command and her vampire "offspring" and her lover. Sookie considers him very frightening and, at one point, makes an attempt to force her to drink his blood in order to have more control over her as she is his Queen's employee. At this point Eric steps in and Sookie drinks his blood instead. Andre is staked by Quinn in order to free Sookie of his malign control.

Appius Livius Ocella

Introduced in Dead in the Family, he was Eric Northman's maker. He lured Eric by feigning injury at the side of the road and obliged Eric to be his lover after changing him. In the early 20th century, to express his dislike of the Bolsheviks, he converted the last heir of the Russian royal family, but Alexei proved to be a difficult vampire "child". It is possible that he does not exist at all in the TV series True Blood, as Eric's maker was changed to Godric.

Bubba

Bubba is Elvis Presley in vampire form. A morgue attendant who was a vampire and a big fan discovered the King slightly alive. The misguided vampire decides to make the overdosed Elvis undead, but the resulting creature, answering only to “Bubba”, is brain damaged by or before the process. The other vampires treat him as a dimwitted errand boy and try to keep him out of the public and clear of any household pets, as he likes to drink the animals' blood (cats being a particular favourite). Bubba is always cheerful, goodwill radiating from his fearsome smile. (But never call him Elvis.) He will sing only when he feels like it. In the third novel, Club Dead, Sookie says that “though every now and then, he exhibited a streak of shrewdness” he follows directions quite literally.

Bubba (vampire): No real first or last name given. Also known as the Man from
Memphis, Bubba has a famous face and an even more famous voice. When he was
taken down to the morgue on that August evening in 1977, one of the morgue
attendants was not only a vampire but also a huge fan. Detecting a faint spark of
life, the attendant hastily brought him over. Unfortunately, the drugs that had
plagued him in life made his transition less than perfect. He is a loyal soldier who
will follow orders to the letter, but he is not capable of much independent thought.
His fans in the vampire world try to keep him hidden and protected. He doesn’t
always remember to stay out of sight when left on his own, so the public does get
an occasional glimpse of the real thing. Bubba gets upset when called by his birth
name, answering only to his nickname. He prefers not to feed on human beings and
survives on a diet of animal blood, mainly cats—an aberration in the vampire
world—and synthetic blood.

Bill introduces Bubba to Sookie, and Bubba often looks after her, sometimes
successfully, sometimes not. Bubba is fond of Bill.

He is drawn into the plot to assassinate Victor by being the bait used to lure the
Elvis fan to Fangtasia. Although reluctant at first, he agrees when Bill is called to
convince him that it is necessary. He does his job the following night, captivating
his audience (for the most part) and distracting Victor before the attack. Upset by
the carnage happening around him, Bubba is taken to safety by Bill. (DUD, CD,

Chow Lin

(born 1860, made vampire 1901) lived a solitary life in small village in Central China, working as a carpenter. The only joy in his life came from watching the widow next door, for whom he pined for over 10 interminable years. When a vampire attacked her at night on a lonely street, he offered his life for hers. The vampire accepted and made Chow a vampire. Chow thought he’d finally won the woman’s affections, but instead, she recoiled, leaving him to an eternity of loneliness.

Chow is a member of Louisiana's Area Five vampire district. He is an Asian vampire with a small build and long black hair. He is no more than five foot seven and every inch of his visible skin (except for his face) is covered with intricate yakuza tattoos. He acts as a bartender in Fangtasia some nights, and sits around other nights to let patrons approach him. He is first introduced in the second book, Living Dead in Dallas, as a replacement of Fangtasia’s former bartender, Longshadow. Chow is killed in the fourth book, Dead to the World, when fighting against the coven of witches. Chow is portrayed by Patrick Gallagher in the True Blood series.

Chow (vampire): No last name given. With his tattoo-covered body, Chow,
bartender and part owner of Fangtasia, is quite a draw for the tourists who frequent
the bar. When given Hallow’s terms by the young witch acting as messenger, he
angrily attacks, causing the spell attached to the witch to activate and poofing Eric
from the office. Chow pays the ultimate price during the Witch War, succumbing to
his final death at the hands of a witch with a wooden knife. (LDID, CD; dies DTTW;
mentioned DAAD)

Godric (aka Godfrey) (RIP)

While "Godric" was this character's real name, he went by the name "Godfrey" for his last hundred years. Godric was an ancient and immensely powerful vampire who became a "renouncer"—a vampire who rejects his vampiric status. He allied with the anti-vampire sect, The Fellowship of the Sun, and decided to commit suicide by "meeting the sun". While he appeared to be a fresh-faced, blond-haired sixteen-year old with pale blue eyes, he was actually over two thousand years old. His body was covered with ancient blue runic tattoos dating from Roman times.[2] Godric was a killer, particularly of children, whose enormous guilt and grief made his "existence turn sour on him", so he approached the Fellowship of the Sun, and they were only too eager to assist in his suicide. He saves Sookie from being raped and she, in return, convinces him not to kill himself as part of a Fellowship publicity and recruitment ceremony, but to instead end his life on his own terms.

Danish actor Allan Hyde portrays Godric on the HBO's television series True Blood. In the TV series, Godric is Eric Northman's maker. In the books, Eric's maker is a Roman Vampire named Appius Livius Ocella.

Godric/Godfrey (vampire): No last name given. Just a teenager when he was
turned centuries ago, tattooed Godric—or Godfrey, as he has been known for the
past century—has decided that vampires are an abomination. He himself is far too
fond of children, in a very unhealthy way. Believing that only his death will stop
him from continuing to sin, he has allied himself with the Fellowship of the Sun. He
plans to meet the sun in a ritual. He lures Farrell into the hands of the Fellowship
so Farrell will die with him. Godfrey reluctantly saves Sookie from Gabe and helps
her escape. Although the Fellowship of the Sun is thrown into a panic and cancels
their morning ceremony, Godfrey carries through with his own plans. He meets the
dawn while Sookie bears witness, believing that in his repentance he will see the
face of God. (Dies LDID)

Golden, Phoebe (vampire): The Queen of Iowa, Phoebe is married to the King
of Ohio, and both attend the summit at Rhodes. (ATD)

had to be staked after being infected by maenad Phryne’s madness at the
Halloween Massacre of 1876 in St. Petersburg. (Deceased; mentioned LDID, DITF)

Griesniki, Milos (vampire): A recent immigrant from the old country, Milos
Griesniki gets a job bartending at Fangtasia and immediately begins to pry into the
financial matters of Eric and the bar. When Eric calls for the Lord of Darkness to
reveal himself at Fangtasia’s Dracula Night party, Milos claims to be Vlad Tepes III,
aka Dracula, and announces that he plans to stay on at Fangtasia for a year,
expecting not only tribute, tithe, and vampire servants but also fresh blood from
the source, with Sookie being his first meal. He attempts to glamour Sookie to obey
him but is tricked by her into revealing his lack of knowledge of the burial place of
the real Dracula. Staked by Sookie, Milos flakes away even as Eric and Pam defend
her actions to the other attending vampires, stating that, as Milos was not really
Dracula, it was he who committed a crime by pretending to be their founder, not
Sookie. (Dies DN)

Heidi (vampire): No last name given. Heidi, a superior tracker, is sent to
Shreveport by Victor to spy on Eric. When fairies and a body are scented by the
Weres in Sookie’s woods, Heidi arrives to try to sort it all out. She informs Sookie
that two fairies, many werewolves, and one vampire have been traipsing around,
and that two bodies, one killed very recently, are buried on the land.
Heidi talks of her son, now grown and drug addicted, living in Reno, and is
surprisingly gentle and careful with Hunter, kneeling to speak to him on his level
and spelling out words she doesn’t want him to understand. When Eric offers to
allow her to move her son to Shreveport, she readily accepts and gives her loyalty
to her new sheriff, taking his side against Victor in the assassination. (DITF, DR)

Hermosa, Rubio (vampire): Rubio finds a new home in Area Five after fleeing
Katrina, living together in a nest in Minden with Parker and Palomino. The
threesome are summoned to participate in the assassination of Victor, and Rubio
does his part by staking Luis. (DR)

Indira (vampire): No last name given. Tiny Indira puts in her time at Fangtasia,
content that servitude with Eric does not require sexual favors unless she is so
inclined. She is among the select vamps Eric calls to Fangtasia for the attack on
Victor, and she does her part by first emasculating and then staking the new
bartender, Jock, a former employee of Victor who’s still loyal to his old boss.
(DAAD, ATD, DR; mentioned DD)

Isaiah (vampire): No last name given. King of Kentucky Isaiah finds a
Fellowship of the Sun spy in his retinue. Based on information tortured out of her,
he is convinced the Fellowship of the Sun will attack the summit. He hires

and is chosen to preside over her trial for the death of Peter Threadgill. He survives
the disaster thanks to the Britlingens. (ATD)

Jock (vampire): No last name given. New Fangtasia employee Jock worked for
Victor in Reno before moving to Shreveport to tend bar after Felicia’s death. He is
there to take up her role as a spy. He is on the job when Bubba sings for Victor and
naturally fights on Victor’s side. Although he is emasculated by Indira during the
melee, he still manages to stun her with a blow to the head. He is distracted by
Sookie before he can continue his attack, giving Indira time to recover and stake
him. (Dies DR)

Jodi (vampire): No last name given. Vampire Jodi breaks off one of fellow
vampire Michael’s canines with pliers while he sleeps after he abducts and tortures
the sister of one of her human employees. Sued by Michael and brought before

Franklin Mott (RIP)

Vampire and Tara's companion/Sugar Daddy. He is described as having iron gray hair and mustache. Sookie thinks he must have been in his fifties or early sixties when he was turned into a vampire. She describes him as being “vigorous and very masculine” and having an Italian accent. In book 5, "Dead as a Doornail", he dumps Tara and puts her up as a debt payment to Mickey. He is played by actor James Frain in the HBO series, "True Blood". Franklin on the show seems to be an amalgamation of Mickey and Franklin Mott. On the show he is a crazy Vampire who works as a Vampire private investigation in the service of the King of Mississippi who fixates on Tara and discovers Bill kept a file on Sookie.

Franklin is killed by Jason Stackhouse

Judith Vardamon

Introduced in Dead in the Family, she was sired by Lorena to try and keep Bill to stay at her side, since she looked like his late wife. She is later contacted by Sookie Stackhouse and heals Bill of his silver poisoning.

Lorena Ball (Krasiki) (RIP)

Vampire and Bill Compton's maker and one-time lover. She is first introduced in the third book, Club Dead. She summoned Bill to Mississippi and captured him in order to steal his secret project for the queen of Louisiana. Even though she is killed by Sookie when trying to rescue Bill, she is mentioned in subsequent novels. She is portrayed as being blonde and having brown eyes and a smaller build than Sookie's. [3] In subsequent books, Sookie learns that Bill was going to leave her because Lorena had ordered him to do so. Mariana Klaveno portrays Lorena in HBO's television series True Blood, in which her name is changed to Lorena Krasiki. In her biography it is stated that she is 250 years old. In the show, Bill suggests that she had a violent relationship with her maker, engaging in his evil lusts. It is further suggested she may have been a prostitute or at least posed as one to get victims for her maker.

(born 1759, made vampire 1777) was the illegitimate child of an unmarried lady-in-waiting to Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, who arranged for the bastard child to be raised by the Nuns of the Ursuline Convent in Vienna. Lorena was a well-behaved child and model student, although as a lover of nature she would spend hours roaming the countryside gathering flowers, telling the sisters who admonished her, “God is not just in these walls. God is in the world.” As fate would have it, the evening before she was to take her vows to join the order herself, she stayed out after dark and was turned by a Gypsy vampire named Istvan.

In the books, Lorena was made by a Vampire called Solomon who met Lorena when she was a prostitute in New England. The two were sort of ignorant about how to be Vampires and they search out others of their kind to learn how to be Vampires and they are very successful. Finally though, one night they have a falling out and part ways.

Ball, Lorena (vampire): Lorena Ball is working as a prostitute in New Orleans
when she meets Solomon Brunswick in 1788. Fascinated when Solomon drains a
customer whose throat she slit for not paying, she has Solomon turn her and travels
with him for a time. She eventually betrays her sire, pretending to be human when
she is caught with a dead child she is draining and blaming the death on Solomon,
and they go their separate ways.

Lorena sees Bill after he returns home from the Civil War and falls in love as
she spies on him and his family. She takes him by surprise one night and fakes his
death so that she can have him as a companion and lover. She compels him to stay
with her, even going so far as to create a companion for him by turning a woman
who resembles his lost wife. Though she finally allows her children to leave her,
she calls Bill back again after eighty-odd years when she learns of his profitable
vampire database. When she cannot seduce its location from him, she resorts to
torture to get not only the database but also the name of the woman Bill is involved
with. Lorena attacks Sookie while she is rescuing Bill and meets her final death at
Sookie’s hands. (Dies CD; mentioned DTTW, DAAD, ATD, DITF, DR)

Luisa Ella Prescott

(born 1801, made vampire 1821) born into a poor family in Kentucky, was a tough, independent-minded girl from the beginning. In 1819, she opened a safe-house for slaves who had joined the Underground Railroad. Risking severe punishment and death, she helped free up to three hundred slaves, until one of them turned on her and turned her in 1821.

She is the Magister's Enforcer.

Mickey

Vampire: a mean-spirited man who prefers the old ways. He is depicted in the novels as slim with narrow shoulders and slicked-back hair. He has long fingernails and a sharp face. Sookie describes his eyes as "cold and hostile as a snake’s.”

Hadley Delahoussaye

Sookie’s only cousin, Hadley is introduced posthumously in Charlaine Harris’ 2005 short story "One Word Answer". In her human years, Hadley was popular in high school, a cheerleader and even Miss Bon Temps. She got involved with drugs and prostitution during her junior year of high school and ran away to New Orleans. In the short story, Sookie learns that Hadley was turned into a vampire by the Queen of Louisiana, Sophie-Anne Leclerq. Waldo, a vampire who was jealous of Hadley's position as a favorite of the queen, staked Hadley. In the sixth book, Definitely Dead, Sookie goes to New Orleans to deal with Hadley's estate. She learns that Hadley was once married and divorced, and that she had originally informed the queen about Sookie's mindreading ability. In From Dead to Worse, Sookie learns that Hadley also gave birth to a child, now being raised by her ex-husband. The child, Hunter, also has mind-reading skills.[4] In HBO's television series True Blood, Hadley is portrayed by Lindsey Haun. In the show, Hadley is sent to Sookie by Eric to warn her that Russell Edgington is coming after Sookie and and not to trust Bill. Her departing thoughts warn Sookie that Hadley was the one who told the queen that she was a telepath and a fae.

Kristin Bauer van Straten portrays vampire Pam in HBO's television series True Blood.

Pam in the books was turned Vampire by Eric. He saw her going back to her house after an assignation with a cousin's friend. Eric caught her, made her, laid her in her own bed and her family buried her, thinking she was dead. Eric then dug her up from her grave and explained what he had done to her.

Talbot is his steady human companion.[5] In Dead as a Doornail, the fifth book, Sookie learns that he collects the "unusual".[6] In the seventh novel, All Together Dead he marries the King of Indiana, Bartlette Crowe, and it appears to be a love match (marriages between vampire kings and queens are usually political unions and not a union of love). Actor Denis O'Hare portrays the vampire king of Mississippi in the third season of True Blood. On the show, Russell is a 2800 year old Vampire of ancient celtic stock and may have been a Druid. He uses werewolves as his private army. He overthrows Sophie Anne and forces the Magister to marry them and then kills the Magister. He has a royal consort, a Vampire named Talbot whom he turned 700 years ago. Apparently when Eric was still human, Russell and his weres killed Eric’s family and stole his father’s crown and Eric swore revenge against Russell. To humans, he is a wealthy antiques dealer.

Telepath Barry (the bellboy) Horowitz works for him after discovering, in the second novel, that another telepath lives in Dallas. In the seventh book, All Together Dead, Stan became King of Texas. Ed Quinn portrays Stan Davis in HBO's television series True Blood. In the show, Stan is not a sheriff, just one of Godric minions and he is killed in the bombing of Godric’s lair.

Davis, Stan (vampire): The former Stanislaus Davidowitz has been working his
way through the vampire hierarchy, first controlling Area Six in Texas as sheriff
and then taking the entire state as king. While still sheriff, he wins a lawsuit in
human court against his neighbors, who are suing to have vampires barred from
their community, and then becomes a sympathetic figure as he, his vampires, and
the humans at his home suffer several casualties when they are attacked by
members of the Fellowship of the Sun during what becomes known as the Dallas
Midnight Massacre.

King Stan attends the summit in Rhodes even though Texas is not part of the
clan holding the event, as he is proposing a business arrangement with
Mississippi’s Russell for a resort development. Unfortunately for Stan, he is badly

A fervent believer in the necessity of the Spanish Inquisition, he became one of the more feared “inquisitors” in Seville and oversaw countless trials and executions, including some of his own relatives. When made vampire against his will, as retribution for his role in the Counter-Reformation, he turned his misfortune into an opportunity to continue to pursue the same goals he had in life: rooting out subversives and heretics to uphold the common good. Posing as a human for centuries, he served as an advisor to Stalin and s Eichmann’s right-hand man, then shortly after World War II he was tapped to be Vampire Magister of North America, where he relishes his power to implement the laws of his own kind for eternity.

her. The village priest returns before she can rise to free Alain, and he meets the

Cyndee brings the Bureau of Vampire Affairs down on the bar when she promises

annoyed that he must deal with an investigation. Cyndee is fired, of course, which
is Eric’s only legal recourse. (Mentioned STW)

Dustin (vampire): No last name given. Unschooled in being a vampire because
