History Characters / TrueBloodMainFairiesAndOthers

* HiddenVillain: For a long time, his identity was a mystery and he was only seen in dark shots as a man with a ZZ Top beard and NiceHat. He's later revealed to be Ben.

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Vendetta towards Lilith aside, his reasoning for not killing Nial (so he can continue his lineage), killing Sookie's parents, and claims of being TheAtoner when trying to woo Sookie; ultimately this rings hollow as his idea of marriage towards Sookie is them consntantly feeding on eachother and having sex throughout eternity, all the while being suddenly agressive and abusive towards her.]]

* BadassGrandpa: He breaks through a dimension to kill Warlow! And he's also one of the oldest characters on the entire show, surpassed only by Warlow and Lilith.
* CoolOldGuy: He's snarky, he's stoic, he's awesome.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Although it's unclear how much of a Kingdom he has.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: To Jason.

%%* TragicMonster
%%* WouldNotHurtAChild

The vampire who attacked and killed Corbett and Michelle Stackhouse. Later revealed to be a powerful faerie-vampire hybrid. He seeks to take possession of Sookie Stackhouse for unknown reasons. This reason being to turn her into a vampire as well. He killed Sookie's parents to prevent them from killing her for being a fairy.

* {{Badass}}: He breaks through a dimension to kill Warlow!
** BadassGrandpa: And he's also one of the oldest characters on the entire show, surpassed only by Warlow and Lilith.

->''"Feeling sorry for things is just an excuse not to celebrate your own happiness."''

A wealthy maenad, who initially presents herself as a social worker. Drawn to Bon Temps due to the potent energy she attributes to a ritual performed by a faux voodoo doctor, she takes an interest in Tara and has Tara move in with her. She is devoted to Dionysus and intends to find a suitable supernatural creature to kill in his honor, hoping to bring him to earth once again.

%%* AffablyEvil
* AlienBlood: Because she's not even remotely human.
* BigBad: Of Season 2.
* BigEater: Even though she didn't need to feed on normal food she would consume copious amount of tropical fruit and other delicacies.
%%* BitchInSheepsClothing
* BlackBlood: Oh yes, she definitely has black blood.
* BloodyMurder: She didn't use it as a weapon, but her black blood was highly poisonous to vampires (and probably to humans too).
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: To those who don't know what she really is.
%%* DeathByIrony
* DeathSeeker: All maenads.
* EmotionControl: Aside from feeding on them.
* EmotionEater: She fed on strong displays of emotions like anger, desire, hunger and et cetera.
* TheFundamentalist: She takes her devotion to Dionysus ''very seriously''
* HairTriggerTemper: After her parties, she tends to get pretty bitchy and irritable.
* TheHedonist: Her entire philosophy of life is based around immediate gratification, usually in a pretty depraved way.
* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By Her Own Petard]]: Her blind faith in her religion led to her death.
* HumanoidAbomination: Possibly. According to Daphne, Maryann has been alive as long as there's been an Earth to walk on and has been known, or may be the same, as the Biblical demon Lilith, who brought forth all evil into the world. Others have known her as the ancient goddesses Gaia and Isis. And we know that her black blood is poisonous to vampires and she is resistant to nearly all normal and supernatural means of attack (i.e. bullets, vampires, Sookie's powers).
* ImAHumanitarian: She cooks human ingredients into her food - especially hearts.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: By one of Sam's horns.
* ALoadOfBull: She worshipped the Horned God and she would also wear a bull mask during rituals, making her look like a minotaur.
%%* ManipulativeBitch
* MrsRobinson: Being a [[TheHedonist hedonist]] she, probably, doesn't limit herself to young males, but did "deflower" Sam when he was 17. He was a bit scared of her though.
%%* [[OminousLatinChanting Ominous Greek Chanting]]
* APartyAlsoKnownAsAnOrgy: She specialized in hosting this kind of parties.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Her age is never addressed, but all Maenads are ancient. If [[UnreliableNarrator Daphne]]]] is to be believed she has been alive for as long as there was an Earth to walk on. The only thing we know for sure is that she's really OlderThanSheLooks.
* ReligionOfEvil: Leads one.
* ShipperOnDeck: She seems to be dangerously on deck for Tara x Eggs. She practically forces them to be together and loves seeing them as a pair. [[{{Squick}} Oh, and she also made them have rough sex.]] A popular theory is that her real reason for taking Tara in was seeking out a mate for Eggs. [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain She might even have been racially profiling...]]
* ShoutOut: In the first episode of Season 2, Maryann explains to Tara and Eggs a painting that depicts the god Pan mating with a human mistress. This is likely a ShoutOut to Creator/ArthurMachen's horror novella ''Literature/TheGreatGodPan'', where the outwardly beautiful and charming villainess Helen Vaughan is revealed to be a HumanoidAbomination, namely a daughter of the god Pan and a human woman. It feels safe to say that the character of Maryann Forrester takes a good deal of inspiration from Helen Vaughan.
* SupremeChef: Either Tara and Eggs were high on her EmotionControl or her Hunter's Souffle was heavenly exquisite.
* TooKinkyToTorture: She just laughs when Bill sinks his teeth into her.
* VillainsOutShopping: Half of her screentime involves her preparing for a party or the like.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: When she calls upon the powers of Bacchus.
* WomanInWhite: During the Season 2 finale when she was ready to [[MarriageToAGod marry her god]].

->'''Played By:''' [[spoiler:Robert Kazinsky]]

The vampire who attacked and killed Corbett and Michelle Stackhouse. [[spoiler:Later revealed to be a powerful faerie-vampire hybrid.]] He seeks to take possession of Sookie Stackhouse for unknown reasons. [[spoiler:This reason being to turn her into a vampire as well. He killed Sookie's parents to prevent them from killing her for being a fairy.]]

* ArrangedMarriage: [[spoiler:The contract he entered into with John Stackhouse that promises him the first female fae of his clan, i.e Sookie. As Warlow explains to Sookie's horrified parents, it's been done that way amongst faeries for millenia]].
* TheAtoner: He claims to hate that he's taken so many lives. [[spoiler:Ultimately averted. He's TheAtoner when it suits him.]]
* BigBad: Played straight, then averted. [[spoiler:Played straight in the final episode of season 6. With Truman Burrell dead and Sarah Newlin defeated, he steps up as a final antagonist.]]
* BeardOfEvil: One that drops down to his waist. [[spoiler:He shaves it so he can pass himself off as Ben.]]
* [[spoiler:BitchInSheepsClothing: He acts like a remorseful, Anne Rice fellow with Sookie, but when she asks him to wait a little, he shows his true colours as a possessive lunatic.]]
* CruelMercy: [[spoiler:He drains Niall of a substantial amount of blood, but doesn't drink it or drain him completely. Then he throws Niall into the dark dimension that Warlow himself had been imprisoned in.]]
* [[spoiler:DayWalker: His fae side allows him to walk in daylight.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:Despite massacring a village worth of faeries, he couldn't bring himself to hurt Niall, who was a little boy at the time.]]
* [[spoiler:EvilAllAlong: Warlow was introduced as a villain, but after being revealed as Ben, it was made to seem that he was much less villainous than his reputation suggested. Until the Season 6 finale, at least.]]

* HiddenVillain: He's yet to be given a face for the viewers, only having been seen in dark shots as a man with a ZZ Top beard and NiceHat. [[spoiler: He's later revealed to be Ben.]]
* [[spoiler:IHateYouVampireDad: Well, Mom that is. He ''despises'' Lilith for making him into a blood-drinking monster which resulted in him destroying his entire village. He also is less than enthused about her declaration that God commanded her to make him a vampire in order to save the vampire race, and thinks that she is insane.]]
* [[LastOfHisKind First And Last Of His Kind]]: [[spoiler: The only faerie vampire in existence. He wants Sookie so he can turn her into a faerie vampire as well, so they only need to feed from each other to survive and never have to hurt another person again. This horrifies Sookie's parents so much that ''they try to kill her when she's a little girl'' so Warlow doesn't get his hands on her.]]
* [[spoiler:KarmicDeath: Staked by all the living members of the Stackhouse clan that he's been tormenting.]]
* [[spoiler:NinjaPirateZombieRobot: He's part faerie and part vampire]]
* NoSell: [[spoiler:Once Sookie figures out who he really is, she invites him over for dinner, with the intention of weakening him by lacing his food with store-bought silver. He shows no signs of being affected by it whatsoever.]]
* [[spoiler:OffingTheOffspring: The reason he killed Sookie's parents: they (mostly her father) were going to ''kill her'' themselves, rather than let Warlow turn her into a vampire.]]

* [[spoiler:SelfMadeOrphan]]: [[spoiler: Kills his biological parents and almost everyone in his village except for Niall. Then, he ended up killing his maker Lilith by [[KillItWithFire 'giving her to the sun']].]]
* [[spoiler:StalkerWithACrush]]
* [[spoiler:StartOfDarkness: Implied to have been a typical faerie until he was turned. The flashback to 3500BC shows him to have been decent, loving and deeply loved by the rest of his family, given their reaction to him showing up years after Lilith turned him.]]
* [[spoiler:TragicMonster]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Cannot even show his image without spoiling his identity.
* WouldNotHurtAChild

* ActorAllusion: Picking up a hitch-hiking Jason could be an allusion to Rugter Hauer's role in Film/TheHitcher.
* {{Badass}}: He breaks through a dimension to [[spoiler:kill Warlow!]]

* CreepyGood
* DeadpanSnarker
* EvilLaugh: Gives off a magnificent one when [[spoiler:revealing to Jason who he is.]]
