Rev. Theodore Newlin

Rev. Theodore Newlin

Played By: Randy Oglesby

The Reverend of the Fellowship of the Sun church outside of Dallas, Texas.

Tropes

• Character Death: He's killed by Stan Baker.
• Family-Values Villain: Attempts to project this role to earn followers and does seem devoted to his own family.

• Foil: Shown opposing Nan Flanagan.
• Small Role, Big Impact: He only appears briefly in the first 2 epsidoes of the show, but his death drives Steve Newlin into taking over the Fellowship of the Sun to avenge his father. This kickstarts the events of season 2 when Godric hands himself over to FOTS and Steve plans to burn him alive to start a war with vampires.

• We Hardly Knew Ye: Newlin only appears in newscasts.

Luke

Luke McDonald

"Right up there with incest and bestiality—all of them ain't half as bad as if you did it to a vampire..."

Played By: Wes Brown

A dedicated fanatic member of the Fellowship of the Sun. Desperate to please and to come out on top, he becomes viciously jealous of Jason Stackhouse.

Tropes

• Church Militant: Sees himself as a soldier for the Fellowship of the Sun.
• Evil Counterpart: To Jason: both are enthusiastic, dimwitted tools for the Fellowship, but Luke is dedicated in his belief while Jason eventually wises up.
• Fantastic Racism: Towards vampires, gays, and anyone who has sex with either of them.

• Knight Templar: Out of all the recruits at the Fellowship of the Sun, he's one of the few who's truly bought into their philosophy and believes in the cause of exterminating vampires. On top of that, despite Godric showing mercy by putting an end to Steve's plans and telling everyone at the church to go home to prevent further bloodshed, Luke still continued his crusade by later going to Godric's nest and detonating a suicide bomb, killing himself and several vampires and humans.
• Suicide Attack: He wraps himself in silver and detonates in a vampire meeting.
• Undying Loyalty: To the Fellowship of the Sun.
• Unknown Rival: Subverted. Jason is well aware of Luke's rivalry with him, but honestly doesn't care.

Gabe

Gabe

Played By: Greg Collins

A mercenary who helps train and lead the Soldiers of the Sun, Rev. Steve Newlin's secret, paramilitary unit of the Fellowship of the Sun.

Tropes

• Asshole Victim: Considering that he was about to rape Sookie before Godric stopped him, he pretty much falls into this category.

• The Big Guy/The Brute: He's the most physically intimidating and capable member of the Fellowship.

• Dirty Coward: For all of his tough talk, Gabe really is a slimy coward. After he gets his ass handed to him by Jason in a humiliating manner, he later takes his anger out on a vulnerable Sookie by trying to rape her, and only is prevented from doing so by Godric. He shamelessly pleads with Godric to spare him, but it doesn't work.
• Fantastic Racism: Like all the Fellowship members, he hates vampires.

• Jerkass: While the other members of the Fellowship are hardly nice people, Gabe stands out when it comes to being a depraved lunatic.
• Psycho for Hire: Gabe is apparantly a mercenary.
• Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: His repeated attempts to rape Sookie mark him as the most blatantly evil member of the Fellowship.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Subverted. He may care about killing vamps but he is a maniac who will kill and rape anything given the chance.

• Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He's a spectacle-wearing sadist.
• The Evil Genius: For the Burrell camp, as the leader scientist.
• Groin Attack: Eric rips his genitals out with his bare hands and leaves him to bleed out.
• Mad Scientist: Very giddy about finding scientific methods for vampire-killing.
• Smug Snake: He's very pleased to be cutting into vampire test subjects.

• Your Head A-Splode: When Bill finds him bleeding to death from the Groin Attack, he finishes him off by stomping his head to pulp.

Finn

Dr. Finn

Played By: Pruitt Taylor Vince

A psychiatrist who works at Truman Burrell's 'vampire camp'.

Tropes

• Affably Evil: He's well-spoken, understanding and keeps his word.

• Face Death with Dignity: When Eric threatens to kill him, he says he doesn't care because he will have the satisfaction of having slept with Pam. Pam then kills him.

• Nerves of Steel: You have to hand it to him: he rarely shows fear when faced with terrifying prospects.
• Nightmare Fetishist: He gets a huge charge out of watching Pam kill a guard.
• The Shrink: His role within the vampire camp.
• Villainous Crush: On Pam.

SomChai

Morris

Played By: Mark Withers

Bon Temps Residents

Maxine

Maxine Fortenberry

"Don’t you 'ma’am' me Andy Bellefleur! I taught you in vacation bible school. Actin’ like you don’t even know who I am…"

Played By: Dale Raoul

A resident of Bon Temps and the mother of Hoyt Fortenberry. She's characterized by her over-protective and possessive relationship with her son and (despite his age) treats him as though he's a child. She is threatened by any other women in his life, and he still lives at home with her despite being in his late 20s.

Tropes

• Brainwashed and Crazy: By Maryann in Season 2.
• Character Death: Maxine finally meets her end when Violet rips her guts out.
• Control Freak: To Hoyt in particular, who she seeks to control via emotional abuse and smothering.

• Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: While we see some soft sides to Maxine once in a while, she is overall cruel and racist person that would kill a non-human with pure glee.
• Large Ham: Especially when she was under Mary-Ann's spell.

• My Beloved Smother: She's the Smother in question.
• Pet the Dog: Genuinely loved Tommy and came to his funeral and consoled Sam.
• Racist Grandma: She's racist against vampires and Africa-Americans.
• Replacement Goldfish: She tries to replace Hoyt with Tommy.

Kevin

Dep. Kevin Ellis

Played By: John Rezig

• Character Death: He's killed by infected vampires in Season 7's opener.
• Deadpan Snarker: On several occasions, though it rarely seems hes has the brains for this to be deliberate. One of the most notable is when Jason's shows up for his first day as a police officer.
  Kevin (to Andy): I guess this means you find my performance inadequate.
• Nice Guy: Generally good-natured and with a sense of humor.
• Those Two Guys: With Kenya.

Kenya

Dep. Kenya Jones

"Well, I guess the only way to get a promotion in this town is to drink like a fish, hallucinate farm animals, and kill a black man."

Played By: Tanya Wright

• Character Death: She's killed by infected vampires while trying to burn their hideout.
• Drowning My Sorrows: A light-hearted version, where she's seen drinking after Andy gets promoted to Sheriff.
• Et Tu, Brute?: Betrays Andy and the Sheriff's department when she not only decides to let the rioting townspeople raid the station's armory, but joins them
• Genre Savvy: Treats a lot of paranormal situations with the appropriate amount of incredulity or wariness.
• Hyper-Competent Sidekick: Arguably works harder than Bud or Andy.
• Meta Girl: She has plenty of commentary on the bizarre way in which the Sheriff's Office is run.
• Only Sane Man: Zig-Zagged. While she occasionally demonstrate Arbitrary Skepticism, it's usually justified in certain circumstances. One example is in season 1 when she doesn't believe Tara's claim about seeing a naked woman and a pig in the middle of the road because Tara was driving drunk and had just crashed her car. On top of that, she's usually able to see through people's bullshit and has no issue calling them out for their behavior: Like her scathing response when Bud makes a racist joke about Miss Jeanette's death in season 2, or when Jessica reveals that Hoyt joined a hate group in season 5 after breaking up with her, with Kenya sarcastically saying "He's a real prince charming, isn't he?" That being said, she ends up grabbing the Idiot Ball hard in the last season when she joins up with the mob that's targeting supernaturals, which ultimately results in her death.
• Sassy Black Woman: Although she's more 'dry' than 'sassy'.
• Servile Snarker: To Bud and Andy.
• Sore Loser: Mildly, over Andy getting the promotion.
• Those Two Guys: with Kevin.

Jane Bodehouse

Jane Bodehouse

Played By: Patricia Bethune

Miss Jeanette

Nancy LeVoir AKA Miss Jeanette

Played By: Aisha Hinds

A drugstore clerk but also performs fake exorcisms on the side to support her family.

Tropes

• Character Death: She's murdered by Maryann upon her arrival in Bon Temps.
• Con Woman: 'Miss Jeanette' is actually Nancy LeVoir, a drugstore clerk who cons people with fake exorcisms.
• Only in It for the Money: Downplayed. Her exorcisms are a scam to get money, but she later reveals to Tara that she does it because she's got family members she's trying to support.
• Small Role, Big Impact: At first glance, her exorcism of Tara's demons doesn't seem to have anything to do with the main plot. However, it's later revealed that the ritual she had Tara perform summoned Maryann to Bon Temps.
• Snake Oil Salesman: Her services are worthless and prey on what people want to believe.

Summer

Summer

Played By: Melissa Rauch

A sweet girl-next-door who has had a crush on Hoyt for a long time. After his breakup with Jessica, she, with help from Maxine, becomes his new girlfriend. She is shown to be opposed to vampires, hence attaining Maxine's approval.

Tropes

• Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: With Hoyt.
• Replacement Goldfish: A short-lived one for Jessica.

Ruby Jean

Ruby Jean Reynolds

Played By: Alfre Woodard

The mother of Lafayette Reynolds, aunt of Tara Thornton, and also a medium.

Tropes

• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Possibly. It seems her homophobia is just a product of her insanity as opposed to genuine hatred.
• Sanity Slippage: Actually, sanity has slipped.

Vince

Vince Gibson

Played By: Brett Rickaby

• Asshole Victim: He causes far more chaos than the infected Vampires and brainwashes the town into killing anything not human including Sam and Sookie. It's hard not to cheer when he is killed by Bill.
• Dirty Coward: The moment he see's Violet rip Maxine’s hear out, he flees the scene like the coward he is.
• Sore Loser: Implied to be this by Sam since he lost to Sam in running for Mayor.

Royce

Royce Williams

Played By: Caleb Moody

Maudette

Maudette Pickens

Played By: Danielle Sapia

Sweetie

Sweetie Des-Arts

Played By: Jennifer Hasty

The "Dragon", the leader, of an anti-supernatural hate group called the Obamas. They are nicknamed after the masks they used to conceal their identities.

Tropes

• Big Bad Ensemble: In Season 5. She is the Big Bad of the shapeshifter-murder arc. Ironically her nickname was "The Dragon". Along with her, there is the Vampire Authority, Russell and of all people, Bill.

• Disc-One Final Boss: Taken down fairly quickly once she was discovered.
• Dirty Coward: She had no issue ordering the deaths of shifters and other supernaturals in the shadows, but the moment one appears in front of her, she makes a run for it and lets her underlings deal with it
• Fantastic Racism: Against shifters, for which she has a very petty Freudian Excuse (a shifter girl once stole her man).
  • In the books, her Freudian Excuse was having been bitten by a werewolf.

• Hate Sink: Probably one of the most despicable characters on the show. She's a bigoted shrew who has a petty grudge against shifters because her ex-husband left her for one, and she's organized a Hate Group responsible for going out and targeting innocent people like Sam and Luna. She also plans to use this Hate Group to start a war with supernaturals (vampires, shifters, etc) where humans will win and she can invoke laws that will make it legal for humans to continue murdering supes. She's also a slimy coward who will run away in fear the moment things go wrong.
• In Name Only: Her book counterpart was Sookie's colleague, a cook and former stripper. This was likely changed, because it's similar to the season 1 storyline, where another of Sookie's trusted associates turned out to be a murderer.
• Lady Macbeth: Bud Dearborne probably would've had nothing against shifters and other supes if not for her influence.
• The Man Behind the Man: To Bud Dearborne and the 'Obamas'.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: She doesn't get far however, thanks to Luna.

• Teeth Flying: Luna knocks some teeth out of her head.

Kitch Maynard

Kitch Maynard

Played By: Grey Damon

• Mirror Character: He's implied to be what Jason was like in high school. The only difference being that while Kitch is willing to use drugs like V to cheat at football, Jason had enough honor during his time in high school not to use drugs to enhance his althletic performace. Jason eventually comes to realize this.
• Jerk Jock: He's a rude teenager who's revealed to be taking V to enhance his athletic performance.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: After season 3, he's never seen again. It's implied that Jason stopped caring about Kitch taking V after he revealed that the high school knew about it and didn't care. Plus, Jason had his hands full of other stuff, like taking care of the werepanther tribe, training to become a cop, and attempting to locate his missing sister.

Doug

Doug

Played By: Jayden Lund

The construction manager of the parking garage built above the entombed Russell Edgington.

• Butt-Monkey: He's dragged into bad situations, glamoured, and eventually killed.
• Inelegant Blubbering: He's constantly in a state of distress.
• Nervous Wreck: His default mode.

The Rattrays

Mack & Denise Rattray

Played By: James Parks & Karina Logue

Local drug dealers in Bon Temps, specializing in V.

Tropes

• Asshole Victim: They were both psychopathic V-addicts who made a living draining and killing vampires for their blood. They were also perfectly okay attempting to kill Sookie. No one mourned them when Bill kills them.
• Fantastic Drug: They deal in vampire blood.
• Fantastic Racism: Against vampires, seeing them as sources of V and nothing else.
• Jerkass: Both of them are rude, crass and violent.
• Small Role, Big Impact: They only appear briefly in season 1, but it's later revealed that Bill used them to beat the shit out of Sookie so that he could pretend to be a hero, drug her with his blood, and use that to manipulate his way into a relationship with her.
• Starter Villain: They're the first antagonists to appear in the series.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: Mack and Denise are dispatched fairly quickly, although nobody's going to mourn them.

Neil Jones

Neil Jones

Played By: Kevin McHale

• Kill It with Fire: Burned alive with the other vampires in a nest.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: No sooner has he been introduced, then he's killed off-screen.

F.W.

F.W.

Played By: Lorin Mc Craley

Other Humans

Karl

Karl

Played By: Adam Leadbeater

Maryann's assistant who serves her as an all-purpose domestic worker. He functions as a cook, chauffeur, house keeper, and masseur.

Tropes

• Ambiguously Human: Different from the humans and similar to the supernaturals, he seems to be immune to Maryann's power. It is unknown if this happens because he is Not Quite Human or because Maryann can somehow spare him from the effects of her power.
  • In supplementary materials, Karl reveals that due to a freak accident in his childhood, his pupils are unable to dialate and he is not aroused in Maryann's presence like other humans are, making him immune to Maryann's power.
• Alas, Poor Villain: He didn't so much besides assist Maryann, and his death is so random and unmourned by Maryann that it's hard not to feel a bit bad for him.
• Almighty Janitor: As Maryann's servant, he is responsible for everything she needs, whether it's cooking, keeping the house clean, or procuring the food, drugs, and items that Maryann requests. According to him, there hasn't been a single task Maryann has assigned him that he hasn't completed quickly and swiftly.
• Boom, Headshot!: Maryann deflects a bullet meant for her into Karl's head.

• Character Death: He's killed when Maryann deflects a bullet away from her, which goes straight into Karl's head.
• Undying Loyalty: To Maryann. Ever since he met her in October 2005, Karl was smitten by Maryann and believed his purpose was to be near her and serve her at all times.

Joe Lee

Joe Lee Mickens

"Don't ever get married, Sam. The second you do, that's when they start to 'woman' you!"

Played By: Cooper Huckabee

Sam's biological father, who was serving time in jail when Sam was born. He is also the father of Tommy, and husband to Melinda. He tries to use Sam for money while pretending to be a caring father. He tries to hide from Sam the fact that he forces Tommy in to dogfights in order to make money.

Tropes

• Abusive Parent: Even without the dogifths he won't be winning any father of the year awards.

• Fan Disservice: Spends a lot of time in his underwear for whatever reason.

• Karmic Death: Choked with a chain he was trying to use on Tommy to force him back into dog-fighting, before being bludgeoned with a pipe.
• Manipulative Bastard: He's not exactly good at it, but he certainly has his hooks into Melinda, and by their powers combined both of them are hooked into Tommy.

David Finch

David Finch

Played By: John Prosky

A leading right-wing politician and later congressman. In spite of his anti-vampire and anti-gay politics, he is both secretly homosexual and a user of V, which he buys from Lafayette.

Tropes

• Ain't Too Proud to Beg: When he thinks Bill is about to kill him.
• Dirty Old Man: He has a reputation for leering at his female students.
• Forced into Evil: By Bill. Takahashi wants no part of his plan, but is being held captive.
• Hot for Student: Part of his reputation. Jessica uses this to lure him in.

Hugo

Hugo Ayres

Played By: Christopher Gartin

The human lover of Isabel Beaumont.

• Jerkass Has a Point: His reasons for betraying Sookie and the vampires are inexcusable, but he does make a valid point that there really isn't any equality in vampire/human relationships unless the vampire is willing to turn their human companion. He's also correct in pointing out that vampires care more about their own kind than they do about humans.
• The Mole: Turns out to be the traitor the vampires are looking for in season 2.
• The Quisling: He turned traitor against Isabel and the other vampires, and willingly joined with the Fellowship of the Sun. However, they only saw him as a means to an end, and had no problem imprisoning him with Sookie once he outlived his usefulness.

Ms. Suzuki

Ms. Suzuki

• Twisted Ankle: One makes her lose her fight to Sarah.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: She only appears in two episodes, and has less than ten minutes of screen time.
• Wrong Genre Savvy: She is naturally skeptical of the anti-vampire Burell offering to help make more True Blood but falls for his claims of just being another hypocritical Sleazy Politician who cares more about his undead citizens paying taxes again than he does about his professed beliefs.

Dr. Ludwig

Dr. Patricia Ludwig

Played By: Marcia de Rousse

A little old lady doctor that specializes in supernatural creatures.

• Back-Alley Doctor: She doesn't seem to belong to any hospital, all of her patients she meets at their place.
• Deadpan Snarker: She could work on her bedside manner a bit.
• Inexplicably Awesome: It's never explained who or possibly what Dr. Ludwig is. She has a ton of unexplained knowledge about the supernatural world, and vampires thousands of years old defer to her, and she fears absolutely nothing. Sookie's great-grandpappy calls her a dwarf, but he might have meant in the purely medical sense.

Big John

Big John Dickson

Played By:

• The Voiceless: Until "Life Matters".

Gen. Cavanaugh

General Cavanaugh

Played By: Phil Reeves

A general within the Pentagon. He was working with Roman Zimojic and the Authority to keep the peace between humans and vampires.

• Badass Normal: An ordinary, and fairly old, man who doesn't flinch when facing the vampires and is prepared to bring out an effective arsenal against them.
• Character Death: Eric snaps his neck as part of a ruse to leave the Authority building.
• Cool Old Guy: He's getting on in the years, but his shot appearance is an impressive one which Russell and his cronies really should have taken seriously.

• Neck Snap: How Eric kills him.
• "No More Holding Back" Speech: He tells the Authority in no uncertain terms just what will be unleashed if they choose all-out war with humanity.
• Only Sane Man: He sets the Authority straight on just how much they've screwed themselves, and how fragile the alliance between human and vampire was.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: He only appears at the beginning of one episode before being killed.

Other Witches

Roy

Roy

Played By: Dean Chekvala

A humble, yet mentally disturbed wiccan. As a member of Marnie Stonebrook's coven, he was the only faithful and loyal companion of Marnie/Antonia.

Tropes

• Asshole Victim: Only Marnie is upset when Eric rips his heart out, and it's more out of horror than actual grief.

• Character Death: Eric rips Roy's heart straight out of his body and drinks from it like a juice carton.
• The Dragon: To Marnie.

• Psycho Sidekick: To Marnie. He loves seeing vampires die almost as much as her, but he's never been really wronged by them.
• Stupid Sacrifice: He stands in front of Marnie to protect her, is instantly killed, and Marnie dies seconds later.
• Too Dumb to Live: Standing up to Eric and Bill when the battle was clearly over.
• Undying Loyalty: For Marnie, who he sticks by all the way.

Katerina

Katerina Pelham

Played By: Alexandra Breckenridge

An undercover agent, wiccan, and former member of Marnie Stonebrook's coven. Under the king's orders, Katerina infiltrates Marnie's coven at the Moon Goddess Emporium in order to determine if they pose a danger to vampires.

• The Mole: is actually a member of Bill's security team who's been sent to infiltrate Marnie's coven
• Punch-Clock Villain: She's only doing her job, working for Bill.
• Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Inverted. Katerina was a spy hired by Bill to infiltrate Marnie's coven, and she remained loyal to her employer while handing over Marnie to be imprisoned. However, when Antonia later possesses Marnie and breaks free, she has Katerina executed because she "betrayed" Marnie to the vampires.
• Soldiers at the Rear: Served in the army but never saw any action.

Don Bartolo

Don Bartolo

Played By: Del Zamora

The grandfather to Jesus, and a brujo or shaman, who lives in Mexico. Don Bartolo attempted to teach Jesus the ways of being a brujo, but Jesus' mother would not allow it, and Jesus was never allowed to see his grandfather again.

Tropes

• Abusive Dad: He forced Jesus into a brujo livestyle, and had him kill a goat in a ritualistic sacrifice when he was little. When Jesus comes back for his help 20 years later, he dismisses his grandson as 'weak' because he practices "kitchen magic" instead of the Black Magic he taught him. In season 5, he takes Jesus's corpse from Lafayette's house and desecrates it for a ritual.
• Beard of Evil: He has a thick beard and is evil as hell.
• Black Magic: The source of his power. Jesus points out that if a brujo's soul is dark, they will practice black magic, which perfectly describes Don Bartolo
• Blood Magic: He uses this several times when he's conducting rituals. He refers to this as "bloodletting."
• Dirty Old Man: He has a very young, and pregnant, wife who despises him and he seems to care little for.
• Evil Sorcerer: He's motivated only by self-interest and power.
• May–December Romance: His pregnant wife is young enough to be his granddaughter.
