Franklin Mott




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.

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

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.

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.[1]

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.

He dies at the hands of the fairy, Colman.

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

Alexei Romanoff



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.
