In Season 6, she is courted by a faerie/vampire hybrid named Ben Flynn, later revealed to be Warlow. He attempts to turn her into his faerie/vampire bride, though she refuses and is saved by Bill. She ends the season in a relationship with Alcide.
In Season 7, she slowly rekindles her relationship with Bill and goes back to him after Alcide is killed. When he is infected with Hep V and chooses to die, she is devastated. But when he asks her to end his life and give up her faerie powers, she finally accepts her faerie powers as a gift and stakes him instead. Five years later, Sookie is seen happy, pregnant and in a relationship with an unknown man, hosting all of her human and non-human friends for a dinner party at her house.

In early episodes, it is revealed that Bill had a human wife and two children (Tom and Sarah) before he became a vampire. A short time after being turned, Bill returns to his family in his desperation to see them one last time. He discovers that his son has recently died of an illness (pox). Upon seeing his tears of blood at the death of his son, his wife becomes hysterical, at which point Lorena, Bill's maker, steps in and glamors her before removing Bill from his family forever. The fates of Bill's wife and young daughter, who was not present during his return home, are unclear, although Adele Stackhouse makes reference to the recently deceased previous owner of Bill's family home as the last Compton in Bon Temps. In episode 4 of the fourth season, Bill becomes involved in a sexual relationship with Portia Bellefleur (sister of Sheriff Bellefleur) until, upon meeting her grandmother, he realizes she is a descendant of his daughter Sarah.

In the second season, Jason briefly becomes an active member of the Fellowship, but later leaves it. In the third season, he develops a relationship with a supernatural creature, Crystal Norris, and thinks of joining the police. Crystal is forced to leave town with her fiancé but Jason pledges to find her. Like his sister, Jason is also part faerie though he does not appear to have inherited any of the special abilities that Sookie possesses. However, some speculate that his potential faerie "ability" is the sexual magnetism that many faeries possess. In the fourth season, he is a deputy on the Bon Temps police force and caretaker of the were-panthers of Hotshot. He is kidnapped by Felton and Crystal who are now V-addicts, and raped by all the women of the were-panther community after it is believed he is the "ghost daddy" meant to revive the dwindling numbers of the genetically weakened inbred pack. He manages to escape with Hot Shot and Crystal, and kill Felton in the process, however, as a result of the excessive, untreated bites from attempting to be turned were-panther by the others, he is left on the side of the road badly wounded. He is found by Jessica, where she tells him to "drink" and he is healed by her blood. When the witches cast a spell to bring the vampires out into the daylight, Jessica breaks free of her silver bonds and almost burns herself trying to walk out into the sunlight. Jason comes at the last second and takes her back into the house, closing the door and saving her life. Jason starts having intermittent sexual fantasies about Jessica—some involving Hoyt. Jessica and Jason finally do have sex after she breaks up with Hoyt. In the culmination of season 4, when The Moon Goddess Emporium is being held captive by Marnie, Jason tries to save Sookie, Tara, and everyone else inside. When Pam angrily fires a bazooka at the place, and it blows up at the protective barrier Marnie has placed around the emporium, all vampires present (Eric, Bill, Pam, and Jessica) heal quickly, but Jason is left severely burned and blind. Jessica once again offers her blood and saves his life. He admits his feelings to Jessica, and she also admits her own. They agree to have a relationship, but only as friends with benefits. Jessica states that she just got out of her first and only serious relationship, and doesn't want to be tied down to anyone.
With the season 5 premiere, Jason is greeted by Rev. Steve Newlin, who admits to Jason he's always had feelings for him. When Jason kindly rejects him, Newlin loses it and tries to bite Jason. Jessica rushes back and says "Jason is mine", then threatens the Rev. with either leaving Jason alone - or the true death. Jason tries to cope with his feelings for Jessica in their casual relationship, and turns down advances from other girls despite his open relationship status. After running into his high school teacher, who it is revealed to have slept with an underage Jason, he struggles with his inner demons; saying that there is a big hole in him, with something just missing - and he's been trying to fill it with sex, which so far has worked - but now it is not. And he doesn't know how to be friends with a girl. Jessica, who is present for this speech - says that he is already friends with a girl, and that she is there to talk and listen to him.
Jason later goes to a secret club with Sheriff Andy and Judge Clements, that is revealed to be a fairy safehouse. When the girl he is with reads his mind, he realized the supernatural aura of the place and then sees his cousin Hadley. She explains that he and Sookie must join her and the other faeries or the vampires will kill them, as they did their parents. Jason, believing his parents died in a flood, tries to get more information from Hadley but gets kicked out of the club with Sheriff Andy and presumably attacked by 2 male faeries.

Tara is later abducted by a delusional vampire who believes she loves him. He holds her captive for many days, even taking her to the mansion of Russell Edgington, for whom he works, where he plans to turn her into a vampire. She eventually escapes the vampire by tricking him into letting her drink his blood so she would have the power to smash his skull with one of the weapons that adorned the wall of their room. However this does not kill him and he comes after her, eventually being killed by Jason at Merlotte's. Tara ends up traumatized by her experience and after discovering that Jason had been the one who killed Eggs, cuts off her hair and leaves Bon Temps. In season 4, Tara has moved to New Orleans and working as a cage fighter, and is in a relationship with another fighter, Naomi. In the season 4 finale, Tara is shot in the head by Debbie. Sookie picks her up from a pool of her own blood, cradling her and screaming for help. Pam enters Sookie's house looking for Eric, and sees the dead bodies of Debbie and Tara on the floor. At Sookie and Lafayette's behest, Pam turns Tara into a vampire. Because half of her brain was previously missing before the healing process brought on by Pam's turning of her, not only is Tara now a vampire, but there is now a severe personality change. Tara and Pam become very close over the course of season 5 and Tara begins to deeply care for her new maker. At the end of the season, Tara rescued Pam from the Vampire Authority and the two shared a long, heartfelt kiss. Tara was killed at the beginning of season 7 by one of the wild Hep V vamps, while fighting to save her mother.

Lafayette is killed at the beginning of the second novel in the series. In True Blood, he is saved due to the popularity of his character and to help expand Tara Thornton's role in the series.

In casting, Alan Ball had concerns that the character's sexuality would be a dominating trait, "because you don't want to bring in someone who's going to play that in a phony way".^[2] Nelsan Ellis says that it took him a few episodes to find the character.^[3] Ellis says that he based many of Lafayette's mannerisms on his mother and his sister,^[2] and that the costuming also helps him get into character.

I have more makeup on than any of the females in the cast. Once they get me with the fake eyelashes and the eye makeup, I listen to some Rihanna and I'm there.

Alcide informs the pack that it was he who killed their packmaster, Marcus, so they would release Sam whom they thought had killed Marcus, Alcide covers up the fact that Sookie had killed Debbie had they spend the night together. Alcide finds out their new packmaster is working for Edgingtion and is giving the pack V; Alcide does everything in his power to stop it.
Recently, Alcide accepted the role of packmaster, a position he never aspired to have. While being packmaster, Alcide was more aggressive and became more of a leader than a lone wolf. He did enjoy the benefits of packmaster, such as control over the pack and to have any female pack member he wanted. However, even though Alcide inherited the flesh of JD, most of his pack, like Rikki, ignores his commands.
Alcide's pack's aggressive behaviour, and murder of the students who tried to persuade them to reveal their existence, publicly frustrates him. He despises violence and unsuccessfully tries to cover up Nicole's escape. When Rikki confronts him with Nicole and Nicole's mom's capture, proving the packmaster lied to his own pack, Rikki charges Alcide with the assistance of two female werewolves but Alcide finishes them off, though he restrains from killing them. He then walks away and turns his back on werewolf society, befriending Sam Merlotte once again. Alcide turns up at Terry's funeral to support Sookie and the two start a relationship. In season 7 Alcide is killed by the town's hate group against supernaturals.

In season 7, after the death of Tara, Willa becomes slightly depressed especially now that she is all alone after the disappearance of Pam and Eric. Eric returns to Bon Temp and tells Pam that Willa is still part of their family, and he must say goodbye to her in person before he dies. Eric summons Willa, though Eric appears genuinely happy to see his young progeny, she immediately lays into him for abandoning her so soon after she was made. She along with the other healthy vampires fight the Hep V Vamps. Willa is later released from Eric with her permission. Eric apologizes and tells her that he is proud to have her in the family. At the end of the series, Willa, now working for Arlene, is last seen with Sookie, Sam, Jason, Jessica, Arlene, etc., at Sookie's house for a Thanksgiving celebration.

In season 4, it is revealed that she is one of Marnie's students and a member of her coven. After the incident with Eric she leaves the coven, while she still is a waitress at Merlotte's, Sookie reads her mind and finds out that she has abandoned Marnie's witch coven for her and her sons' safety. Tara asks her to rejoin the coven and take revenge on the vampires who attacked them, Marnie betrays the coven for her own quest for power. She then begins to date Andy Bellefleur at the end of Season 4. In season 7, Holly is one of several characters captured by Hep-V vampires. She is rescued by Sookie and Bill when the vamps take her on a "field trip" as a food source. Sookie then later uses her powers to jog Holly's memories in order to find out the other prisoners are being held in the abandoned Fangtasia. In episode 5, Andy proposed to Holly and she accepted.

Rene appears to Arlene in the season 4 finale and warns her about Terry. He tells her he's met the ghosts of Terry's past and she must run.

He abducts Bill in season three in hopes of gathering intel on the queen of Louisiana, who he hopes to marry in order to merge their respective kingdoms. After discovering that Sookie has unusual abilities, Russell takes an interest in her. When Bill is no longer of use to him, he orders Bill's execution, but Sookie thwarts his plans. After Eric kills Russell's consort Talbot in retaliation for Russell murdering Eric's human family centuries ago, Russell becomes hysterical and kills an anchorman on live television to address a statement to the world, in which he announces his view that vampires and humans aren't equals and vampires will rule over them. This has widespread fallout as shown in season 4 with the vampires focusing hard on improving their image. Eric, Sookie and Bill manage to dispose of Russell at the end of the third season by tricking him and burying him underneath concrete.

In the season 4 finale it is implied that Russell has escaped the concrete, when Alcide finds a mysterious hole in a parking garage floor with silver chains discarded near it.

In season 5 it is revealed that he was released from concrete by Salome, to serve her agenda. He managed to kill Roman, the Magister of the Authority and escape once more. He goes against the Authority again when his proposition to drain all faeries in order to gain the ability to walk in sunlight is rejected. He was staked by Eric Northman in the finale of Season 5.

The two do not meet again for more than 70 years when, in season 2, she is summoned to the vampire hotel in Texas by Eric who, in his desperation to find Godric, schemes with her to hold Bill captive while Sookie infiltrates the Fellowship of the Sun so that he cannot interfere. Lorena is coerced into Eric's plan. Her love and longing for Bill has intensified over the years and as she holds him captive the two share memories of their twisted past together. Bill eventually escapes after hitting her over the head with a plasma television. Lorena makes an appearance at the party after Godric is freed from the Fellowship of the Sun and challenges Sookie who aggressively defends her relationship with Bill and warns Lorena to stay away from him. When she tries to attack Sookie, she is stopped by Godric who again comments on her old age and how she has not bettered herself over so much time. He then orders her to leave his domain, which she begrudgingly does, but not before an emotional departing with Bill outside.

Lorena returns in season 3 when Bill is captured by Russell Edgington. At the time, she appears to have been living as a guest in Russell's mansion. Upon seeing Lorena, Bill becomes enraged and hurls a lamp at her, engulfing her in flames, but she survives. Russell leaves Bill to Lorena and though at first Bill resists her advances, the two end up having violent sex, and he twists her neck 180 degrees. After this he calls Sookie and ends their relationship though he does so only to protect Sookie and delude Lorena into believing he has returned to her. Eventually Bill's deception becomes apparent and she resolves to kill him per instructions from Russell. She spends a lengthy and very emotional time torturing him in the servants' house on the mansion grounds before allowing werewolves to feed on his blood. When Sookie escapes from Russell and bursts into the room to save Bill, Lorena attacks her, but Sookie gets the upper hand and plunges a piece of wood into Lorena's chest, killing her.

When he goes missing, Eric sends Sookie Stackhouse and Hugo to the Dallas area to look for him. It is discovered that he is being held prisoner by the Fellowship of the Sun for a ritual execution. While infiltrating the Fellowship, Sookie is captured and attacked by one of their members, Gabe. As Gabe is attempting to rape Sookie, Godric appears and rescues her by breaking Gabe's neck. Conflict at the Fellowship comes to a head with a standoff between the Fellowship members and a vampire force led by Stan (one of Godric's lieutenants). Godric is able to defuse the incident without bloodshed. However, the Fellowship retaliates by sending a suicide bomber to his home, destroying three vampires and killing two human companions.

When asked how a vampire as powerful as he is could have been captured by humans, Godric reveals that he was taken into their custody willingly, believing that allowing himself to be killed by anti-vampire fanatics will bring about some sort of reconciliation, and atonement for his many crimes against humans during his long life. He takes the blame for what Nan Flanagan describes as a "PR disaster", as well as for the deaths from the bombing. He resigns as sheriff at her recommendation. After such a long life, Godric finds himself weary of his existence and saddened that humans and vampires refuse to work together and coexist, so decides he has been alive long enough. As his maker, Godric is greatly loved and revered by Eric, who begs him not to kill himself—to no avail. He "meets the sun" at dawn on the roof of the Hotel Carmilla, surprised and inspired by the fact that a "human", Sookie Stackhouse, would accompany him and shed tears at his end.

In the season three finale, Godric's spirit apparently appears to Eric and tries to get him to embrace peace and forgiveness during his battle with Russell. He expresses his sadness at Eric's actions when he and Bill bury Russell alive, rather than allow Russell the peace that true death would bring.

In Season 5, Godric's spirit again appears to his progeny Eric Northman, as Eric is feeding on humans under the influence of Lilith's blood. His last appearance is to his two progeny, Eric Northman and Norah Gainsborough, as Norah attempts to convert Eric to the religion of Lilith by forcing him to drink her blood. Instead of the expected Lilith appearing, Godric's spirit appears and attempts to reconcile Norah to his peaceful ways. Lilith appears in this vision and before a horrified Eric and Norah, rips Godric to shreds, thus ending his spirit visitations.

Born in Gaul in the first century BC, Godric was captured during one of Julius Caesar's invasions and sent to Rome where he was sold as a slave. His Roman master turned out to be a vampire, and after years of using and abusing him (also giving Godric the brand on his shoulder), the vampire turned Godric at the age of 16. Godric stayed with his master/maker until he learnt all the tricks of being a vampire, then killed him (how he did it isn't known). Killing his maker got him in trouble with the ancient vampire community so he fled, living alone and feral. His life in Rome had given Godric a fascination for war and death, and he'd often watch or join in battles and raids for fun. It was on the coast of Britain that Godric first saw Eric Northman in a raid, and being impressed by him, Godric turned him.

After the confrontation between Stan's vampires and the Fellowship, it initially appears that Luke has left his position with the Soldiers of the Sun. Later, at Godric's gathering, he arrives with a silver bomb strapped to his chest. After detonating the bomb, he's killed in the explosion along with (according to Isabel) three vampires and two human companions. The character was part of various interactive internet campaigns related to the show; including a fictional blog and YouTube channel.

After burning down a hair salon operated by Alcide's sister, Debbie leads a werewolf attack on Sookie's house at Russell's orders. While Bill and Jessica fight off the werewolves, Debbie personally confronts Sookie and the two become entangled in a brutal fight. After Sookie scars Debbie with a pair of scissors, she forces Debbie out of her house with a shotgun. In season 4 she has rekindled her relationship with Alcide and living with him, sober and reformed. However, their renewed relationship hits a few bumps as Debbie has different desires from Alcide and also suspects him of having feelings for Sookie. She almost leaves Alcide for her new pack master Marcus, but Alcide arrives and kills him before breaking up with Debbie.
In the last episode of season 4 Debbie, having been abjured by Alcide, turns up in Sookie's house with a shotgun and attempts to shoot Sookie. She shoots Tara in the side of the head after Tara pushed Sookie out of the way, and in retaliation Sookie kills Debbie while Debbie begs for her life on the floor.

Her first appearances were in a dream realm Sookie, while being comatose after getting drained, and Bill, after ingesting faerie blood, visit.

She later appears when she gets Sookie to Faerie, a realm inhabited by faeries and part-faeries, which Sookie escapes from, after learning the faeries' true intentions with her and other part-faeries.

Claudine is drained and killed by the amnesiac Eric after she comes back to the human realm to get Sookie back to Faerie.

Antonia repeats this act in Bon Temps four centuries later, after inhabiting Marnie's body inside Bill's compound. She eventually becomes disheartened over the collateral damage done in her war against the vampires, however, and leaves Marnie's body. But Marnie convinces Antonia to re-bond with her, for she wants to continue the war with Antonia as her source of power. After Marnie kills a member of their coven, Antonia sees that Marnie has become evil and leaves her body; but Marnie puts a binding spell on her and draws her back in. Antonia is finally freed from Marnie by Jesus, and all the spells she has performed have been broken.

In the last episode of season 4, Antonia returns to Marnie to ease her passage to the afterlife and to comfort and forgive her.

After Antonia reformed as main antagonist, Marnie took on the role.

Bent on seeing her baby one last time, she doesn't find rest and wanders as a spirit, showing herself to Mikey Bellefleur and Lafayette. After possessing Lafayette the matter is resolved, and with the help of Jesus she leaves in peace with the spirit of her baby.
