I've done several write-ups on True Blood characters over the the last decade for Halloween, and have a few more lurking:
Bill Compton - A vampire who becomes involved with Sookie Stackhouse early on and the main source of her romantic tensions.
Pam Swynford De Beaufort - Manager/Co-Owner of 'Fangtasia' - A vampire bar in Shreveport
Russell Edgington - One of the most dangerous vampires encountered and a snappy dresser.
Sookie Stackhouse - The main female protagonist, a telepathic waitress who becomes involved with the vampire world.
