== Villains ==

 

[[File:rene-lenier-true-blood_9001.gif|frame|Rene Lenier]]

* [[Affably Evil]]: Seemed like a nice guy at first.

* [[American Accents]]: Cajun. {{spoiler|A fake one, anyway}}.

* [[So I Married an Axe Murderer]]: Where he's the Axe Murderer who almost married Arlene.

* [[They Look Just Like Everyone Else]]: Doesn't especially look like a murderer.

 

* [[Affably Evil]]

* [[Alien Blood]]: Because she's not even remotely human.

* [[Bridezilla]]

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: To those who don't know what she really is.

* {{spoiler|[[Death Seeker]]}}: All maenads.

* [[Emotion Control]]: Aside from feeding on them.

* [[The Fundamentalist]]: She takes her devotion to Dionysus ''very seriously''

* [[The Hedonist]]

* [[A Load of Bull]]: She worshipped the Horned God and she would also wear a bull mask during rituals, making her look like a minotaur.

* [[Manipulative Bitch]]

* [[Mrs. Robinson]]: Being an [[The Hedonist|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.

* [[Ominous Latin Chanting|Ominous Greek Chanting]]

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Her age is never addressed, but all Maenads are ancient. If {{spoiler|[[Unreliable Narrator|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 [[Older Than She Looks]].

* [[Religion of Evil]]: Leads one.

* [[Supreme Chef]]: Either Tara and Eggs were high on her [[Emotion Control]] or her Hunter's Souffle was heavenly exquisite.

* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]

* [[Voice of the Legion]]: When she calls upon the powers of Bacchus.

* {{spoiler|[[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]}}

 

* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: He manages to be a significant threat, but most of his villainous accomplishments against the vampires he hates are lucky shots or just plain given to him. Compared to the other [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] of the show, he's pathetic.

* {{spoiler|[[Bus Crash]]: Died offscreen between seasons 3 and 4.}}

* [[Church Militant]] of a [[Corrupt Church]]: The Fellowship of the Sun, who want to eradicate all Vampires and don't particularly like anyone who associates with them either.

* [[Foe Yay]] / [[Ho Yay]]: With Jason, oh so much.

* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]

* [[Southern Gentleman]]: The fact that he's a Southern Preacher invariably means he will also be this.

* [[You Fail Logic Forever]]: See above.

 

* [[Abduction Is Love]]: Both when she initially turned Bill and in the present.

* [[Abnormal Limb Rotation Range]]: Happens in said sex scene mentioned below.

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Well, at least ''off-screen'' she looks a lot better. See the IMDB entry for Mariana Klaveno.

* [[Torture Cellar]]: Tortured Bill in Russel's cellar.

 

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Attacks Sookie twice in Season 3 and 4.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: During the gap between seasons 3 and 4, Debbie stops taking V. She instead becomes a vastly different, and actually kind person.

* [[Cat Fight]]: With Sookie in Season 3

* [[Coup De Grace]]: {{spoiler|When Debbie attacks Sookie in the Season 4 finale, Tara jumps in the line of fire, and takes a bullet to the head. In a rage, Sookie wrestles Debbie to the ground, and rips the shotgun from her, and aims it right under her chin, amongst Debbie's cries for mercy. It doesn't work.}}

* [[Fan Disservice]]: Well, on the show anyway.

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Again, better ''off-screen'' (see Brit Morgan's IMDB entry).

* [[Murder the Hypotenuse]]: {{spoiler|Sookie}}

* [[Sacred Hospitality]]: Beginning of season 4

* {{spoiler|[[Taking the Bullet]]: Debbie's shotgun fires and hits Tara, who tried pushing Sookie out of the way.}}

* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: During the season 3 catfight between Sookie and Debbie, this little exchange occurs:

'''Debbie:''' Fuck you! }}

* '''[[Tsundere]]'''

* [[Yandere]]: '''Holy hell'''...

* [[Your Cheating Heart]]

 

* [[Abduction Is Love]]: Kidnaps and imprisons Tara "to protect her".

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: And he is ''serious'' bad.

* [[Psycho for Hire]]

* [[Oh Crap]]: What everyone was thinking when they realized just how insane he actually was.

 

* [[Affably Evil]]: He may be a monster, but he's a charming, diplomatic monster.

* [[Berserk Button]]: {{spoiler|the death of his lover}}

* [[Evil Overlord]]: He certainly wants to be this

* {{spoiler|[[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Has been buried in concrete.}}

*** {{spoiler|He got better}}

* [[I Love You, Vampire Son]]: Loves his vampire son (Talbot)

* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: While this series is not light hearted, his actions have the potential for far reaching consequences.

* [[Large Ham]]: [[Mood Whiplash|"Now time for the weather. Tiffany?"]]

* [[Pet the Dog]]: Sincerely cares about [[Morality Pet|Talbot]].

* [[Social Darwinist]]: He makes the subjugation of humans sound down right logical.

* [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]: Honestly believes that vampires being in charge would be the best thing for the world in general.

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: {{spoiler|When Eric kills Talbot.}}

* [[Yaoi Guys]]: With Talbot.

* [[All Bikers Are Hells Angels]]: Leader of the ''Fuck You Crew'' a Biker Gang/Werewolf pack loyal to Russell.

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Why Debbie left Alcide for him.

* [[The Brute]]: To Russell's [[Big Bad]].

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Alcide

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}

* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Werewolf

* [[Abduction Is Love]]

* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Had one with Crystal and wants to keep it that way.

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}

* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Werepanther

 

* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: Was treated as a freak for much of her life due to her status as a spirit medium.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Being bullied and threatened by others. It seems those years of feeling like an outcast and a misfit eventually ate away at her psyche; she's homicidal and vengeful toward anyone who attacks her.

* [[Big Bad]]: Of season four.

* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]

* [[The Fundamentalist]]: For her, those caught in the middle are not even [[Collateral Damage]] but [[Les Collaborateurs]] to vampires.

* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: The reason she talked to the dead was because they were her only friends. She was shunned by other people all her life because of her powers.

* [[Informed Loner]]: She claimed to be a lifelong outcast despite leading a coven that loved her (until she she started going off the deep end) and considered Holly and Jesus personal friends.

* [[Necromancer]]: The reason the vampires see her as a threat--with the power to control the dead, she could potentially control them too.

* [[The Power of the Sun]]: The magical barrier she erects around her shop harnesses the power of the sun, killing any vampire that touches it.

* [[Powers Via Possession]]

* [[Soul Power]]

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Her downfall can be traced directly to her not knowing what "cauterize" means. As in, Jesus and Lafayette grabbed a few vials of herbs saying they were going to "cauterize" the wounds of the girl Marnie stabbed, even though it simply means burning a wound to seal it.

* [[Wicca]]: Although many of her practices go against some of Wicca's fundamental ethics.

* [[Willing Channeler]]: She allows Antonia to possess her in order to protect herself and her coven from the vampires.

* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: It's implied at various points throughout the season and finally stated in "Soul of Fire" that Marnie is acting out because she perceives herself as everyone's punching bag and is using Antonia's power as a means to lash out and assert herself. This hardly justifies her actions, but it at least makes them somewhat more understandable. There's also the fact that she was originally just a lonely old woman, who turned to necromancy because she couldn't find meaningful relationships among the living. If the vampires had just left her alone, she would never have become their enemy, but instead they attacked her based on the possibility that she might one day pose a threat to them.

 

* {{spoiler|[[And I Must Scream]] : When Marnie forces her to stay. Believe it or not, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Jesus saves her]].}}

* [[Big Bad]]: Shares this role with Marnie.

* [[Burn the Witch|Burn the Witch!]]: She was burnt at the stake by the Catholic Church, which the vampires had a hand in.

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: {{spoiler|She refuses to make innocents (read: humans) suffer}}

* {{spoiler|[[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Antonia after witnessing the injured and dead people following the attack on the Festival of Tolerance.}}

* [[Necromancer]]

* [[She Who Fights Monsters]]

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Her hatred of vampires is entirely justified, considering the rape and torture she endured at their hands.

* [[The Man Behind the Man|The Witch Behind the Witch]]: {{spoiler|Subverted. It seemed this way at first, but when Antonia started getting second thoughts after what happened at the festival, it was Marnie who convinced her to stay.}}

* [[Backstab Backfire]]

* [[Crazy Jealous Guy]]: He's {{spoiler|Luna's ex-husband.}}

* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]

 

 

* [[By-The-Book Cop]]

* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: He retires from being the sheriff and is never seen again. Odd as it was made apparent he wasn't going to be leaving town any time soon.

** "Everytime I solve one murder another one pops up, it's like crab grass!"

* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]

* [[Clueless Detective]]: Though sometimes (surprisingly) not.

* [[Fantastic Drug]]: As of Season 4 {{spoiler|is addicted to "V"}}

* [[My Beloved Smother]]: Well, Grandsmother.

* [[Not Now, Kiddo]]: Tries to do this with Jason but it never seems to work. Jason just annoys him anyways.

* [[Properly Paranoid]]: Often looks insane just because he's one of the few people who actually know what's going on.

* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: From time to time though not at all so far in season 4.

* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Usually seems to have difficulty just functioning but, when the situation calls for it, shows that he is one of the most competent characters in the supporting cast.

* [[Calling the Old Man Out]]: Calling Sam out, actually, for transforming into a [[Jerkass]]

** Does this repeatedly with to his cousin Andy.

** [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: He got back from Iraq.

* [[Kick the Dog|The Dog]]: Often, when the writers want to get the point across that a charcter is being a complete [[Jerkass]], they do so by having that character be mean to Terry.

* [[Properly Paranoid]]: He often has a vague suspicion that something is wrong when something really is wrong, only to be falsely reasured that everything is ok by someone who knows for a fact that there's a problem but wishes conceal said problem.

** On more than one occasion he's been the first person to notice a problem.

* [[Mysterious Past]]

* [[Nice Guy]]

 

 

* [[The Atoner]]

* [[I Love You, Vampire Son]]: Genuinely cared for Eric.

** [[I Hate You, Vampire Dad]]: Completely averted.

* [[The Messiah]]: Preaches love and forgiveness, willingly {{spoiler|gives up his life}} to prove his point, and afterwards appears to his disciple surrounded by light to preach more love and forgiveness. In short, he is almost a [[Messianic Archetype|Vampire Jesus]].

* [[Technical Pacifist]]

* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: Not Godric.
