Brigant, Dermot (fairy): Niall Brigant’s younger twin son by the human Einin, Dermot defies his father and allies himself with his cousin Breandan, believing Breandan’s philosophy that humans and fairies shouldn’t mingle. He is also implicated in the death of Sookie’s parents. Dermot and his great-nephew, Jason, look very much alike. Dermot is left on the human side when Niall closes Faery. When he finally approaches Sookie, she realizes he is bespelled. He is unable to tell her who put the spell on him as he slips in and out of the confusion caused by the magic. He does tell her he watches over her when he can and that there is another fae on this side who means her harm. He also denies helping to kill her parents and tells her he has come to terms with his half-blood status. Dermot is watching from Sookie’s woods when Alexei attacks Claude and the other fae, Colman. After Alexei is killed, Colman attacks Sookie, only to accidentally kill Ocella instead. Dermot throws a dagger that lodges in Colman’s back, allowing Eric to catch and drain him. Dermot struggles to speak to Claude and Sookie, and they discover that Niall is the one who bespelled his own son. Together they break the spell the old-fashioned way, with a kiss from each, and Dermot’s mind clears. He remains with Sookie and Claude at Sookie’s house, trying to adjust to life on this side. When Claude offends Sookie and is told to move out, Dermot admits that he feels he has no purpose in life and tells her he wishes only to stay with her and finish fixing up her attic, a project he has been tackling with great enthusiasm. He is injured by kidnappers searching for Sookie but recovers after Sookie finds him and sends for the elf Bellenos, who breathes into Dermot to heal him. The two fae then go on the hunt, returning with the heads of Dermot’s assailants. (DAG, DITF, DR; mentioned FDTW)
