- ABOUT THE EDITOR
Crawdad Diner: Perdita and Crawdad Jones opened their diner in the 1940s. After Perdita’s retirement, she gave her recipes to subsequent owner Ralph Tooten with the caveat that the business remain named for her late husband. Ralph’s arthritis didn’t allow him to keep the diner for long, but he maintained Crawdad’s name by selling to Pinkie Arnett with the same condition. Located in the oldest part of Bon Temps and once somewhat of a dive, the restaurant is well-known by locals who go there to enjoy traditional Southern foods, including fried green tomatoes, country-fried steak, and Perdita’s bread pudding. (DUD, DITF; mentioned DR)
Crimmins, Patricia (wolf): Patricia is one of the three St. Catherine Parish wolves who surrender to Alcide after Priscilla Hebert’s failed attempt to take over the Shreveport pack. Alcide chooses her to reveal herself on camera when the shifters come out because she is pretty, shapely, and, quite frankly, the new girl. When Alcide begins seeing Annabelle, Patricia is jealous, even though she is seeing Hamilton Bond, and she aids and abets Ham when he kills Basim and buries him on Sookie’s property. When Sookie “sees” her guilt, Patricia throws herself on the mercy of the pack, but Jannalynn convinces Alcide that Patricia is a traitor and should die with Hamilton. Assumed deceased. (FDTW, DAG, DITF)
Crimmons, Booth (vampire): Gervaise’s second-in-command. Booth and his vamps, along with Sigebert, are guarding Sophie-Anne during her recovery. He is out during the actual takeover, having left his child Audrey in charge. His status remains unknown. (Mentioned FDTW)
Cromwell, Willie: Detective Cromwell is part of the investigation into the people missing after Priscilla Hebert’s attack on the Shreveport Weres. He’ll never find out what really happened. (Mentioned FDTW)
Crowe, Bartlett (vampire): The King of Indiana, Bart marries Russell Edgington at the summit in Rhodes. He and his husband both survive the explosion with minimal injury. (ATD; mentioned DAG)
Culpepper (wolf): No first name given. When Hallow and her coven target the Shreveport Weres and vampires, Culpepper pairs with fellow Were Portugal to ensure that the local Wiccans either help or stay clear of the upcoming Witch War. When Portugal is among those killed in the war, Culpepper sits beside his body, mourning his death. (DTTW)
Cumberland, Alfred (wolf): From the nuptials of a vampire king and queen to the double wedding of small-town royalty, Al, photographer of the supernatural and the mundane, is privy to the rituals of both worlds as he records them for posterity. (DD, FDTW)
Cummins, Jesse Wayne: Jesse Wayne frequents Merlotte’s. (DITF)
Cunningham, Riki: Riki has a prom dress for her daughter on layaway at Tara’s Togs. (DAG)
Curlew: No first name given. Officer Curlew interviews Sookie along with his partner, Jay Stans, when she brings Maria-Star to the hospital, claiming she found her on the side of the road after she was hit by a car. (DTTW)
