Dead Man Dance Band, the (vampires): The “live” band performs at the summit in Rhodes. (ATD)

Dean, Alma: Meek Alma is Diane Porchia’s clerk. (L)

Dearborn, Bud: Sheriff Bud Dearborn was a friend of Corbett Stackhouse, but that doesn’t alleviate his misgivings about both Sookie and Jason. The sheriff is a good man who honestly seeks justice. Just how well he knows his parish is revealed when he seeks to comfort a partially shifted Calvin Norris after the discovery of Crystal’s body. Sookie is not the only one who already knew about the existence of the panthers.

Bud is in Merlotte’s when Sandra Pelt makes another attempt to kill Sookie. After Sandra escapes from custody, he calls Sookie to let her know that her enemy is loose. (DUD, LDID, DTTW, DAAD, DD, FDTW, DAG, DITF, DR; mentioned ATD)

Dearborn, Greta: Greta’s happy and unsuspicious nature, the flip side of her sheriff husband, is a perfect fit for her job with Bon Temps Florist. (DAAD)

Dearborn, Jean-Anne: The daughter of Bud and Greta Dearborn, Jean-Anne was caught making out with Jason in the bed of his truck by her father. (Mentioned DUD)

Death by Fashion: At Death by Fashion, a high-end hair salon, stylist Immanuel Earnest is able to charge the highest prices in Shreveport. (Mentioned DR)

Deb (wolf): No last name given. Deb is the driver arranged by Dr. Josephus to take Sookie from the Dallas hospital to the Silent Shore Hotel after the car wreck. Blindfolded, Sookie listens to the talk among Deb, her fellow Were passenger riding shotgun, and Luna, including Deb’s comments when she sees Eric standing outside the hotel. Deb thinks he’s attractive but is told by Luna that she “can’t date a deader.” (LDID, STW) de Castro, Felipe (vampire): The current King of Nevada, Louisiana, and Arkansas owns a number of businesses throughout Nevada, including a casino, several restaurants, and a talent management company that handles vampire entertainers. He is also reputed to have a publishing empire, although no specifics are given. With his experience dealing with tourists and, therefore, making money, he seems to be the right person to rebuild the vampire holdings in New Orleans.

Striking when Sophie-Anne is financially drained and physically disabled, Felipe orchestrates the takeover of Louisiana and Arkansas, sending his vampires to either assimilate or assassinate the vamps in both states. Felipe is captured along with Eric and Sam in Merlotte’s parking lot by a vengeful Sigebert. Rescued by Sookie, he shows his gratitude by offering formal vampire protection to her.

Felipe’s control over Louisiana is tenuous as his regent, Victor, seeks to gain more and more power. But Felipe is aware of that and, as it turns out, had his own plans for Victor. (FDTW; mentioned DAG, TB, DITF, DR)

DeeAnne: No last name given. DeeAnne starts her night in Merlotte’s with a trucker from Hammond but ends it by going home with Jason. (DUD)
