Trout, Julian (witch): When the summit is conveniently postponed until after Hurricane Katrina lays waste to New Orleans, Sookie wonders if one of the other kings or queens has a weather witch who was able to predict the hurricane and therefore delay the summit to force Sophie-Anne and the Louisiana vampires to attend in a weakened position. Her supposition turns out to be true: The culprit is Julian Trout, the Rhodes Channel 7 weatherman. He attends the summit ball with his wife, Olive, and is guided by first Sookie and then Carla and Gervaise to Sophie-Anne’s attention. Fortunately, Sophie-Anne believes that Julian was a pawn who didn’t understand exactly what his information would be used for, and she promises Sookie she will not harm the Trouts. (ATD)

Trout, Olive: The wife of the Channel 7 weatherman in Rhodes, Olive is unaware of her husband’s involvement with the vampires who postponed the summit based on his prediction of Hurricane Katrina. (ATD)

Twining, Charles (vampire): Pirate vampire Charles is sent to Louisiana by his grand-sire Hot Rain to retaliate against Eric for the death of Hot Rain’s child Long Shadow. Eric believes that Charles has come to Louisiana from Mississippi, where he was employed by King Russell Edgington. After listening to local gossip, Charles decides that killing Eric’s beloved Sookie will be an appropriate revenge. Eric inadvertently plays right into Hot Rain’s hands by sending Charles to Bon Temps when Sam needs a temporary bartender. Charles then finagles an invitation from Sookie to stay at her house, and he sets the place on fire. He’s already killed a human who has been set up to take the blame. Sookie’s fairy godmother rescues the unsuspecting Sookie, and the fire is put out. It isn’t until Charles sees Bubba and comments that he’s never heard him sing that Sookie realizes Charles could not have been in Russell’s employ and thus is not who he has claimed to be, since Bubba did perform for Russell and his vamps. Charles makes a desperate attempt to kill Sookie at Merlotte’s, but the attempt is thwarted when she stuffs a silver chain in his mouth, giving the bar regulars time to overpower him. Admitting that he failed in his task and preferring final death to imprisonment, Charles is staked by Catfish Hennessy. (Dies DAAD; mentioned DR)
