Valentine (vampire): No last name given. Valentine and Charity are sent by Sophie-Anne to investigate St. Louis Cemetery #1 after Waldo reports that he and Hadley were attacked by Fellowship of the Sun members. They find no trace of humans at the site. (Mentioned OWA)

Vampire database: At the request of Queen of Louisiana Sophie-Anne Leclerq, Bill Compton has developed an extensive database to allow for the identification of as many vampires as possible with as much information on each as he can gather. Bill has traveled as far away as Peru and (it is presumed) to other countries to interview vampires for the project. The value of the information, or perhaps the profit potential, contained in this database is considered so great that Bill is kidnapped and tortured to get it before he can turn it over to the queen. Later, at her behest, he makes copies of it available in the dealer’s room at the Rhodes conference, for a steep price. He then sets up a home business to sell the database on the Internet.

Vampire’s Kiss: The lights of Vampire’s Kiss, which is located off an exit ramp in the middle of nowhere between Bon Temps and Shreveport, shine brightly to attract customers. Victor Madden’s vampire club is decorated in a tacky bordello theme with dark wood, flocked wallpaper, red velvet, and leather, with images of Elvis scattered throughout. The vampire employees dress in a caveman–sex slave fashion, while the human employees are clad in skimpy leather outfits. Live music is provided by a vampire band playing a mix of blues and rock.

Vardamon, Judith (vampire): Lorena’s other child is wary when Sookie contacts her on Bill’s behalf, but she happily helps him recover from silver poisoning after she learns of their maker’s final death. Judith feared Lorena, who turned her to keep Bill’s interest when she realized Judith resembled Bill’s late wife. Judith and Bill originally parted ways because of her unhealthy obsession with him, and that infatuation leads to another parting when Judith accepts that Bill will never love her as she desires. (DITF, DR; mentioned STW)

Vasco, Jenny: When asked by Sookie if he knows any children with visible problems, Hunter tells her about Jenny, who has a birthmark on her face. (Mentioned DITF)

Vaudry, Elmer Claire: Elmer Claire, a teacher at Betty Ford Elementary, delights in bawdy comments at Halleigh’s shower. She has an ancient white Persian cat and innocently suggests that Amelia have Bob the cat neutered when they are both at the vet’s one day. (ATD, DR)

Velasquez, Joseph (vampire): Stan’s loyal second, Joseph survives the Pyramid explosion that badly injures his king. He continues to hold Texas while Stan recovers, although he will surely face challenges. For now, at least, Texas has been bypassed in Felipe’s bid for power. (LDID, ATD)
