The Sookie Stackhouse Companion

started discussing her moving in with him when she is brutally murdered in her apartment. Alcide is devastated and vows vengeance on Patrick Furnan, who he believes is behind her murder, only to find that Patrick’s wife, Libby, is also a victim of a female Were packleader named Priscilla Hebert. Alcide and Patrick work together to kill Cal Myers, the actual killer of Maria-Star, Libby, and Christine Larrabee. Patrick Furnan is killed during the ensuing battle with Priscilla’s pack, and Alcide ascends to packmaster without Maria-Star by his side. She is survived by her parents and three younger brothers.

    Cooper, Matthew and Stella (wolves): The parents of Maria-Star; they mourn her death along with her three nonshifter brothers. (Mentioned FDTW)
    Copper: No other name given. Copper’s willingness to show Sookie and Barry the security tapes at the Monteagle Archery Company in Rhodes is her undoing. She is murdered before they return to view the tapes. (Dies ATD)
    Corinna (vampire): No last name given. Victor’s vamp Corinna joins Bruno in an attempt to kill Sookie and Pam, waiting on the side of the road and flagging them down as they drive back to Bon Temps late one night. Pam easily defeats her with her bare hands, leaving Sookie with a knife to tackle Bruno. (FDTW; dies DITF; mentioned DR)
    Corinne: No last name given. Corinne, the manicurist and pedicurist at Janice Herveaux Phillips’s salon, cheerfully pampers Sookie during her stay in Jackson. (CD)
    Coughlin, Mike: Shreveport detective Coughlin investigates the killings at Verena Rose’s Bridal and Formal Shop, unaware that the bodies he is looking at are supernatural in nature. He inadvertently remains connected to the supe world when he is partnered with Were Cal Myers but does suspect something odd about his new co-worker. (DTTW, DD; mentioned FDTW)
    Coyote shifter: No name given. A beautician who comes out around the Great Reveal, much to the dismay of one of her longtime clients, who also discovers that she is the granddaughter of a werelynx. (Mentioned DAG)
    Crane, Claude (fairy): Claudine’s brother, Claude, is six feet tall, with brown eyes, long dark hair, and ears surgically altered to appear more human. He is an exotic dancer who prefers men to women but who has “visited the other side of the fence.” Narcissistic in the extreme, Claude generally does what is best for Claude. After losing both of his sisters, however, Claude moves in with Sookie, ostensibly for companionship but in reality to protect her from Colman, the father of his late sister Claudine’s child, both lost in the Fae War. Claude proves to be a surprisingly pleasant roommate for Sookie and actually seems to enjoy playing with Hunter Savoy when Sookie babysits him for the night. Together, Claude and Sookie are able to break the spell on Sookie’s great-uncle (and Claude’s half-uncle) Dermot. As fairies draw comfort from other fae, Claude and Dermot remain living with Sookie until Claude is told to move out after allowing Alcide Herveaux into Sookie’s bed to wait for her, despite the fact that she is involved with Eric.

    Crane, Claudette (fairy): Triplet to Claudine and Claude, Claudette apparently does not share the caring nature of Claudine and often doesn’t even bother to put on the charm Claude can assume when he pleases. When Claudette is murdered with pure lemon juice, Claudine asks Sookie for her help identifying the murderer by reading three potential human suspects. When the culprit turns out to be the owner of the strip club where both Claude and Claudette worked as exotic dancers, instead of human justice, the payment for the murder is the deed to the club—and the hunt. As Claudine says, “Fair is only part of fairy as letters of the alphabet.” (Deceased; mentioned FD, DAG, DITF, DR)
    Crane, Claudine (fairy): Tall, dark-haired, dark-eyed, well-endowed Claudine first strolls into Merlotte’s on New Year’s Eve. She eventually reveals that she is Sookie’s fairy godmother, and her mission is to try to prevent disasters in Sookie’s life and help her recover from those she can’t prevent. Sometimes it is with advice—ranging from fashion tips to telling Sookie not to attend the summit in Rhodes and warning her about Dermot and Breandan. Other times Claudine’s help is more action-packed. She pops into Sookie’s car when Sookie almost falls asleep and also pops into
