The Sookie Stackhouse Companion

vampire Jonathan introduces himself to Sookie at the Bellefleur-Vick wedding as a guest of Hamilton Tharp and claims to have dutifully checked in with Area Five sheriff Eric Northman, as protocol demands.
    He lied. (FDTW)
    Jones, Crawdad: Crawdad is the original owner of the Crawdad Diner with Perdita Jones. After his death, his wife sells their recipes along with the diner to Ralph Tooten in order to keep the name Crawdad on the sign. (Deceased; mentioned DITF)
    Jones, Kenya: Built like an Amazon, Kenya is the opposite of her patrolman partner, Kevin, in almost every way, but they work well together, eventually beginning a romantic relationship that culminates with them moving in together. (DUD, DTTW, DAAD, DD, DAG, DITF; mentioned LDID, CD, DR)
    Jones, Perdita: Perdita is the former co-owner of the Crawdad Diner with her husband, Crawdad. When she sells the diner to Ralph Tooten, she sells him the recipes as well with the stipulation that the diner keep Crawdad’s name. (Mentioned DITF)
    Josephine’s: Known as Club Dead among the Weres, vampire-owned Josephine’s is located on the outskirts of downtown Jackson, Mississippi, on or near Amite Street. The supes leave their keys in their cars, which then drive away on their own so that the streets in front of the bar are kept deserted. The club is surrounded by an ominous, watchful air; most humans experience a feeling of dread when they approach the door, and if they do get in, they are treated to a costly cover charge, terrible drinks, and poor service. Those who manage to stay soon find themselves on the sidewalk with no memories of leaving the bar.
    The doorman and bouncer is Mr. Hob, a goblin, who treats all strangers with suspicion. The interior of Josephine’s looks a lot like any other bar: dim lighting, low music, glasses suspended on racks over a large square bar surrounded by polished bar stools, a small dance floor and stage just to the left of the bar. The club is run as a neutral ground, with specific rules on how both vampires and shifters are to behave: “No Changing on the Premises,” “No Biting of Any Kind,” “No Live Snacks.” Alcide Herveaux escorts Sookie to Club Dead to gather information on Bill’s whereabouts after his kidnapping. During their second visit, Sookie picks up the thoughts of a Fellowship of the Sun member determined to become a martyr and is staked when she confronts the assassin. (CD; mentioned DTTW, DAAD, ATD)
    Josephus, Dr. (unspecified shifter): No first name given. Luna Garza asks for fellow shifter Dr. Josephus when she and Sookie are taken to the hospital in Dallas after the car accident caused by Sarah Newlin and Polly Blythe. Dr. Josephus treats Sookie and releases her in short order, arranging transportation with two Weres to get her safely back to the Silent Shore Hotel. (LDID)

    Kelner, Tawny: Dallas police detective Tawny Kelner grimly investigates the murder of Bethany Rogers, aware that she worked at a vampire bar but convinced that the murder was actually a message to vampires, not committed by them. (LDID)
    Kent, Kendell (wolf): Kendell works as a waiter at Les Deux Poissons and is almost certainly the person who notifies Lucky Owens that Sookie has left the restaurant after her dinner with Niall, setting the scene for Lucky to make an attempt on her life. Alcide is saddened by the news, thinking Kendell has sided with Patrick Furnan. In reality, both Kendell and Lucky are working for Priscilla Hebert. (FDTW)
