    Rodriguez, Terencia “Terry”: Along with Amelia Broadway, Bob Jessup, and Patsy Sellers, Terry helps perform the ectoplasmic reconstruction for the Queen of Louisiana after a Were turned by a vampire rises in Hadley’s apartment and attacks Amelia and Sookie. Terry is Hispanic, in her mid- to late twenties, with full cheeks, bright red lips, and rippling black hair. She is short and, in Sookie’s words, “has more curves than an S-turn.” (DD)
    Rogers, Bethany: A waitress at the Bat’s Wing, Bethany is working the night that Farrell is kidnapped and, with Sookie’s help, is able to recall what she saw. Stan keeps his word that she will leave unharmed, but the Fellowship of the Sun is not so forgiving of her interaction with vampires and executes her, leaving her body behind the Silent Shore Hotel. (Dies LDID)
    Romanov, Alexei (vampire): Alexei is the progeny of Ocella. The tsarevitch of Russia is given the Roman vampire’s blood by Rasputin to help with his hemophilia, so when the Bolsheviks execute the royal family, Ocella is able to locate the boy and save him by turning him. In the beginning, Ocella enjoys Alexei’s company in every way, but Alexei’s spoiled childhood and the trauma of his family’s confinement and execution turn him sociopathic, and he begins draining the energy of his maker. Hoping his older child can help his younger one, Ocella brings Alexei to Eric, but Alexei becomes a drain on Eric and Sookie as well. He escapes custody twice, resulting in the death of a human each time. Alexei finally becomes completely insane, badly injuring Eric and Pam and killing Bobby Burnham and Felicia. With Ocella in pursuit, he runs first to Jason’s house and then to Sookie’s, where he severs Ocella’s spinal column before gleefully engaging Claude and Colman, the father of Claudine’s child, in battle. Sookie is able to ensnare him with a silver chain, and Eric uses a tree branch to send his brother to his final death. (Dies DITF; mentioned DR)
