Falcon, Jerry (wolf):
Hounds of Hell gang member Jerry Falcon accosts Sookie at Josephine’s, drawing the wrath of Mr. Hob and the disapproval of his employer, Russell Edgington, the vampire King of Mississippi. After complaining to the Jackson packmaster about Alcide, Jerry attempts to break into Alcide’s condo, only to be seen and killed by Bubba, who stuffs his body in the closet for Eric to dispose of. Unfortunately, Bubba doesn’t tell Eric, Sookie, or Alcide, so when Sookie finds his body, neither she nor Alcide knows how it got there, but they do know they need to get rid of it. Jerry’s body is wrapped in a shower curtain, driven to the Kiley-Odum Hunt Club, unwrapped, and left in an isolated area of the property. (Dies CD; mentioned DD)

Fangtasia:
“Shreveport’s Premier Vampire Bar” is located in a suburban shopping area of Shreveport, Louisiana, set in a strip mall not far from a Sam’s Discount Center and a Toys “R” Us. The club is currently owned by vampires Eric Northman and Pam Ravenscroft. Its façade is painted steel gray, with a red main door, and a red neon sign proclaims the business’s name. That color scheme continues in the interior, which is done in gray, red, and black with dim lighting. The atmosphere is enhanced by female employees in long black dresses and framed pictures of movie vampires on the walls. The clientele mainly consists of fangbangers and tourists visiting for the thrill of seeing a real vampire up close. Other supes unrevealed to the public frequent the bar as well. As part of the fealty owed to Eric as sheriff of Area Five, many of his vampires are required to put in hours on display at the bar, and he often sits at a table or booth himself.

Patrons are greeted at the entrance by a vampire at a lectern who takes the cover charge and shows them to their seats, and there are also stools at the bar. Spread around the main area are a number of placards with rules and warnings, such as NO BITING ON PREMISES, CONDUCT YOUR PERSONAL BUSINESS ELSEWHERE, and YOUR PATRONAGE IS APPRECIATED. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. There is an area for a band and a gift shop for souvenirs, including T-shirts and the Fangtasia calendars. The bar is open six nights a week, Tuesday through Sunday, from six p.m. on, although the vampires do not appear until after full dark. Along with the area vampires, Fangtasia has a number of human employees who are covered by a group health insurance policy.
The club hosts a rare concert by Bubba, given to lure Victor Madden and his crew to their deaths. (DUD, LDID, DTTW, DN, DAAD, ATD, DAG, DITF, DR; mentioned CD, DD, L, FDTW, TB)
Fant, Octavia (witch):
Amelia’s witch mentor and head of her coven, Octavia can look and behave like a sweet, elderly African American grandmother when she chooses. She lost everything in Hurricane Katrina and is staying with her niece in nearby Monroe when she finally finds her student at Sookie’s house. Amelia’s coven is upset because Amelia used transformational magic when she accidentally turned Bob Jessup into a cat and has been unable to turn him back. Octavia herself apparently fails in her attempts to return Bob to human form. Although disapproving, Octavia helps Amelia perform an ectoplasmic reconstruction to find the murderer of Maria-Star Cooper. The two witches work together again to rid Tanya Grissom of Sandra Pelt’s influence so that she will stop causing trouble for Sookie and for Jason and Crystal, and Sookie invites Octavia to move in as a favor to Amelia. Octavia finally changes Bob back, admitting that her first attempts failed on purpose and that she left him that way so Amelia and Sookie would need her and allow her to stay. Octavia is eventually found by her boyfriend, Louis Chambers, a powerful man in his own right, who has been looking for her since Katrina. He comes to Bon Temps to take Octavia home with him to New Orleans. (FDTW, DAG; mentioned ATD, DITF, DR)

Fellowship of the Sun (FotS):
A militant anti-vampire organization, the FotS is the fastest-growing cult in America and is dedicated to the elimination of vampires from society. Founded by G. Steve Newlin and his wife, Sarah, the movement has several branches and holds services preaching intolerance of the undead and condemning the humans who have any type of contact with vampires. Their most lucrative location, in Dallas, is raided by the FBI and shut down when the raid uncovers a basement dungeon complete with silver chains, weapons adapted to shoot wooden stakes, and the dead body of a Fellowship enforcer. Members of the FotS attack a vampire celebration in retaliation, killing several vampires and human participants. The assault prompts calls for legislation beneficial to vampires, and forces Steve and Sarah to go underground to continue spreading their message against the undead and promoting their program of eradication. The main organization publicly claims not to be involved in any violent incidents and is quick to deny responsibility for the bombing of the vampire summit in Rhodes that killed not just vampires but humans, including many employees of the Pyramid of Gizeh. The Fellowship blames a splinter group that has its own agenda.

She pretends to extend an olive branch to Sookie and invites her over to her trailer, but it is all part of a plot to enable Whit and his friend Donny Boling to crucify Sookie in the same manner as Crystal as an example of what happens to those that fraternize with supes. Sookie is able to zero in on the plot while suspiciously scoping out the trailer, and calls the police. Arlene is wounded in the shoot-out with law enforcement and arrested.
