Well-known as a specialist in vampire law, Mr. Cataliades serves as Sophie-Anne’s attorney and, as such, notifies Sookie of her cousin Hadley’s final death while delivering Waldo to her doorstep so that she can avenge her cousin. When his niece Gladiola is later murdered while trying to deliver a letter to Sookie regarding Hadley’s estate, Mr. Cataliades seeks out a bit of vengeance of his own when Sookie gives him the identity of Glad’s assailant. He has no visible weapons as he confronts Jade Flower, so exactly how she loses her leg remains a mystery. Mr. Cataliades personally rescues Sophie-Anne Leclerq from the Pyramid of Gizeh in Rhodes and continues to manage her affairs as she recovers. After her death during the takeover of Louisiana by the Nevada vamps, the esteemed lawyer is hired to represent Felipe de Castro’s interests in Louisiana. Even though he must appear to remain neutral in his dealings in the supe world, he is grateful for Sookie’s aid during the Rhodes bombing and its aftermath, so he sends his niece Diantha to warn her about the fairies moving about in the human world. He also ensures that she receives payment for her services at the summit from the late queen’s estate, and sends Sookie her inheritance after handling Claudine Crane’s will.
A letter from Adele reveals just how much influence Mr. Cataliades has had in Sookie’s life and why he feels a responsibility toward her. As a friend of her grandfather, Fintan, Mr. Cataliades bestowed the gift of telepathy on all of Fintan and Adele’s descendants who possessed the essential spark. After Fintan’s death, he gave Adele the cluviel dor on Fintan’s behalf. (OWA, DD, ATD, DR; mentioned FDTW, DAG, DITF)
