Madden, Victor (vampire): Victor Madden cheerfully announces himself when he arrives at Sookie’s house the night of the takeover by Nevada king Felipe de Castro, secure in the knowledge that his side has prevailed thus far. He is willing to burn down both Fangtasia and Sookie’s house if Eric and Bill don’t capitulate. For a time, Victor remains in New Orleans to oversee Area One personally, but eventually he sends Felipe de Castro’s representative back to Nevada and attempts to watch over the entire state himself as he begins to consolidate his power.
Victor witnesses Sookie’s presentation of the knife to Eric, as Eric planned. Victor knows that she is Eric’s wife and that Felipe has extended his protection to Sookie. But when Sookie asks for help while she is being hunted by Breandan’s people, Victor ignores Eric’s petition for her protection. When Bill calls Eric with the news that Sookie has been kidnapped, Victor chains Eric and restrains Pam to keep them from going to her aid, unwilling to let the vampires get involved in the Fae War. At first he pretends to disbelieve that Felipe has made any promises to Sookie. And when Pam is finally able to contact the king, Victor tells Felipe he had forgotten that Eric and Sookie are married. Felipe forces Victor to let Eric go to her aid.
The ambitious vampire continues to amass more power and begins plotting to discredit Eric, the only sheriff left from Sophie-Anne’s regime. Unwilling to allow Eric to have use of Sookie’s telepathic ability and worried about her powerful grandfather, he secretly sends his second, Bruno Brazell, and a female vampire named Corinna to waylay Sookie and Pam. Sookie and Pam prevail and cover their tracks. When his two vampires don’t show up for work, Victor can make no accusations against the Area Five vamps or Sookie, as Bruno and Corinna were never officially there. Although Victor is named regent of the state, he soon moves his power base to Area Five, opening Vampire’s Kiss and Vic’s Redneck Roadhouse while living in a mansion between Musgrave and Toniton. He continues to bait Eric, summoning him for a meeting at Vampire’s Kiss and then preventing Pam from checking security, bringing Pam’s sickly human lover to the bar in an effort to goad her to react, rubbing fairy blood on glasses in the hope that Eric and Pam will drink from them and cause problems. Victor’s actions cement the decision that he must die, and he is lured to Fangtasia by the promise of a performance by Bubba. An ardent fan, Victor does indeed get to hear his idol sing. But the performance is cut short when Eric and his supporters make their move. In the ensuing fight, Victor meets his final death at Pam’s hands. (FDTW, DAG; dies DR; mentioned TB, DITF)
