Biography[]
Wayne Bosen was a customer at the Grabbit Kwik convenience store just outside of Bon Temps, in Renard Parish, Louisiana. After picking up a four-pack of the synthetic blood substitute Tru-Blood, he approached the counter, but was made to wait in line behind two college kids, Brett and Kelly, who were trying to score some "V-juice" (vampire blood) from the clerk behind the counter. After expressing mild impatience, the good ole boy received several rude comments by the college boy, forcing him to reveal his fangs as a warning to him to back off. Playing up the redneck stereotype, the good ole boy vampire told the kid in no uncertain terms, "First I'll fuck ya... and then I'll eat ya". Following which, the boy and his girlfriend bid a hasty retreat. The vampire paid for his Tru-Blood, but warned the Grabbit Kwik clerk about what he would do to him if he ever caught him impersonating a vampire ever again. [1]
Notes & Trivia[]
- The good ole boy vampire is unique to the continuity of the True Blood television series and does not have a counterpart in the "Southern Vampire Mysteries" series of novels by Charlaine Harris.
- The character is actually credited in the episode as "Good ole boy vampire". Good ole boy is a nickname, often used as a derogative, for men born and raised in the American south.
- The good old boy vampire's preferred blood type is O-Negative, as revealed on the packaging of his four-pack of Tru Blood.
- It is unknown if the good ole boy vampire was in the vicinity on the night that vengeful witch Marnie Stonebrook cast a spell of necromancy, which forced all vampires within the area to walk out into the daylight. If the good ole boy was affected by this spell then he is very likely deceased.
