"That's what death does, rips the ground right out from under your feet, makes you wonder if it was ever there to begin with, but it was and it will come back."

―Alcide^[src]

Alcide Herveaux is a major character in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth season of True Blood. He is played by starring cast member Joe Manganiello and debuts in "It Hurts Me Too". He is also played in flashbacks by co-star Blake Michael in the episode "Everybody Wants to Rule the World". He is a werewolf and owns a surveying company with his father in Shreveport, LA. Alcide is depicted as a tall man with brown eyes, and thick, tousled black hair. He has an older sister named Janice.

Personality

Alcide is a loyal, respectful and decent man who came from a poor family that worked hard to have the wealth they achieved. He always cares for his friend's safety and is also quick to take people under his wing.

Alcide was raised in a Were society that highly appreciates and respects women, which made him highly vulnerable to their (mainly Debbie's) manipulation. He has grown through his painful experiences from being a kind of naive man, to be more strong and mature.

Recently Alcide accepted the role of packmaster, a position he never aspired to have. While being packmaster, Alcide was more aggresive and became more of a leader than a lone wolf. He did enjoy the benefits of packmaster, such as control over the pack and have any female pack member he wants. However, even though Alcide inherited the flesh of JD, most of his pack, like Rikki, ignores his commands.

Alcide's pack's agressive behaviour and murder of the students who tried to persuade them to reveal their existence publicly frustrates him. He despises violence and unsuccessfully tries to cover up Nicole's escape. When Rikki confronts him with Nicole and Nicole's mom capture, proving the packmaster lied to his own pack, Rikki charges Alcide with the assistance of two female werwolves but Alcide finishes them off though he restrains from killing them. He then walks away and turn his back on werewolf society, befriending Sam Merlotte once again.

Biography

Season 7

In Jesus Gonna Be Here, during the vampire attack Alcide helps Sam track Nicole Wright, but to no avail and are forced to come back to the bar and grill empty handed. Sookie also reads his mind, claiming "how she could ever love a dead man", this angers her and she leaves to walk home by herself and Alcide tries to leave messages for her but she ignores his calls and throws her phone away. Later on, they both argue about how she can't control what she telepathically hears, but they later apologize and make love together. In the morning, he later takes Sookie to the memorial service at Reverend Daniels church, and appears concerned when she gets upset by other people's negative thoughts on her.

Powers & Abilities

Alcide is a Werewolf. He seems to be more powerful than an average human or a werewolf. A testament of his strength is his fight with Marcus Bozeman, where he was able to kill him with one blow. In his wolf form his fur is white, slightly brownish, and his eyes are orange. ("I Got a Right to Sing the Blues")He also seems to have some experience with guns, since he harbors a shotgun. Werewolves appear to have heightened senses while in Human form, Alcide tracked down Sookie with Debbie. ("Cold Grey Light of Dawn") Alcide has also shown himself to be a skilled fighter, having overcome most of his opponents through his fighting skills and strength.
