Biography

Season 7

"I Found You"

Jerome, along with a large group of infected vampires, are holed up in Fangtasia trying to survive the Hep-V outbreak. They have captured a number of humans and are holding them captive in the basement of Fangtasia, feeding on them when they need to. On the surface, Jerome appears to be the leader of this group and doles out responsibilities to the other vampires, such as who will choose a human that they should eat, and who should keep watch while the rest of the vampires sleep. Jerome scolds one of the vampires for completely draining one of their captives, thus drastically cutting their food supply. ("I Found You")

"Fire in the Hole"

Jerome goes out with a group of other infected vampires, seemingly on the hunt for humans, with Holly in tow. They come across a few unlucky humans, and take them back to Fangtasia. Later, Jerome and his group encounter Sookie, who is using herself as bait to lure out the Hep-V vampires. Bill, Sam, and Alcide protect Sookie from the vampires, and during the fight Jerome is destroyed by Alcide in his wolf form. ("Fire in the Hole")
