Jason Stackhouse's Storyline
Sookie's brother, a road crew supervisor, and a suspect in a murder spree.
Jason Stackhouse (played by Ryan Kwanten) is Sookie's not-too-bright, self-involved brother, who is vigilant in defending and protecting Sookie. He supervises a road crew during the day and is known for bedding the women of Bon Temps at night. During the first season, he is the prime suspect in the murders of four women, all of whom have a connection to him. After the death of his vampire blood-addicted girlfriend Amy, Jason believes that he must be responsible for the murders. He is then recruited by the Fellowship of the Sun, an anti-vampire church, who approve of what they believe to be his crime of killing "fangbangers" (i.e. people in sexual relationships with vampires).
