Sam Merlotte
Sam Merlotte is a fictional character from The Southern Vampire Mysteries book series, written by author Charlaine Harris. He is introduced in the first novel of the series, Dead Until Dark. In True Blood, the HBO television adaptation, Sam is portrayed by actor Sam Trammell.
At the beginning of the series, Sam Merlotte is Sookie Stackhouse's employer and the owner of Merlotte's Bar and Grill in the fictional town of Bon Temps, Louisiana.
Sam is a shape shifter (or "shifter") and has the ability to physically transform into an animal he has seen (and imprinted on) at will. When Sam is introduced, the existence of shape shifters is not public knowledge (unlike vampires following the Great Revelation prior to the events of True Blood and The Southern Vampire Mysteries series.)
Sam is an army veteran who grew up in Wright, Texas. After his father died, he used his inheritance to buy the local bar in Bon Temps. His father and mother are both shape shifters.
After his birth father dies, his mother remarries a human male. Sam and his mother keep their abilities secret from his stepfather, brother, and sister. Sam is the only sibling to inherit the shape shifting ability, as lore states only the first-born of a shapeshifting couple inherits the ability to change.
All shapeshifters have a "go-to" animal, based on which feels most similar to their personality. Sam's preferred shape is a border collie. (In the eighth novel, he transforms into a lion to protect Sookie from werewolves.) Like all shapeshifters, Sam feels a strong instinct to transform during the full moon.
He is a reserved person and does not easily express his feelings. Although he is welcomed and accepted by the community of Bon Temps, he does not have many friends and few people know his past.
In Dead Until Dark, Sookie is working as a waitress at Sam's bar. Sam is romantically interested in Sookie; although they have kissed on more than one occasion, the two have never dated. Sam does not reveal his feelings until after she begins dating Bill Compton. Sam encourages Sookie to stay away from vampires. Both Sookie and Sam tend to be suspicious of the other's choices in romantic partners.
