A very short, hunchbacked woman, Dr. Amy Ludwig is knowledgeable in both human and supernatural medicine and specializes in treating supernaturals—and those attacked by the supernatural. She is also notoriously ill-tempered and has been known to employ a Were as her chauffeur and (presumably) bodyguard.
Dr. Ludwig first encounters Sookie when summoned to treat her after Callisto’s attack. Sookie is appalled when Dr. Ludwig licks the maenad’s poison from her back, but the good doctor knows best. After a massive blood transfusion, Sookie is healed with a minimum of scarring. They meet again during the packmaster contest, and when Crystal later suffers a miscarriage, Sookie calls on Dr. Ludwig for help.
It is to her hospital for supernatural patients that Sookie is taken after her rescue from Lochlan and Neave, along with a gravely ill Bill and a mortally wounded Tray Dawson, and it is there that the final confrontation between Niall and Breandan takes place. (LDID, DAAD, DD, DAG; mentioned DITF)

Luis and Antonio enter Fangtasia first on the night of Bubba’s performance, carefully checking out the club. As drinks are served, Luis samples a random glass before any of the others drink and then takes up position at the front door. He and Antonio are captivated by Bubba’s show, but he reacts quickly when Eric attempts to stake Victor, rushing to his master’s defense. He does try to leave Fangtasia but is driven back in by Warren, who shoots him in the shoulder. Although wounded, he puts up a fight and is finally dispatched by Rubio. (Dies DR)

Madden, Victor (vampire):
Victor Madden cheerfully announces himself when he arrives at Sookie’s house the night of the takeover by Nevada king Felipe de Castro, secure in the knowledge that his side has prevailed thus far. He is willing to burn down both Fangtasia and Sookie’s house if Eric and Bill don’t capitulate. For a time, Victor remains in New Orleans to oversee Area One personally, but eventually he sends Felipe de Castro’s representative back to Nevada and attempts to watch over the entire state himself as he begins to consolidate his power.

For a time, Victor remains in New Orleans to oversee Area One personally, but eventually he sends Felipe de Castro’s representative back to Nevada and attempts to watch over the entire state himself as he begins to consolidate his power.
Victor witnesses Sookie’s presentation of the knife to Eric, as Eric planned. Victor knows that she is Eric’s wife and that Felipe has extended his protection to Sookie. But when Sookie asks for help while she is being hunted by Breandan’s people, Victor ignores Eric’s petition for her protection. When Bill calls Eric with the news that Sookie has been kidnapped, Victor chains Eric and restrains Pam to keep them from going to her aid, unwilling to let the vampires get involved in the Fae War. At first he pretends to disbelieve that Felipe has made any promises to Sookie. And when Pam is finally able to contact the king, Victor tells Felipe he had forgotten that Eric and Sookie are married. Felipe forces Victor to let Eric go to her aid.
The ambitious vampire continues to amass more power and begins plotting to discredit Eric, the only sheriff left from Sophie-Anne’s regime. Unwilling to allow Eric to have use of Sookie’s telepathic ability and worried about her powerful grandfather, he secretly sends his second, Bruno Brazell, and a female vampire named Corinna to waylay Sookie and Pam. Sookie and Pam prevail and cover their tracks. When his two vampires don’t show up for work, Victor can make no accusations against the Area Five vamps or Sookie, as Bruno and Corinna were never officially there. Although Victor is named regent of the state, he soon moves his power base to Area Five, opening Vampire’s Kiss and Vic’s Redneck Roadhouse while living in a mansion between Musgrave and Toniton. He continues to bait Eric, summoning him for a meeting at Vampire’s Kiss and then preventing Pam from checking security, bringing Pam’s sickly human lover to the bar in an effort to goad her to react, rubbing fairy blood on glasses in the hope that Eric and Pam will drink from them and cause problems. Victor’s actions cement the decision that he must die, and he is lured to Fangtasia by the promise of a performance by Bubba. An ardent fan, Victor does indeed get to hear his idol sing. But the performance is cut short when Eric and his supporters make their move. In the ensuing fight, Victor meets his final death at Pam’s hands. (FDTW, DAG; dies DR; mentioned TB, DITF)
