[INNER THOUGHTS]
Overview (a general personality): Russell appears to be charming and polite, but that façade can be easily broken, revealing him to be manipulative and almost Machiavellian. He occasionally speaks in an ancient Celt language, denoting his origins. He also cursed to Sookie in German. He believes humans have squandered the Earth and believes in protecting the environment of vampires.
After the death of his consort and progeny, Talbot, Russell's sanity ebbs. He speaks to an urn containing Talbot's remains. His actions seem much more erratic than before, and he goes as far as interrupting a newscast, after brutally killing the newscaster. He is entirely focused upon revenge on the Authority, the American Vampire League, and more importantly, those who have taken Talbot away from him.
Likes: Vampires being true to their nature, Talbot, Collecting things, Power
Dislikes:Eric, Bill, Pam, and Sookie - mainly Eric for killing Talbot but he also has a hatred for Bill, Pam, and Sookie. The FOTS and humans in general tend to piss him the hell off.
(Russell has the common powers and weaknesses of a vampire such as superhuman strength, speed and rapid healing. Due to his extreme age, he has been mentioned as the strongest vampire in the world. With his incredible speed he effortlessly chained the almost 1,200 year old vampire magister to a table and ripped part of a man's spine out of his body.
He has also displayed the ability to fly. His weaknesses include a stake to the heart, silver and fire; sunlight will rapidly kill a vampire of his age.
He requires very little blood to survive. He possibly can deduce information about other vampires just by smelling their blood, as seen with the Magister. Russell appears to also have the ability to feed on vampire blood as he has been seen drinking from Jessica)
[PERSONAL INFORMATION]
Job?: The King of Mississippi, duh.
Pets: Gin. Ha. Ha. Ha.
[HISTORY]
Russell Edgington was an ancient Celt from the Carpathian Mountains and a Druid. He was made a vampire around the year 900 BC. 700 years ago, he fled to Greece and met Talbot , a Greek prince whom he then took as his lover.
He has met Eric Northman face to face before Eric was a vampire, during the slaughter of his human family at the hands of Russell's werewolves. Eric could not see his face because Russell was wearing a cloak. ("Trouble")
According to Eric's report to the Authority, Russell's werewolves are likely responsible for the reports from the Turks of "jackals" at the Fall of Constantinople and the spread of disease amongst the Aztec Empire by war dogs of the Conquistadors in the 16th century
Russell ordered his pack of werewolves to kidnap Bill Compton, intending to bring him to Mississippi and offer him the job of Sheriff of Area 2. Russell intends to use Bill's knowledge of the Louisiana queen's secrets to start a war with her. Bill later swears allegiance to Russell and to Mississippi. Sookie Stackhouse sees Russell in a bar feeding his powerful blood to V-addicted werewolves, revealing how he is able to use them so effectively to do his bidding.
He has been using werewolves for over a thousand years and is the one responsible for the massacre of Eric's human family. Russell reveals to Eric that his dream is to unite all supernaturals (vampires, werewolves, shapeshifter's, fairies, witches, etc.) in order to conquer the human race and restore the natural order
(most of watched the episodes, so skipping on ahead.. )
Russell has been currently "buried" underneath cement with Eric's intention of keeping him for 100 years. Let's see what fate has really decided..
