Jason Stackhouse

Jason Stackhouse is a fictional character from The Southern Vampire Mysteries book series by author Charlaine Harris. Introduced in the first novel, Dead Until Dark, Jason is Sookie Stackhouse's older brother and a road crew supervisor for Bon Temps, Louisiana. Stackhouse is described as sexually active and has had many sexual relationships with women in Bon Temps and its neighbouring communities. Initially portrayed to be callow and selfish, Jason's character changes as the series progresses and he begins to mature and become more supportive of Sookie and her supernatural issues. In Dead Until Dark, Jason is suspected of killing a series of girls in Bon Temps. Videotapes of his sexual encounters with each girl are damning evidence against him. However, Jason is eventually found innocent. In later books Jason is implicated in other crimes, and despite his innocence, these accusations continue to erode his reputation. In Dead to the World, Jason disappears. This occurs shortly after he begins dating Crystal Norris from Hotshot, a community of werepanthers near Bon Temps.
