Isabel Beaumont

"They feel much more strongly than we do. Everything is urgent, exciting. Maybe because their lives are so temporary."

- Isabel to Eric

Isabel is a vampire and a senior underling of Godric during his tenure as vampire sheriff of Area 9 in Texas.

Early life
Born in Castile in 1551 AD, Isabel was the granddaughter of the revered Isabella I, Queen of Castile. She was married off to several men in her youth, to form political alliances, however, her husbands always died within a year of the nuptials. Fed up with the paramaters of her life, Isabel begged her French lover, a vampire, to turn her.

Before Season 2
Isabel was involved in a relationship with a human named Hugo for undetermined time; as stated by Hugo, he had asked several times Isabel to turn him into a vampire so they can be together forever, but she refused.

Season 2
"Of Course, so the Federal Government can bomb us back in to the middle ages!"

- Isabel to Stan



Isabel was the vampire lover of Hugo and nest mate of Godric and Stan. Godric’s minion, Isabel is the first to suggest that Sookie and Hugo infiltrate the Fellowship of the Sun in order to get Godric back. Isabel, drops in on Bill and Sookie at the Hotel Carmilla with her human boyfriend, Hugo. He and Sookie bond over their mutual relationships with vampires as they prepare to infiltrate the Fellowship of the Sun.

Eric asks Isabel what she likes about being with a human, and she says it is because their mortality makes everything in life urgent and exciting, but also says it is a sort of "science experiment" to see Hugo age into decrepitude. Isabel accuses Eric of coveting Sookie but he denies being interested in her. At the Dallas nest, Hugo is presented as the traitor to Godric. Finding that Isabel still loves Hugo, Godric spares his life and exiles him from Dallas. After Godric is fired from his position as sheriff of Area 9, he recommends Isabel as his replacement. It is unknown if Isabel actually became sheriff.

Season 3
When Bill is kidnapped, Sookie contacts Isabel to see if she has any information regarding his whereabouts.
