Hoyt Fortenberry

Hoyt Fortenberry is a major character appearing on popular HBO TV series True Blood. Though normally a protagonistic character, he has his antagonistic side, too as seen in his arc in Season Five with Jessica Hamby (his vampire love). He is good friends with supporting protagonist and main prototagonist Sookie Stackhouse's brother, Jason Stackhouse, both seeing himself as a good person. He is portrayed by Jim Parrack.

PERSONALITY
Sweet and good-natured, he is the only person Sookie Stackhouse knows whose thoughts are consistently kind and broad-minded. He is also remarkably progressive toward vampires and other social outcasts. This is in stark contrast to his mother, Maxine,, who was extremely prejudiced and judgmental of most people, humans and vampires alike. His lack of experience with, and high respect for, women makes him extremely shy around them. Unlike his best friend Jason Stackhouse, he has no desire for frivolous hook-ups, and remains a virgin until he meets and falls in love with the vampire Jessica Hamby. For the majority of Season 1, he is bossed around by his mother, but begins to assert his independence in Season 2  Throughout the series, his character development shifts from happy-go-lucky to a much more serious and emotional young man.

POWERS AND ABILITIES
Hoyt is  is quite strong, which is likely due to his athletic lifestyle in high school, and his strenuous professions of working on a road crew and an Alaskan oil-drilling ship. He is strong enough to knock out Jason Stackhouse with a single blow.
