Jorge Alonso de San Diego

Jorge Alonso de San Diego, born in 1484 in Andalucia, Spain, was a Vampire on the HBO original series True Blood. Played by Slovenian-American actor Željko Ivanek, Jorge, better known as the "Magister", makes his debut on the episode "I Don't Wanna Know" in the series' first season. The pride of his relatively poor family when ordained as a monk in 1484, Jorge was a fervent believer in the necessity of the Spanish Inquisition. He became one of the most feared "inquisitors" in Seville, and oversaw countless trials and executions, including some of his own relatives. When made a vampire against his will, as retribution for his role in the Counter-Reformation, he turned his misfortune into an opportunity to continue to pursue the same goals he had in life: rooting out subversives and heretics to uphold the common good.
