  • His face had regular features and in repose he might be handsome. But his expressions were so big that Mercy lost the shape of his features for the bright engagement of his grin169
  • Looked scarcely twenty179

Bone Crossed

  • Pale skin4
  • Brown eyes the shade of well oiled walnut17
  • Ash brown hair20

River Marked

  • Eyes like root beer in a glass with the sun shining behind it12

Frost Burned

  • Wasn't emaciated, but he had never regained the healthy look that he'd had before Marsilia's betrayal71

Night Broken

  • Gained weight since; Not enough to bring him back to where he’d been before Marsilia had nearly broken him, but close269

Vampires & Sheep - Vampire

Description

Moon Called

  • Like Zee, Stefan's magic tasted of earth, but there were darker things in Stefan’s spell than anything the gremlin had done around Mercy176

Blood Bound

  • Old enough to remember the Before Times; when vampires ate as they chose and reveled in the terror and the last throes of prey. When vampires fed truly16
  • Fangs shorter and more delicate than a werewolf's17
  • Vamped out he has curved claws on the ends of his elongated fingers17
  • Under intense emotion his eyes glow red/color of blood or rubies17
  • After Littleton bespelled him he was moving like Marsilia; like a puppet, or an old, old vampire who had forgotten how to be human20
  • Smelled like vampire and popcorn39
  • Stefan could lift his VW Bus without a jack63
  • Used small touches to make humans more at ease, like blinking or breathing67
  • Never answered to his maker71
  • Among the strongest of Marsilia's seethe152
  • Can disappear, the only one of Marsilia's to receive the gift155
  • Calling is one of his talents259

Bone Crossed

  • Was in a room with Mercy, Bran and Samuel for a quarter of an hour, and no one noticed him105
  • Can disguise what he is from other vampires if he's well fed; Stefan made it clear that he needed to feed in order to avoid detection105
  • Can jump from one location to another- and take others with him105
  • Can jump anywhere, but taking another person with him has a cost. He'll be useless for a day afterward106
  • If he has exchanged blood with someone twice, Stefan can always find him, no matter where he goes. Stefan could call him to him, and if he was near, Stefan could force him to come to Stefan153
  • After more time, can force a master-slave relationship as well162
  • Can't read the minds of his victims, except while he is feeding171

River Marked

  • Hasn't battled with any walkers for a hundred years or more321

Frost Burned

  • Had an awkwardness about him now, like most older vampires; as if he knew how he should act but couldn't quite feel it anymore; like he'd given up his last firm anchor to his humanity72

Night Broken

  • Can do his instant transport a couple of miles away with four or maybe five if he doesn't need to be conscious after the last one322

Silence Fallen

  • Feeding was a touchy subject for Stefan262

Smoke Bitten

  • Had been made a vampire in the Renaissance era161

Menagerie

Naomi(Deceased)

Rachel

Ford

Daniel(Deceased)

Josephine

Tommy

Blood Bound

  • Daniel was one of Stefan’s when he was human. He was more fragile than he appeared and he died while he fed Andre; who turned him and made him his153
  • Stefan was in the habit of talking with his people155
  • Stefan is seldom typical of anything; the stereotype of a sheep is present here, but not all encompassing162
  • At least ten people besides Stefan living in the house162
  • If Stefan doesn't come back they're all dead; Marsilia will farm them out or kill them165
  • Doesn't kill those in his menagerie165
  • He doesn’t kill those in his menagerie; When he gets them, they have to stay a couple of years, but after that they're free to go; It takes that long for him to establish enough of a connection to make sure they won’t go telling anyone they meet about vampires165
  • Stefan is patient, his people almost always rise because he waits for years longer than most vampires203
  • There are fourteen that live at his house; and maybe a dozen more who visit occasionally207
  • Stefan began to be concerned about the same things that caused the fae to reveal themselves. He told the seethe—and the ruling council of vampires—that they could no longer live as they were and expect to survive. He had already been maintaining a large menagerie because he didn’t kill his people—he has a reputation for being softhearted207
  • Stefan was hoping Marsilia could push some of the other vampires into more humane treatment of their menageries209
  • Not many vampires can afford to support as many people as he is209
  • Most vamps cannot control as many people as Stefan. There aren’t many vampires who can make their sheep love them209

Bone Crossed

  • They were all completely devoted to Stefan13
  • Can feed off his menagerie from a distance75

River Marked

  • It was Stefan’s job to take care of his people6
  • Stefan makes Ford stay inside7
  • Poor Stefan had tried to curl up and die because Marsilia had sold him out—and he’d done his best to take the remnants of his menagerie with him11
  • Only had four left in his menagerie after Marsilia's betrayal11
  • Stefan wouldn't talk to any of them after Rachel died11
  • Stefan is in real trouble. He’s lost a lot of his menagerie, and he hasn’t replaced them. They’re dying; he was dying26

Frost Burned

  • Stefan's menagerie were his friends, or at least dear pets he cared for62

Night Broken

  • Stefan was gentler on the people he fed from than other vampires Mercy had come into contact with. He found broken people or people who needed something from him so that the exchange—their blood and the course of their lives for whatever a vampire might provide them—was, if not even, a little more balanced294
  • Most members of a vampire’s menagerie died slowly, but Stefan’s people, mostly, thrived under his care297
