HistoryEdit

Dead to the WorldEdit

In Dead to the World, Pam explains to Sookie Stackhouse the true nature of witches, revealing that real witches can do plenty of bad things to vampires because witches control magical forces. This group seems to be more powerful than other witches and they either want to take over Eric's businesses or make Eric pay them money to leave him alone. The leader, Hallow, and her brother threatened Eric that they would curse him by turning Fangtasia's alcoholic drinks bad, and cause patrons to trip over the dance floor and sue them, which would badly affect Fangtasia’s revenues. Pam tells Sookie that a witch had come with a message from Hallow saying that Hallow lusted for Eric and offered that if he would entertain her for seven nights, she would only demand a fifth of his business, rather than half. This coven of witches has a lot of power that they are willing to use for evil, that they drink vampire blood, and that they are werewolves as well. Holly Cleary also tells Sookie that this new coven has called all local witches and Wiccans to join them.

The novel reaches its climax when the Shreveport pack (including Alcide Herveaux  and Debbie Pelt), the Area Five vampires, and the local Wiccans fight together against Hallow and her coven. The coven is defeated and Hallow is tortured until she un-hexes Eric, and then Pam kills her.

Physical AppearanceEdit

Hallow is so tall and slim she resembles can be confused about her gender, except from her bosom. She has short thick brown hair. She also has a narrow nose.

PersonalityEdit

Filled with barely contained rage and uncontained greed, the Hallow can be ruthless cunning in arranging crooked business deals. However, she is impulsive and thus not a planner.

Powers and AbilitiesEdit

Hallow was an average witch with a vast knowledge of the supernatural; Hallow acquired great power by accessing other witches abilities. Amongst her natural skills are:

• Magical Knowledge: Marnie had a vast knowledge of the magical arts, occultism, astrology and ceremonial magic, due to years of study and reading.
• Witchcraft: By summoning divine intervention and the hidden powers of nature, Marnie had the potential ability of altering reality at will.
• Necromancy: She was able to control vampires.
• When Hallow was channeling magic she possessed the magical abilities such as energy projection, necromancy, mind control (over vampires) and the creation of energy fields.
• Telepathy Detection:  Hallow was the first person to ever detect that Sookie was inside her head.

Hallow was a werewolf. In wolf form she was more likely more powerful than a human, but weaker than a vampire of a moderate age. In human form however; she can be defeated in a fight- as seen between Hallow and Pam. (Hallow's strengths were enhanced during the fight due to vampire blood). In human form she displayed heightened senses.

RelationshipsEdit

Mark StonebrookEdit

Main article: Hallow and Mark's Relationship

Hallow and Mark were brother and sister, caring for each other dearly. She was devastated when her brother was killed. She was then killed herself.

Eric NorthmanEdit

It was shown that Hallow lusted after Eric and she wanted half of his business in at Fangtasia. She soon started to hate him at the novel's climax.

Pam Edit

Hallow was killed by Pam, and tied up by her also. Pam was one of the people Hallow hated. 

Holly ClearyEdit

She blackmailed Holly into joining her in the "war" against the vampires. She took a picture of Holly's son and claimed that she would be able to track him if she did not obey. She was made to stand guard while Hallow did some kind of ritual.

Witches of Bon TempsEdit

Some witches and wiccans did not want to join Hallow in her quest for power. Some did and they fought against the vampires and place a spell on Eric Northman, and soon most of the witches died. Except three Wiccans.

Actor PortrayalEdit

In the HBO series True Blood, Hallow's character undergoes a number of changes from book to screen and has a more promient role than in the books. She is portrayed by Fiona Shaw through the series.
