Vampire Authority

The Vampire Authority is a fictional organization featured in the HBO television series True Blood. They were introduced as a group in the "Authority Always Wins" episode from season five, and served as the central antagonists for the entire season.

The Vampire Authority is the collective administrative body governing all vampires. In the modern era, the Vampire Authority are seen as advocates of "mainstreaming", throwing support behind the proliferation of blood substitutes such as Tru-Blood. They established their North American headquarters in New Orleans, Louisiana. As it turned out however, most of the highest ranking members of the Vampire Authority were actually members of the Sanguinistas - a fringe group of religious fundamentalists, who normally act in opposition to the Vampire Authority. The last serving leader of the Vampire Authority was Roman Zimojic.
