Biography[]
Terry Bellefleur's family has lived in the Bon Temps area for as long as the town has existed. A former soldier in the United States Marine Corps, Terry served during the first Persian Gulf War. Following the war, Terry returned to the United States suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. He found employment working as a bar back at Merlotte's Bar and Grill. Terry was a kind-hearted individual, but his PTSS also made him one of the more colorful figures found at Merlotte's. He was sometimes given to extreme outbursts of emotion, but on the average, he was usually known for his quirky mannerisms and occasional facial tics.
