Bill does go on to murder both them in vengeance as well. She makes a comment about having to “bury her clothes” due to her new friendship with a dangerous man and seems more upset that she would worry her grandmother than about what actually happened to her. Not that I’m attempting to justify his flaws I’m just pointing out an alternate way of viewing it. Knowing he had that ability lessens the severity to some degree. While it was painful and traumatic, he knew she could not die and that her pain would be gone in a few minutes like a bad dream. Disobeying a command from the top like that would be a crime worthy of death or serious serious punishment. Bill was on assignment for the queen of his territory. It would be very indelicate for a man from his time period to say “hey don’t be surprised if you have some hardcore sex dreams about me it’s just a side effect of going all pagan and drinking my blood like a good little whore”. Even at that point in time S1 E1 where his humanity is somewhat “lost”, he is still very chivalrous and old mannered. Though he has a very dark past, his intentions are very much normal: he wants to live a simple life and stay out of trouble.Purposely vague isn’t necessarily accurate. Unlike most vampires who are outwardly aggressive or domineering, he’s an incredibly compassionate and humane vampire. Personality… Bill’s a true Southern gentleman: polite, kind and good-natured. He’s also accused of murder by the sheriff, he murders a vampire, and he has to raise a newborn vampire. First he’s ostracized by the community, then he falls in love with Sookie, who he’s supposed to be tracking, then he has to fight for and protect an often-reckless and uncooperative Sookie.

Initially treated with outright fear and hatred by the community due to the fact that he’s the first vampire to come to Bon Temps since vampires “came out of the coffin.” After being accused of several murders, Bill is eventually treated neutrally by most townsfolk due to his generally quiet and peaceful presence. After the death of the last living Compton family member, Bill returns to Bon Temps for reasons unknown. He spent much of his young vampire life having violent orgies with his maker before growing tired of his murderous and immoral lifestyle and leaving Lorena.
