Alcide Herveaux is a fictional character in The Southern Vampire Mysteries, a series of novels by author Charlaine Harris.

[1] The author introduces this character in the third novel, Club Dead, when Eric sends Alcide to help Sookie find Bill Compton who has been kidnapped by his "maker" Lorena.

Alcide and Sookie seem to have a chemistry from the beginning, but he is emotionally tied to his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Debbie Pelt (who shifts into a lynx).

In the fifth novel, Dead as a Doornail, Alcide involves Sookie in the battle for pack leader between his father and Patrick Furnan.

Even though Patrick is found guilty of cheating, he still wins, kills Alcide's father and becomes leader of the Long Tooth pack.

Sookie acts as a mediator between these two groups and it turns out that these murders and disappearance were caused by another pack led by Priscilla Hebert, sister to Patrick Furnan's right-hand man.
