Rogue vampires in True Blood and the Sookie books

Definition of a rogue vampire from Book 2

• Rogue vampires were the backward-looking undead; they hadn't wanted to be made known to humans any more than the humans wanted to know about them.
• Rogues refused to drink the synthetic blood that was the mainstay of most vampires' diets these days.
• Rogues believed the only future for vampires lay in a return to secrecy and invisibility.
• Rogue vampires would slaughter humans for the fun of it, now, because they actually welcomed a return of persecution of their own kind.
• Rogues saw it as a means of persuading mainstream vampires that secrecy was best for the future of their kind; and then, too, persecution was a form of population control.
