Lafayette is a flamboyant, charismatic homosexual. Although partaking in several illegal activities, he's a good person at heart, and is careful not to harm his customers with the drugs he deals. He takes care of his loved ones, no matter what strange problems they may have. He is suspicious and has gone through a lot in his life. He has a morbid sense of humor. Sookie calls him a "make-up-and-long-fingernails gay".
