Many vampires originated in other countries, Bill Compton is one of the few to actually originate in the United States. Bill Compton was a Lieutenant in the Civil War. He fought alongside ancestors from the current residents in Bon Temps as-well.

When Bill Compton was leaving the war, he made his way back home. He took a short cut and ended up near a cabin in the woods, in Bon Temps. He needed food, and shelter to restore his energy. That's where he met the estranged Lorena Kraisiki.

Lorena fed and helped Bill restore his energy. She came onto Bill, and he denied hercoming onto him. She liked the fact that he was so loyal to his wife and children, so she forcefully changed him into a vampire.
