You're not mixed up, but the lawyer is a fairy. The Harris 'verse has plenty of text that alludes to the mechanics of fairies without spelling it out. But basically a fairy can choose to be good (angelic) or bad (demonic) and implies that after a certain amount of time either becomes/behaves as a real angel or a real demon. It also implies that Sookie is a trial run (click to show/hide)for her cousin-fairy to become a guardian angel 'full-time'. Again, Harris doesn't spell it out, but you can call the Lawyer either a fairy or a demon and still be correct.
Sorry MoSeS. I didn't think it was a big enough plot point to spoiler, but my opinion isn't a good enough reason not to spoiler it.
MoSeS:
NOOOOOOOO! SPOILER ALERT Aludra .... I watch True Blood show but never read the books. Noooooo!!!!!
I just kind of glanced though and then looked away when I realized what I was reading, maybe I can forget it. :'(

Moses, the tv show is so very far from the books they are like different worlds with people who coincidentally have the same names. I think both are wonderful, but different. (Godric as Eric's maker made my head explode, but then so did Jason joining the Fellowship of the Sun.)
Star, I knew Mr. Cattaliades wasn't human, but wasn't sure exactly what flavor he was. Rechan didn't specify her proposed character's species.

Ditto this about the show.
As far as the character, without having to go look it up, I think Sookie refers to him as demon. And I'm just being lazy in not wanting to reach over and pull out my Kindle to search.
MoSeS:
Well what if I want to read the books. :P Which I just might...........
It's cool, I had already heard that the TV show was significantly different.
I love the show, for me it's probably in my top ten TV shows of all time.
Ofcourse I don't watch that many shows, but I like stuff like:
Rome, Nip/Tuck, Heroes, Supernatural, Charmed, Highlander
that's almost the extent of shows I have watched from start to finish
(besides a couple comedies Arrested Developement, It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia)
