[66688] Lestats Children Clan (Reclutando)

My Father



As a mortal

Lestat is the seventh son of the marquis d'Auvergne and was born in 1760, in Auvergne, France in a castle belonging to his ancestors. Despite his apparent highborn background he grew up in relative poverty; his ancestors squandered the family riches. As the youngest in the family, Lestat stood to inherit nothing.

Perhaps the most pivotal moment in his mortal life was when he was nearly killed by a pack of wolves he was hunting in mountains surrounding Auvergne. He returned home a different person, determined to follow his own path.

He goes into a deep depression about his encounter with the wolves and the meaning of life, and with a friend, Nicholas, he leaves Auvergne and heads for Paris, intending to become an actor. During a performance, he attracted the attention of an ancient vampire named Magnus, who abducted and held him prisoner.

As a vampire



Finding Lestat "a worthy heir," Magnus made him a vampire. However, Magnus, weary of life, committed suicide soon after by throwing himself on a huge bonfire, leaving Lestat to fend for himself without any kind of guidance. Lestat found himself heir to nearly inexhaustible wealth, and began an adventure that led him all around the world.

Throughout his long life, Lestat was plagued by common philosophical questions, such as "Are my actions good or bad?", "Is there a God?", "Am I in His plan?", "What happens after death?", "What makes a person happy?" He found himself more in love with humanity than ever before, even if his relationship with mankind was savage. For a while, he saw life as "the Savage Garden", filled with beauty and death.

In the space of only a few centuries, Lestat became one of the most powerful of all vampires, surpassed only by the most ancient ones who age in the millennia. This was in part because the blood he received from Marius, one such ancient, was incredibly powerful, and because he had a relationship with the vampire queen Akasha.

Because of his boldness, Lestat's seniors referred to him affectionately as 'the Brat Prince', a title of which he was very fond. He was very vain and concerned with fashion, and would pause mid-narrative to remind the reader what he was wearing. Sexually ambiguous, he was attracted to whomever most interested him at the time. Most of his early experiences were with male companions. He himself explained this by saying the women in previous centuries simply weren't that interesting.
One such male companion was Louis de Pointe du Lac, a young Creole aristocrat from New Orleans whom Lestat turned into a vampire in the 18th century. For almost a century, Lestat and Louis lived, traveled, and killed together. Though Louis claimed that Lestat made him into a vampire because Lestat merely wanted his plantation, Lestat refutes these claims in his own book and says it was rather because he fell "fatally in love" with Louis.

Their relationship started badly with mistrust and half-truths, though Lestat gradually came to regard his friend as a kind of soulmate, albeit one who often resisted his "teachings" on killing and living life as a vampire. There was a certain element of sexual attraction implicit in their relationship, but whether it was actually consummated is a matter of debate.

Lestat and Louis "adopted" a young orphan named Claudia in 1795, and Lestat turned her into a vampire over Louis' objections, as to tie Louis to him, who wished to leave Lestat. While Lestat spoiled her and tried to teach her how to become a vampire, it was Louis she truly loved, and ignored Lestat on several occasions, something he resented greatly. In 1860, after 65 years of living together, Claudia struggled with the reality of what she was, an immortal who would never grow into a woman.

She rebelled and tried to kill Lestat by giving him a dead boy who appeared merely unconscious for feeding (in the VCs, vampires cannot drink blood from dead humans or it will carry death), then cutting his throat, and, with the help of Louis, dumping him in a swamp near the Mississippi, after he came back, she tried yet again by burning down the French Quarter house they lived in, horribly disfiguring him. After Claudia and Louis escape Lestat, Armand, the leader of a coven of vampires, briefly takes them under his wing.

In the late 1920s (1988 in the film version), Louis once again discovered Lestat, who was again living in New Orleans in a catatonic state. Louis turned his back on him in pity and disgust. This version of events is again refuted by Lestat, who said that he had no contact with Louis in that era, although he had been visited by Armand around that time. Whatever the truth, Louis and Lestat reunited in the 1980s, only to be caught in the events that are detailed in The Queen of the Damned.

Overall, Lestat tends to be an extremely unreliable narrator. He tends to gloss over his faults and exaggerate (or make up) his virtues. This is confirmed in the book The Tale of the Body Thief, where Louis attacks Lestat for constantly claiming in his books that certain events move him to tears. Louis sarcastically remarked that although he knew Lestat for more than two centuries, he did not remember him crying at all.

Louis



Mortal

Louis de Pointe du Lac was born in France in 1766, to a Roman Catholic family who emigrated to North America when he was very young. His mother, sister and brother, Paul, lived just outside New Orleans on one of their two indigo plantations, named Pointe du Lac after the family. This was the place where Louis' brother died, after a terrible quarrel with Louis. Louis had always thought that he was to blame and never got over the guilt of his brother's death. He became self-destructive, cynical and desperate, and longed for the release of death, but lacked the courage to commit suicide. He took to frequenting taverns, whore houses and other places of ill repute. He got into fights and duels in order that someone might make the decision for him and kill him to end his misery.

Vampire



It was one of these nights, in a tavern brawl, that he caught the eye of the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt, who fell "fatally in love" with the tragic Creole planter, appeared to him as an angel and offered him an alternative to his desperate, meaningless life. Lestat, upon seeing for the first time Louis' "fine black hair" and deep green eyes, was completely and immediately seduced not only by Louis's beauty, but also by his seeming lack of regard for life; "He seduced the tenderness in me." Lestat made Louis into a vampire, his immortal companion in 1791, and it was Louis with whom he would live, love, and kill for nearly a century to come.

However, Lestat was damaged from his own experiences in France and the Old World. He was not as gentle a tutor or as much of a friend as Louis would have liked, one of the central themes in Interview with the Vampire. An example of this is an anguished comment recalled by Louis in his memoir, where he muses: "I was thinking [...] how sublime friendship between Lestat and me might have been; how few impediments to it there would have been, and how much to be shared."

While Louis and Lestat were often at odds with one another, they did eventually form an uneasy sort of truce, with Lestat gradually coming to regard his friend as a kind of soulmate, albeit one who resisted his "teachings" on killing and living life as a vampire. There was a certain element of sexual attraction implicit in their relationship, but whether it was actually consummated is a matter of debate.

Interview with the Vampire details an ersatz familial relationship between Louis, Lestat and a third vampire, Claudia. Louis, in a moment of weakness, feeds from the six year old orphan, and Lestat contrives to make her into a vampire to, in his own words, "bind Louis to [him]". In saving Louis' life by giving him Claudia to love and look after, he destroyed Claudia by forever condemning her to the form of a six-year-old child.

Louis finally found a sort of peace with his "family," he taking the "maternal" role with Claudia, Lestat the paternal, and finding contentment in their family home at Rue Royale. Claudia, however, gradually matured in mind (if not body) and came to hate both of her "parents" for giving her immortality, in her own words, "this hopeless guise, this helpless form". She rebelled against Lestat, attempting to kill him in 1860 and escaped with Louis to the Old World to look for other vampires.

In Paris, the "father" and "daughter" finally found what they were looking for: fifteen vampires who disguised themselves as human mummers at the Theatre des Vampires. However, in the eyes of these vampires, Louis and Claudia are criminals. They had both attempted to kill their maker, Lestat and therefore ought to pay for their crime with their lives. Louis managed to escape death, however, as Lestat who appeared suddenly at the Theatre pleaded for his life.

Louis burned down the Theatre in a rage after Claudia's death and drifted through the world and time with the Theatre's leader, Armand, whom he was in awe of and loved. They separated very late in the 20th century in New Orleans.

In the early 1970s, Louis later claimed to have discovered Lestat in New Orleans, lost in a catatonic state. Louis turned his back on him in pity and disgust. (This may be a fabrication by Louis to lead Daniel to Lestat's haunt, on which Lestat remarks in his memoir, "Louis [...] had all but drawn a map and placed an X on the very spot in New Orleans where I slumbered [...] and what his intentions were, were not clear.")

Louis and Lestat were reunited at the end of the novel The Vampire Lestat in 1985 when Lestat was a rock superstar. In the events of The Queen Of The Damned, Louis and many other vampires came together at Maharet's house in the Sonoma Compound to fight against Akasha.

Louis was one of the only vampires to refuse the powerful blood offered by Maharet and Lestat, preferring to gain strength with age. However at the end of Merrick, one of the Vampire Chronicles, Louis had put himself into the sun after making Merrick a vampire. Lestat then gave Louis some of his immensely powerful blood (containing the power of some of the oldest and most powerful vampires in the world) to save Louis' life. It was noted by David Talbot that with this transfusion of blood from his master Louis may have lost some of his humanity and become more vampiric in nature. Whether this was in fact the case was not fully explored; later books did not focus on the character of Louis.



MARIUS



Mariuss mortal life:

Marius was born at the time of the Roman Empire. He was the son of a Celtic woman and a wealthy Roman, and was rather happy during all his life: life had never bored him nor defeated him. He was rich, educated and could do whatever he wanted. At the age of 40, he decided to travel throughout the Empire. At that time, he was writing an history of the world, obsessed with the idea of the existence of a continual awareness. One night, he stopped in a tavern in Massilia, where he met a Celtic Druid, Mael, who kidnapped him to change him into a god.

Mariuss transformation:



Mael abducted Marius because he was impressed by him and wanted him to become a god -in fact a vampire- to replace the God of the Grove, a burned and crippled vampire kept in an oak to preside over the harvest. Mael obliged him to learn the Druid language and customs, and after having learned all he needed to know, Marius was then driven to the oak where the burned vampire was imprisoned. There, the latter changed him into a vampire, but urged him to flee and to go to Egypt to discover why he and other vampires had been burned or destroyed. So, after being made a vampire, Marius broke free of the Druids and pursued this new course.

The guardian of Akasha and Enkil:

In Egypt, Marius met a vampire who told him about Akasha and Enkil, the first of all vampires. Marius discovered that if Akasha and Enkil were harmed, all the other vampires would be harmed the same way, since they were the source of all vampires. It means that if all vampires had been burned or destroyed, it was because Akasha and Enkil -who had become living statues- had been placed in the sun. So, whatever happened to them also happened to their children, and this discovery upset Marius. But one night, Akasha asked him to take her and Enkil out of Egypt. So Marius took them on an island in the Aegean Sea, where he built a shrine for them. He became their guardian for centuries, until Lestats rock music finally awoke Akasha.

His encounter with Armand:

In the 15th century, Marius had settled in Venice (Italia) where he lived among mortals as a nobleman. He was an artist and lived in his palace among mortal apprentices, painting religious pictures. One night, he found a mortal boy, Armand, in a brothel. He bought him, apprenticed him and fell in love with him. As a result, he transformed him into a vampire for he wanted Armand to become his immortal companion: his love was too strong to let Armand die. In fact, he made Armand so that he could join with another kindred soul. But six months after Armands transformation, they were separated, as Santinos Roman Coven decided to destroy Marius (by fire) and to capture Armand. Yet, Marius was not destroyed and survived by drinking the blood of Akasha. But after having recovered, he didn't come to rescue Armand, for he thought that Armand had willingly become a victim of Santinos coven and could easily free himself if he really wanted to. In fact, he did not see Armand again until 1985, when Akasha rised and planned to destroy the world.

His relationship with Lestat:

After Armand told him about Marius in 1780, Lestat decided to search for him, because he thought Marius could teach him what it meant to be a vampire and how to live as an immortal. Marius represented the wise teacher for Lestat. He was a sort of spiritual father, guiding him in the world of immortals and showing him Akasha and Enkil, the first of all vampires. Marius loved Lestat for his innocence and intelligence but he eventually sent him away for Lestat had drunk Akashas blood and could awaken her and Enkil, which would be dangerous for all vampires.

His personnality:

Marius is in love with humanitys progress. He wants to understand the mortal world and always wants to see what will happen next. He has a lot of supernatural powers but prefers to do things the human way because he thinks it is easier and more elegant. He really loves what is surrounding him, seems connected to the mortal world, and only kills evildoers.


Armand



He was a vampire created in the late 15th century in Venice, Italy. He was born with the name Andrei in the former Kievan Rus to an acclaimed hunter, Ivan. He showed great artistic skill from a young age, so the monks in the Orthodox Church employed him in painting their religious icons. They were so impressed with Armand's work that they told him that he possessed an unearthly gift, a Gift from God. Over time, tension between Ivan and the monks increased. The last straw was when the monks wanted to bury Armand alive in an underground tomb to paint icons until he starved to death. Infuriated, Armand's father told him to paint an icon for Prince Michael, the ruler of their province, and place it in a tree on the plains so that the Prince would know where his brother was. On the way there, the party was attacked and Armand was captured as a slave. He was taken by ship to Constantinople to be sold in the slave markets. During this time, Armand suffered an acute memory loss due to the immense emotional and physical trauma he went through, and forgot anything about himself or his native land.

A fifteen hundred year old Roman vampire Marius, a painter, bought him and took him to his household to raise him. Over the next two or three years, Marius and Armand had a close, sexual relationship.

When Armand was 16-17 years old, he engaged in a sword duel with an English lord, Lord Harlech, who was obsessed with him after spending three days and nights with Armand. Armand was stabbed by Lord Harlech's sword and nearly died of poison in the wound. To save him, Marius gave him the "Dark Gift": he made his young apprentice a vampire. The two lived in happiness for a short while until a Satanic cult of vampires, led by the vampire Santino whom Marius had scorned many years ago, raided Marius' palazzo and kidnapped Armand. Armand was forced to join the cult but while he performed all the rituals asked of him, he never truly accepted their teachings. He moved to Paris at around 1680 to lead the Parisian coven and stayed there for one hundred years, until the arrival of Lestat de Lioncourt, another vampire, with whom Armand fell in love.

He had his cult harass Lestat and Lestat's vampire mother, Gabrielle. The cult even kidnapped Lestat's mortal lover Nicki, forcing Lestat to their lair. Lestat retaliated by disproving the cult's religious convictions and beliefs, and declaring them ridiculous and unfitting for the times in which they lived. Armand, realising that Lestat spoke the truth, killed most of the cult members and joined the Théâtre des Vampires which Lestat founded for the four surviving members (Eleni, Laurent, Felix, Eugenie) of Armand's cult. In the late 1800s, Armand fell in love with the New World vampire, Louis. The pair left Paris after Louis burnt down the Theatre and drifted through the world and time. They stayed together until around the 1970s.

Armand later formed an almost-sexual relationship with Daniel Molloy, a young journalist who had interviewed Louis about his life as a vampire. In 1985, after a 7- to 8-year relationship, Armand turned Daniel into a vampire under desperate circumstances. Daniel was Armand's first and only fledgling to date. Soon after turning Daniel, however, the two split up.

Armand was present when Lestat returned from his journeys into Heaven and Hell. Armand was so struck by the sight of Veronica's Veil that he tried to commit suicide as an offering to God by exposing himself to the sun. He failed and was rescued by two mortals, Benji and Sybelle. He loved them and they returned his affections. He stayed with them to keep in touch with the "normal", contemporary world of humans.

Armand took his mortal friends with him to see Lestat in his catatonic state in a church. He then left them with his Maker, Marius, while he went to tell his life story to David Talbot, a fledgling of Lestat's. Upon returning to Marius' home, Armand discovered that Marius had turned Benji and Sybelle into vampires, which crushed him.

Armand is first introduced as an innocent, idealistic young man, but centuries of eternal youth in contrast to the unpredictable, often regrettable turns his life takes gradually transform him into a bitter cynic.


Akasha





Akasha is the very first vampire created.

As told in the novel, Akasha was originally from Uruk, or modern-day Iraq. She rose to become a Queen in Kemet, the land that would eventually become Egypt; she and her husband King Enkil wanted their people to turn away from their cannibalistic ways and encourage the eating of grains. Rice describes Akasha as a lovely young woman who was "almost too pretty to be truly beautiful, for her prettiness overcame any sense of majesty or deep mystery." Underneath her physical beauty, Akasha is a fundamentally dark, empty, nihilistic person with no sense of morality, ethics, or human compassion; her actions are almost always based on her insatiable need to fill her own inner emptiness.

Akasha eventually becomes fascinated by the spirits of the supernatural, forcibly bringing the red-haired witch sisters Maharet and Mekare to her court to commune with these spirits. Against their advice, Akasha forces the witch sisters to seek answers from the spirits to countless shallow questions she asks, but the ensuing answers, some in the form of obscene gestures, ultimately enrage the Queen by confirming her inner emptiness -- "She had asked questions of the supernatural, a very foolish thing to do, and she had received answers which she could neither accept nor refute." One spirit in particular, a bloodthirsty, aggressive entity called Amel, threatens Akasha and ultimately stages a weak but demonstrative attack against her. Akasha, in turn, has Mekare and Maharet publicly raped by her servant Khayman for their "witchcraft", and banishes them from Kemet.

One year later, the twin witches are recalled to the kingdom by Khayman, where they learn that Amel had kept his presence in the kingdom and that, when the King and Queen were coincidentally assassinated by supporters of cannibalism one night, the spirit of Amel joined with Akasha's soul as it rose from her body, re-entering her body through her wounds and fusing with her heart and brain to create an entirely new being: the vampire. Amel's deadly lust for human blood thus passed to Akasha. Akasha then took her king Enkil and passed the "Dark Gift" onto him, transforming Enkil into a vampire, and then made Khayman, who then passed it on to Mekare and Maharet. It was Mekare who tells the Queen what kind of being she has become, as well as explaining her newfound sensitivity to sunlight and thirst for blood.

As her progeny proliferate, Akasha's need for blood diminishes. Eventually she (along with Enkil) becomes a living statue, kept safe for centuries by guardians who know that she is the source of their existence and immortality. After one of these guardians tires of the task, he places Akasha and Enkil in the sun; vampires worldwide are burned or destroyed as a result of all being linked by the spirit of Amel that still resides in Akasha.

Akasha draws the vampire Marius to her and urges him to take her and Enkil out of Egypt. Marius does so and protects them for nearly two thousand years. At one point, Maharet stabs the statue of Akasha in the heart; as Maharet feels the energy leave her own body, it confirms the legend that to kill Akasha is to annihilate all vampires.

In 1985, the vampire Lestat wakes Akasha from her trance with his music. She rises and becomes a relentless destroyer, killing most of her vampire progeny worldwide while simultaneously kidnapping Lestat, who becomes her lover and cohort. She spares at least 16(Maharet, Mekare, Khayman, Louis, Jesse, Gabrielle, Armand, Daniel, Marius, Mael, Santino, Pandora, Eric, and the coven that made Quinn Blackwood; Manfred Blackwood, Petronia, and one from ancient Greece) vampires from her slaughter -- either ancient vampires she can't easily destroy, or Lestat's loved ones -- and demands that they join with her in her plan for a new world order: to kill 99% of the world's men and to set up a new Eden in which women, with Akasha as Goddess, reign. A heated philosophical discussion ensues; while Akasha insists that her plan is for the benefit of humanity in the long run and will usher in a new era of peace, Maharet boldly defies her and points out the underlying truth: that Akasha simply wants to dominate and be worshipped, to once again subject everyone to her will, and to once again create a new system of religious dogma to fill her inner emptiness, with absolutely no regard for the lives at stake.

The surviving vampires all refuse to join with Akasha, but before she can destroy them, the vampire Mekare arrives at the scene and shoves her into a glass wall. The broken shards decapitate Akasha. Maharet and Mekare then immediately grab Akasha's heart and brain. Mekare eats the brain and then the heart, and thereby the soul of Akasha; as Mekare does so, she takes into herself the source of the spiritual fusion with Amel and becomes the new life force of the vampires, while Akasha's ancient body finally disintegrates into colorless dust.


Enkil



Enkil was the King, who ruled with Akasha. He was the first person she made into a vampire. Together they are later referred to as "Those Who Must Be Kept" and are motionless as statues. Marius eventually has the task of keeping them, and it is while in his keeping that Akasha destroys Enkil and consumes his blood as she no longer needs him and feels imprisoned and dead around him. With Enkil's powers added to her own she becomes the single ancestor of the vampiric race.

In the book The Vampire Lestat it is specifically spelled out that Enkil and Akasha were made into vampires at the same time by a demonic infusion but it is later explained in Queen of the Damned that Akasha made Enkil into a vampire, after she was first made by demonic infusion, in order to save him from the wounds inflicted upon him by citizens of Kemet. At numerous points in the canonical history of Rice's books, Enkil rises from his throne to defend Akasha from being drained of her powerful blood. Marius rescues Lestat from being destroyed by Enkil after Enkil rises and hits him away while he is drinking from Akasha, despite the fact that Akasha appears to have summoned Lestat to her. We see, then, that Enkil is not merely Akasha's guardian and consort, but that he maintains his own will and emotions, including jealousy. It is never explicitly stated, but his jealousy over Lestat being so close to Akasha when receiving her blood may be a contributing factor to his murder at Akasha's hands, or at least to Akasha's desire to replace Enkil as her consort.
