  Lestat de Lioncourt aka The Vampire Lestat®

Lestat, he's the Vampire that charms people. He has lived for thousands of years, had a few vampire fledgings & a few brushes with Death. He was once described by Marius, an old vampire, as 'the damnedest creature'. Indeed, he is one! Ever rebellious & also the 'brat prince', he has always had his way.

When he was alive, he belonged to an aristocratic family. He went to London with his friend, Nicolas. It was there that he was captured by a vampire & turned into a vampire himself.

To describe him physically, he has blond hair, eyes that are grey & of course, extremely fair skin for a vampire.
Lestat cannot stand to be alone. He is stubborn, daring & never obeys orders. Little wonder then, that he always gets into some trouble or other.

His character kinda 'charmed' me. He is one cool character! Lestat is not only physically attractive, he is also appealing in terms of character as well. Few can beat him in this area. He goes ahead to do what he wants to do and doesn't think of the consequences. I think this would be what most people would call courage.

Below is an extract from the book by Anne Rice,
"The Vampire Lestat" .


I am the Vampire Lestat. I'm immortal. More or less. The light of the sun, the sustained heat of an intense fire - these things might destroy me. But then again, they might not.

I'm six feet tall, which was fairly impressive in the 1780s when I was a young mortal man. It's not bad now. I have thick blond hair, not quite shoulder length, and rather curly, which appears white under fluorescent light. My eyes are grey, but they absorb the colors blue or violet easily from surfaces around them. And I have a fairly short narrow nose, and a mouth that is well-shaped but just a little too big for my face. It can look very mean, or extremely generous, my mouth. It always looks sensual. But emotions and attitudes are always reflected in my entire expression. I have a continuously animated face.

My vampire nature reveals itself in extremely white and highly reflective skin that has to be powered down for cameras of any kind.

And if I'm starved for blood I look like a perfect horror - skin shrunken, veins like ropes over the contours of my bones. But I don't let that happen now. And the only consistent indication that I am not human is my fingernails. It's the same with all vampires. Our fingernails look like glass. And some people notice that when they don't notice anything else.

Right now I am what America calls a Rock Superstar. My first album has sold 4 million copies. I'm going to San Francisco for the first spot on a nationwide concert tour that will take my band from coast to coast. MTV, the rock music cable channel, has been playing my video clips night and day for two weeks. They're also being shown in England on "Top of the Pops" and on the Continent, probably in some parts of Asia, and in Japan. Video cassettes of the whole series of clips are selling worldwide.

I am also the author of an autobiography which was published last week.

Regarding my English - the language I use in my autobiography - I first learned from a flatboatman who came down the Mississippi to New Orleans about two hundred years ago. I learned more after that from English language writers - everybody from Shakespeare through Mark Twain to H. Rider Haggard, whom I read as decades passed. The final infusion I received from the detective stories of the early twentieth century in the Black Mask magazine. The adventures of Sam Spade by Dashiell Hammett in Black Mask were the last stories I read before I went literally and figuratively underground.

That was in New Orleans in 1929.
