Lestat is the narrator of four Vampire Chronicles : The Vampire Lestat (TVL), Queen of the Damned (QOTD), Tale of the Body (TOBT) Thief, and Memnoch the Devil (MTD).
As a vampire, Lestat wants to use his evil image to do good. He wanted to be a good vampire. So he chooses to feed on evil-doers.
“Lestat,?says Rice,”is the bloodthirsty, wolf-killing, violent person who aspires to be infinitely good and can’t be.?
Lestat is the man of action. He wants to affect things and to make something happen. He loves to be the center of attention. That is one of the reasons why he became a rock star. Even since he was a mortal, he loves to be onstage and act. He loves to hear the audience applauding and calling out his name. He also wanted to change the world’s view about vampires.
“I mean for all that we have been to change! What are we but leeches now --- loathsome, secretive, without justification. The old romance is gone. So let us take on a new meaning. I crave the bright light as I crave blood. I crave the divine visibility. I crave war.?(TVL)
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 gray, 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 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 as to be powdered 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. (TVL)
