Name:Lestat de Lioncourt Age: More than a thousand years Gender: Male Race: Vampire. Sexual Orientation: Bisexual Physical Description: I am 5' 11" tall... I have thick, shoulder-length, fairly curly, blonde hair that appears white under fluorescent lighting. My eyes are grey but easily absorb the blue or violet tones of the skin around them. I also have a thin, fairly short nose and a well-formed mouth, although it is too large for the rest of my face. A mouth that can appear very mean, or extremely generous, but is always sensual. My vampire condition is highlighted by my skin, which is extremely white and reflects light excessively: this forces me to wear makeup to appear in front of any kind of camera. Psychological Description: I am very self-confident when it comes to beauty, but over time I have tried to find company, but I have not succeeded. Although I owe it to the fact that perhaps vampires are not prepared to live among us, with us, for a long time. Very curious and severe when it comes to judging, do not dare to provoke me. Intrepid and seductive; in fact they call me the James Bond of vampires. Honestly, I cannot live without experiencing new things. History:As a mature vampire I went through a lot before the war (during which, by the way, I took advantage of sleeping underground, because every so often, every few hundred years, I prefer to retire to rest), but perhaps the most accurate thing would be to talk about my life as a human before turning, because it might help you understand, a little, my unpredictable nature as a vampire. I was the son of a very noble lineage (in the 1700s) that had lost all its fortune thanks to the vices of my father, a man of little sense and remote interest in education, as well as all my brothers, and unlike me, and my mother. In my adolescence I discovered the theatre, which I fell in love with, but it took me to the

Lestat de Lioncourt is a fictional character who appears in the novels of Anne Rice. He was always a solitary and philosophical creature who, upon becoming a vampire due to countless experiences, evolved into an unstable, volatile, capricious and existentialist being. He is the main character of most of the stories in the Vampire Chronicles, narrated in the first person. His vampire initiation is recounted in detail in the second novel in the Vampire Chronicles, Lestat the Vampire.[1] Kidnapping Lestat, Magnus turns him into a vampire. However, tired of his life, he commits suicide by throwing himself into a bonfire, leaving the newborn Lestat without any guidance. Lestat finds himself at the same time heir to a vast fortune from Magnus. He begins an adventure that takes him around the world. Lestat has always been a very solitary creature. In his childhood the only member of his family he had any communication with was his mother. Gabrielle de Lioncourt was a beautiful woman of Italian descent from whom Lestat inherited his blonde hair, piercing eyes and good looks. Gabrielle was the only member of his family who could read and often immersed in her novels, neglecting the mundane life around her. Lestat both admired and hated her, however, she was the only person in his family he could trust and so a silent but strong alliance developed between the two. For this very reason Lestat made Gabrielle his first vampire companion when she contracted a deadly disease. His mother in a mortal life, daughter in an immortal one. Lestat also made his best friend Nicolas de Lenfent a vampire. The two worked at a small theatre called Renaud, Lestat becoming a star of the show while Nicolas became a violinist in the theatre's orchestra. Finally Nicolas, having never forgiven Lestat for his decision not to have converted him from the beginning, loses his mind.

Lestat is no longer a suitable companion. As for Gabrielle, insatiable for knowledge, she decides to leave him to go and explore the world on her own, it is then that Lestat finds refuge in the company of Louis de Pointe du Lac, a young landowner whom he turns into a vampire in 1791 and who is the protagonist of the first novel of the Vampire Chronicles: Interview with the Vampire. [2] For almost a century they shared their existence. Although Louis claims to Lestat that he made him a vampire simply because he wanted his fortune, Lestat refutes these allegations in his own book and explains that it is rather because he found himself "fatally in love" with Louis's incomparable beauty and beautiful appearance. The relationship between both begins badly, with distrust and half-truths, although Lestat considers Louis as his apprentice, he resists his "teachings" and living life as a vampire. In 1795, Lestat and Louis "adopt" a little orphan girl named Claudia, whom Louis fed on in a moment of weakness and sadness, but was later turned into a vampire by Lestat despite Louis' objections. Although Lestat tries to win Claudia's affection and tries to teach her his ways as a vampire, it is Louis whom she truly loves, and she ignores Lestat on several occasions, something that greatly displeases him. In 1860, after 65 years of living together, Claudia struggles with the reality of what she is: an immortal with the body of a child who will never be a woman, and with the hatred that is germinating against Lestat who, through concealment and the use of fear, tries to control the lives of everyone. Claudia rebels and tries to kill Lestat, giving him blood contaminated with laudanum to drink, then slitting his throat and stabbing him several times in the chest. With Louis' help, they leave the body near a swamp on the Mississippi. Lestat manages to survive thanks to the reptiles that live in the swamp, although he is left very weak.

With Louis' help, they abandon the body near a swamp on the Mississippi. Lestat manages to survive thanks to the reptiles that live in the swamp, although he is left very weakened. A few years later, and after Claudia's cruel death by vampires (who worked in the same theater that Lestat had started years before) as punishment for attempted murder against their creator, Lestat and Louis would meet again and recover their lost friendship. In the following novels of the series, such as Queen of the Damned,[3]​ The Body Snatcher[4]​ or Memnoch the Devil,[5]​ the character of Lestat undergoes an evolution as a vampire, seeing his powers and immortality expanded, thanks to the blood of Akasha, the mother of all vampires (events that occurred in the third novel of the series); his control of spiritual or astral travel outside the body, and Anne Rice's personal vision of heaven and hell, at the hands of Memnoch, the fallen angel who will guide Lestat on one of his journeys. Throughout his long life, Lestat is plagued by a number of 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 finds himself more in love with humanity than when he was part of it, despite his monstrous relationship with mortals. Lestat has a peculiar view of life that he calls “The Savage Garden,” full of beauty and death.

Lestat is a double vampire: by nature, after having been turned by the beastly Magnus, and by personality. With this story, what Rice intended, in a veiled way, is to tell the story of a distorted family. Claudia the daughter (inspired by her own daughter, Michelle, who died of leukemia at a young age), Louis the mother and Lestat the father. In this context, what the novel and then the 1994 film and the 2022 series investigate is an enormously toxic relationship, which emanates above all from Lestat, an egocentric, narcissistic and impulsive individual to the point of delirium. Shakespeare tried to create a narcissistic character with his Cleopatra and failed miserably, but other authors have understood very well how to write and how to delve into psychopathic personalities of this nature and have created great things. And both Tom Cruise and Sam Reid nail on film a character as complex, and at the same time as attractive, as Lestat, who in his condition as a double vampire we could say, if I may, that he is a vampire-vampire: for being an immortal bloodsucker, and for being a psychopathic companion.

Lestat is an egocentric, narcissistic and impulsive individual to the point of delirium. Lestat de Lioncourt An 18th-century French vampire and nobleman, Lestat de Lioncourt is one of the characters created by American author Anne Rice for her Vampire Chronicles series of books. Born in Auvergne to a wealthy aristocratic family, Lestat is attacked by a pack of wolves while hunting and nearly loses his life. From that moment on, he falls into a deep depression that ends with a trip to Paris where he is bitten by the ancient vampire Magnus. After converting his mother as well, Lestat lives with Nicolas, another vampire, but who decides to accompany Armand - leader of the Children of the Night - so that Lestat leaves Paris behind to travel to New Orleans where he will end up converting Louis de Pointe du Lac and adopt Claudia, a vampire girl who will end up being his downfall. Left for dead in a fire started by his last two companions, Lestat pursues them back to Paris in 1860, but Claudia is executed and Louis decides to stay with Armand. Little is known of Lestat's time until the 20th century, where - according to Louis - he ekes out a living, absent from everything, hidden away in a mansion in New Orleans. From this point on, Lestat sets out into the world again, forming a rock band and becoming a mass star as he travels the world in search of Marius. Lestat gains great power and knowledge of the origins of vampires and even plots a world domination. After discarding much of his plans and gaining a better understanding of his true self, Lestat eventually loses his vampire body by exchanging it for a human telepath. Later, Lestat, now back in his body, will become involved with the Talamasca, the secret society that watches over vampires, and will have several encounters with Merrick and the Mayfair Witches, even falling in love with Rowan Mayfair, the leader of his clan.
