Personality & TraitsEdit Lestat is every bit an aristocratic vampire who is the best vampire in the world, having lived and performed as an actor in 18th century Paris, he epitomises everything about the aristocracy of that era. A bold, enthusiastic and defiant being, who delights in his own arrogance and conceited attitude, Lestat carries himself with the aura of richness and entitlement that comes only from a privileged upbringing, and which gained him the affectionate title ‘the Brat Prince’ by his vampire superiors, a title he takes great pleasure in. Egotistic, Lestat is greatly concerned with fashion, taking the time to pause mid-narrative merely to remind the reader what he is weLestat001xg5Lestat played by Stuart Townsend in Queen of the Damned. QueenLyraTheDarkAdded by QueenLyraTheDark aring, and as a singer and musician who plays both the piano and violin more than reasonably well, he relishes the attention that comes from performing on stage to a crowd, which began in his mortal life as an actor and continued into his formation of a rock band called The Vampire Lestat which he formed with a group of humans in the 1980s. However underneath this façade, he is a tortured soul scarred by the turmoil and betrayal of his past. Having been illiterate as a human, after becoming a vampire Lestat learned how to read first in French and then in English, developing a great love of literature that made him quite the academic and a fondness for colloquialisms, he chooses to write his novels in English and notes that despite his French accent he speaks English ‘like a cross between a boatman and Sam Spade’. As an academic, Lestat became a creature of great philosophical thinking, proposing the deep questions of ‘are my actions good or bad?’, ‘what makes a person happy?’, ‘Is there a God?’ and ‘Am I in His plan?’.
