  2. BT • <Lestat de Lioncourt> • The vampire who made Louis into a vampire and therefore was responsible for the telling of The Vampire Chronicles. He is the narrator of VL, QD, and BT.

  3. BT • <Louis de Pointe du Lac> • Louis is twenty-five years old when he becomes a vampire in 1791. A plantation owner in New Orleans, he owns seven other pieces of Louisiana property. He had made himself vulnerable to the vampire Lestat while he was deep in grief over his brother’s death.

  4. BT • <Claudia> • The five-year-old child made into a vampire in 1794 by Louis. ….When Lestat sees what Louis has done, he ridicules him. He declares that Claudia is now their daughter. Rice based Claudia’s appearance on her own daughter Michele, who died at the age of five from Leukemia. Claudia even shares Michele’s birthday, September 21.

  5. BT • <Magnus> • The maker of Lestat, he has survived for over three centuries. He symbolizes the darkness that exists beneath the Parisian facades of frivolity.

  6. BT • <Vampire cities> • Lestat names several cities that he describes as perfect for vampires to inhabit. They are Amsterdam, for its late nights; Miami, for its color and restlessness; Paris, for its complexity; and New Orleans, for its sinisterness.

  7. BT • <Miami> • A bustling city on the eastern coast of Florida. Lestat calls Miami, a vampire’s city, for it is a happy hunting ground of the Devil. Its “winterless winters” are a metaphor of the vampire’s life within death. Miami is clean, thriving, and full of intense motion and speed. Its atmosphere in drowsy but relentless, with a “menace beneath the shining surface” of desperation, greed, risk, danger, and high energy.

  8. BT • <Raglan James> • A vampire hunter with a unique agenda. • Born in India, raised in London, and educated at Oxford. • James is a sixty-seven-year-old man currently inhabiting the body of a twenty-six-year-old. • A computer genius, thief, con man, and psychic, he is adept at taking possession of other people’s bodies; he knocks their souls out of their bodies, replacing them with his own.

  9. BT • <H. P. Lovecraft> • An author of supernatural fiction who was extremely popular in the 1930s. His short story “The Thing on the Doorstep” is the first communication that Raglan James uses to get Lestat’s attention.
