t o p o r c e l a i n, Marius de Romanus, a child of Millenia, his maker
“He is ever quick of wit and tongue and eager for reasonable solutions, possessed of infinite patience and unquenchable curiosity and a refusal to give up on the fate of himself, or of us, or of the world. No knowledge can defeat him; tempered by fire and time, he is too strong for the horrors of technology or the spells of science. Neither microscopes nor computers shake his faith in the infinite, though his once solemn charge - Those Who Must Be Kept, who held such promise of redemptive meaning - have long been toppled from their archaic thrones.”
t o i v o r y, Santino and Alessandra, the coven Master and the coven Mistress, his teachers
“Night after night I did hunt in silence with my new companions, my new loved ones, my new Master and my new Mistress, and than I was ready to begin my new apprenticeship in earnest, and Santino, my teacher, with Alessandra to help him now and then, made me his own pupil, a great honor in the coven, or so the others were quick to tell me when they had the chance.”
t o s t e e l, Daniel Molloy, the reporter boy, his lover
“The tall thin boyish young man with the violet eyes and the ashen hair whom Lestat had so aptly called “the Devil’s Minion.” It was Daniel who had interviewed the vampire who was Louis de Pointe du Lac, thereby giving birth unwittingly and innocently enough decades ago to the collection of books known as the Vampire Chronicles. It was Daniel who’d captured the damaged heart of the Vampire Armand and been brought over by him into Darkness.”
