marius de romanus
later, his mother, gabrielle, arrives to say goodbye to him, herself dying of consumption (tuberculosis). in order to save her, lestat transforms her into his first immortal companion. the pair run afoul of the children of darkness, an ancient cult of devil-worshipping vampires led by a vampire named armand, who attack them and kidnap nicki to punish them for breaking vampire law. lestat and gabrielle rescue nicki and, after a heated debate with armand, lestat causes the coven to dissolve by denouncing the old ways and encouraging the cultists to modernize. lestat later turns nicki into a vampire, but the transformation drives him mad, and his resentment of lestat quickly destroys their friendship; he later commits suicide by "going into the fire," from severe depression. armand "shows" lestat the history of how he was made by marius. compelled by the idea of marius, lestat leaves markings carved into rock in numerous places while traveling with gabrielle, hoping that one day, marius will see them and find lestat. whilst in egypt, abandoned by gabrielle, lestat sleeps in the ground after being burned by the sun, and is recovered by marius who takes him to his secret mediterranean island. there, marius shares his past with him, and shows him those who must be kept, akasha and enkil, who are the progenitors of all vampires. once marius has given his warning to lestat not to go see them again, and leaves on a short outing, lestat takes nicolas's old violin and plays for the king and queen, awakening them. akasha feeds from lestat as lestat feeds from her. then, enkil, furious at the intrusion, attacks and nearly kills lestat, who is saved by marius, and then sent away.
