Louis de Pointe du Lac Birth: 1766 Dark Gift: 1791 Maker: Lestat
Louis is the narrator of Interview with the Vampire, the first book in the series. He is often described as the most human of the immortals. He seems to drift through time, with no purpose or goals. Louis does not appear to enjoy his immortality, and longs to be mortal.
“Louis do Pointe du Lac…: slender, slightly less tall than Lestat, his maker, black of hair, gaunt and white of skin, with amazingly long and delicate fingers, and feet that do not make a sound. Louis, whose green eyes are soulful, the very mirror of patient misery, soft-voiced, very human, weak, having lived only two hundred years, unable to read minds, or to levitate, or to spellbind others except inadvertently, which can be hilarious, and immortal with whom mortals fall in love.”
