Long description from
The Vampire Armand
"Louis de Pointe du Lac, already described above, but always fun to envisage:
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, an immortal with whom mortals
fall in love. Louis, an indiscriminate killer, because he cannot satisfy
his thirst without killing, though he is too weak to risk the death of
the victim in his arms, and because he has no pride or vanity which would
lead him to a hierarchy of intended victims, and therefore takes those
who cross his path, regardless of age, physical endowments or blessings
bestowed by nature or fate. Louis, a deadly and romantic vampire, the kind
of night creature who hovers in the deep shadows at the Opera House to
listen to Mozart's Queen of the Night give forth her piercing and irresistible
song.
Louis, who has never vanished, who has always been known to others, who
is easy to track and easy to abandon, Louis who will not make others after
his tragic blunders with vampiric children, Louis who is past questing
for God, for the Devil, for Truth or even for love.
Sweet, dusty Louis, reading Keats by the light of one candle. Louis standing
in the rain on a slick deserted downtown street watching through the store
window the brilliant young actor, Leonardo DiCaprio as Shakespeare's Romeo
kissing his tender and loving Juliet (Claire Danes) on a television screen."
