Y’know I have to give you some credit for choosing Santiago bc he does not get nearly enough attention. Yes he’s a terrible, awful, monster, but he was a great character, a fantastic actor, a cruel antagonist… it takes some effort to be that evil!
I suspect and there is a secret fanfic that supports this theory that Santiago considered himself 2nd-in-command and maybe more to Armand, and he felt himself very usurped when Louis came into the picture, and had it in for Louis from the first moment Armand made heart-eyes at Louis.
Santiago deserved some decent backstory.

MY favorite character of IWTV… that’s tough. In terms of the movie I think all of the actors (even Antonio!!!) did a fantastic job with their roles. I’d go with Claudia only because she was just the perfect mix of sweetness and icy screamy-ness and just had Louis wrapped around her little finger.

In book!IWTV it’s Lestat who’s my fave… How can you not love him with this combination (and more!) of character traits: Charismatic, mixing silly with sinister, mysteriously hinting at a rich and traumatic backstory (which we definitely got later), and of course, lastly, intensely handsome.
