Oh definitely! This isn’t exactly what you meant but I remembered this dialogue from Hook, and my hand slipped, you can tell Lestat would be using a very annoying voice here to imitate Claudia:
You probably wanted a REAL answer, but I don’t want to spoil ya. Hit the jump for spoilation.
(For headcanons and to talk to a Viktor RPer, go to @viktor-de-lioncourt (who uses Jordan Sörbom as a FC) or @roselioncourt, both of whom care quite a lot more than I do about this character.)
Viktor is Lestat’s biological son, created during the course of Prince Lestat. In the mid-90s (I think?) Lestat had encountered some vampire doctor/scientists (they are vampires trained in and interested in the study of vampirism, running a lab just for that) and they *ahem* collect a biological sample from Lestat, with his full compliance.
HOWEVER, without his consent or knowledge, they use his sample to make baby Viktor! Baby Viktor has a mortal mother, so presumably, the DNA needed a little tinkering to make it work; Viktor is considered partially a clone, and in appearance he seems to be a carbon copy of Lestat (slightly taller, IIRC).
Lestat doesn’t know he fathered him until Viktor is no longer a baby (he’s at least 20?) and is used as a pawn in the shaking up of the vampiric matriarchy, so to speak. Father and son get reunited, everybody’s happy.
It’s unclear whether Lestat is also Viktor’s vampiric maker, he had asked Marius to be involved, and we might get more specifics in the next VC, Blood Paradise.
Louis is always Lestat’s fave, tho! We all know that.
I never thought I’d agree with that one time I saw someone say Hiddleston could make a decent Lestat and I disagreed because I couldn’t ‘see’ it,, but now that I’ve seen this, I might have to change my gods damned mind.
Well he already played the vampire Adam, “a post-millennial version of that glory-hog Lestat.” (an appropriate description by Amy Nicholson) I bet he could do our Brat Prince justice!
Lestat: Whaaaat?! How dare you, what are you implying, honestly, Marius, not EVERY blasphemous heartbreaking work of staggering genius is my fault.
Armand: You shared the pic on your FB.
Lestat: That proves exactly nothing.
Daniel: You captioned it, “LOOK WHAT I DID”
Lestat: …
Lestat: I took the picture.
Marius: In the daylight?
Lestat: …
Lestat: Timer feature *smirks*
All: (silence)
Lestat: (silence)
Marius: We don’t believe you. Please, PLEASE stop trying to rile human beings.
Lestat: None of you have one ounce, not one droplet of fun in you. Except for Louis and David. And Gabrielle. *grins, winks* Because ME *points at himself*
