I found this on ellisisland.org – Passenger Louis de Lioncourt boarding the ship La Bretagne in the port of Havre on March 5, 1907. His place of origin shows as Bordeaux. Top photo shows a page of La Bretagne’s manifest – next is a photo of the La Bretagne, then a closer shot of the manifest, line 22. The last picture gives the information shown on the manifest.
Looks like Louis sailed to New York (perhaps with Armand ?) in 1907 and used Lestat’s name as a pseudonym.
Some people have a problem with sexuality in the VC. As in, that the vampires can’t have sex. I think that’s totally wrong. It all depends on your definition of sex.
(Honestly I had a hard time even THINKING of a character who wasn’t a vampire, and then an even harder time trying to think of one I liked. I haven’t read any of the books that cross over with the witches. I would have picked David, but then he gets turned anyways. So I choose Louis’ brother. True we don’t see much of him, but the loving way Louis describes him in makes me like him anyways. And he reminds me Armand and Nicki, my two absolute favorites.)
Actually, there seems to be a few steps missing from this ‘guide’. I don’t want to mislead my fans into thinking they can achieve proper Lestatism in less than ten steps.
Have impeccable fashion sense
Fall in love with (almost) anyone who seems even remotely interesting…. except for Armand.
Remember to visit Louis at least once or twice every few years or so, less he start whining loud enough for you to hear it.
(Actually pretend youre not obsessed with Armand by saying you love everyone but him)
