In Paris (1780), a vampire, looking to pass his immortality on to a worthy predecessor, discovers Lestat during one of Lestat's performances where his thoughts are filled with his experience with the wolves. The vampire, Magnus, kidnaps Lestat because of the courage he showed when fighting the wolves and forces Lestat into a world of immortality. Magnus then commits himself to the fire, leaving Lestat to discover and learn about his new existence alone.

He is perhaps one of the most powerful vampire alive.
