The eldest son of a draper, Nicolas had been sent to school in Paris. During his first term studying law in Paris, Nicolas fell in love with the violin. Subsequently, he dropped everything and even took lessons from Wolfgang Mozart. He did nothing but play the violin until he failed his examinations.

Nicolas befriends Lestat when they are both mortals, and presents to him a fur-lined coat and boots as a token of the townspeople's appreciation for him killing the wolves. Together, in 1779, they go to Paris, where they join a small theatre.

He grows bitter after Lestat becomes a vampire, drinking heavily, and Armand's coven abducts Nicolas in an attempt to lure Lestat to them. Despite warnings from Gabrielle, Lestat makes Nicolas a vampire (in 1780), which only makes Nicolas more depressed. He reveals to Lestat that they were supposed to fail in Paris and that he despises him.

He goes on to become one of the creators of the Théâtre des Vampires, writing plays, where Armand must eventually restrain him in order to control him. Armand even removes Nicolas hands, to prevent him from playing the violin. In 1789, Nicolas destroys himself in fire.

An ancient Egyptian vampire, the Elder was the guardian of Akasha and Enkil prior to Marius. He was the cause of vampires everywhere being burnt (himself included), when he placed the ancient couple in the sun.

He does this to test the legend that the preservation or destruction of Akasha and Enkil is the determinant in the survival of the vampire race.

When Marius comes to remove the ancient couple from the Elder's care, the Elder becomes enraged and is killed by Akasha.

Eric was made a vampire by Maharet around BC1000 at the mortal age of thirty. He survives Akasha's worldwide slaughter due to his immortal age of three thousand years and is one of the immortals that gather at Sonoma to stand against Akasha.

Flavius is a one-legged Greek mortal slave who Pandora falls in love with in Antioch. He becomes Pandora's companion and protector even after she is made a vampire.

To the disgust of Marius, Pandora makes Flavius a vampire as he lay on his deathbed riddled with disease. He was forty years old.

When Marius discovers what Pandora has done, he sends Flavius away. Before he left, Flavius thanked Pandora for the immortality she gave him.

Before she became a part of Armand's first Parisian coven, Allesandra was part of Santino's satanic coven (the coven that took the immortal Armand from Marius). With tangled and filthy grey hair, and clothed in antique rags, Allesandra questioned Armand on "Those Who Must Be Kept".

Given the Dark Gift in the forests of France, and older than Santino, Allesandra went to Paris with Armand to lead an abandoned coven. She gave Armand his current name (previously Amadeo).

Clothed as an ancient queen might have been (to use Lestat's words) and older than Magnus (she was part of the coven from which Magnus stole the dark gift), the "queen vampire" exhibited a degree of lunacy and claims that predictions she has made have all come true upon Lestat and Gabrielle's capture by the coven.

Often by Armand's side, the "queen vampire" encourages Lestat and Gabrielle in their protests against the coven, and accepts the couple, saying she will never harm them. She commenced the destruction of Armand's coven by jumping into the fire to join Magnus (to use her words).

A spirited boy of twelve, Benji was bought from a nomadic Arab tribe by Sybelle's brother Fox to care for Sybelle, which Benji loved to do. Benji was the genius of the tribe, able to read English, Hebrew and Arabic, and was bought from the tribe under the terms of a long-term lease of bondage for which Fox paid Benji's father five thousand dollars.

Benji prayed for a demon to take his soul if only to save Sybelle from her violent brother, Fox. His prayers were answered (in a way) when Armand (after going into the sun) killed Fox. Benji, along with Sybelle, become Armand's mortal children, and he his later made a vampire by Marius.

Laurent is a vampire Baby Jenks meets during Akasha's worldwide slaughter of vampires. He is killed during this event. (He may or may not be the same Laurent from Armand's first Parisian coven — this is unclear.)

Over two-hundred years older the Vittorio, Ursula was a child bride to Florian. She was bought from her father. She made Vittorio a vampire.

Dora is a television celebrity who preaches about nourishing the soul through religion. She was raised by her father (Roger) after he killed Dora's mother (Terry) and hoped one day to make a spectacular impact on the world through religion. Her spectacular impact comes through Lestat. Lestat comes across Dora while he is stalking her father and he later becomes her protector after he kills Roger.

When Lestat returns from his journey with Memnoch, he shows Veronica's veil to Dora. She takes it from him and shows it to the world, declaring it an authentic miracle, and people come from all corners to see the veil for themselves. She breaks all ties with her former life and becomes the guardian of the veil.

One of five daughters, and fatherless, Babette lived with her family on a sugar plantation near Pointe du Lac. Louis came to her following her brother's death to guide her in managing the plantation.

After Louis burns down Pointe du Lac, he (with Lestat) seek the assistance of Babette for shelter as dawn approaches. She later demands the two of them leave after she discovers their true nature.

She died young and insane, insisting she had seen the devil at Pointe du Lac. Louis shunned mortal life after Babette, killing only strangers, as she had caused him too much pain, a reason he offers as to why he couldn't give her (and other mortals he befriended) death.
