Magnus (The Vampire Chronicles)
- Magnus (The Vampire Chronicles)
Magnus is the vampire who sires the vampire Lestat in Anne Rice's novel "The Vampire Lestat", the second book in "The Vampire Chronicles".
Magnus is characterized by black hair and eyes of the same colour. As a mortal, he was an alchemist. He was an old man when he trapped a vampire in chains and stole the Dark Gift/Blood for himself. That happened apparently in the course of the Middle Ages.
Over time, he was driven mad from his vampiric nature and immortality. He sought an heir to inherit the immense wealth that he had accumulated over the years before killing himself. Magnus searched for years for his heir. He had hundreds of decomposing bodies stored in a room of men that didn't quite strike his fancy. After choosing Lestat as his heir, Magnus leapt into a fire, leaving Lestat to stumble across this place by himself: Lestat was extremely distressed to see all the corpses had brilliant blond hair and startling blue eyes like his own.
