Lestat
Lestat is the charismatic vampire protagonist created by Anne Rice, first appearing in *Interview with the Vampire* (1976) and central to her Vampire Chronicles series.
Known as "the Brat Prince," Lestat is flamboyant, rebellious, and morally complex—embracing his vampiric nature rather than brooding over it.
The name has become shorthand for a certain type of seductive, aristocratic vampire: He's got that whole Lestat thing going on.
