Lestat de Lioncourt is the most awesome vampire ever created. Born in France on November 7th, 1760. He created the vampires Louis de Pointe du Lac, and Claudia. Lestat is the protagonist, and/or anti-hero of "The Vampire Chronicles". He has been portrayed by both Tom Cruise(Interview with the Vampire) and Stuart Townsend(Queen of the Damned).

Lestat is self-described as being 6ft tall with curly blond hair and grey eyes that absorb violets and blues easily from surfaces around Lestat. He has a short and narrow nose and a mouth that is slightly large for his face.

Affectionately known as "The Brat Prince", Lestat is famous amongst other vampires, and knows many ancients.

Lestat was created by a vampire named Magnus who killed himself shortly after Lestat's creation.

Lestat has created six other vampires:

Gabrielle de Lioncourt
Nicolas de Lenfent
Louis de Pointe du Lac
Claudia
David Talbot
Mona Mayfair

Seven if one considers the film version of "Queen of the Damned" 'cannon'.

Quite unfortunately "The Vampire Chronicles" series has been overshadowed by the over-hyped, teeny-bopper, lame excuse for a vampire series "Twilight". Even though, Lestat was partial the basis of Edward.
Lestat is 50,000x better than Edward Cullen could even hope to be.
Fair featured Aristocratic protagonist of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. Read the Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned then watch Interview with the vampire(the movie with Tom Cruise as a perfect Lestat) and you'll have all you need to know about "The Brat Prince."
That tall blond man is Lestat de Lioncourt.

Team Lestat 

An anti-Twilight group formed by those of us who are sick of the constant fuss over a shiny tinkerbell reject who is too much of a pussy to drink human blood, as well as pissed by the crazed 13 year old fangirls who are under the impression that said fag is an actual vampire.
An example of a true vampire is Lestat de Lioncourt, the main character of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. Evil, cunning, charming, original (and not merely a pathetic example of cheesey romance) ACTUALLY sexy and not afraid to prey on humans, Lestat obviously reduces Edward Cullen to the sparkly pile of shit he is.
Summary: Team Lestat is for those of you who know that Lestat sucks blood, and Edward sucks cock. REAL VAMPIRES DON'T SPARKLE.
Group of Twitards: OMG, OMG!!! Edward is leik the BEST. VAMPIRE. EVERRRRR!!!!! He's so romantic and really hawt!! Omg, MARRY ME, EDWARD!! I'm so calling myself Mrs. Cullen from now on!! Omg, GO TEAM EDWARD!!! What team are you??!!!!!!11ONE!1??
Me: ... Team Lestat.
Twitard: OMG!! I tried reading that book CUZ I LUV VAMPIRES but it was liek so scary!!! Lestat is soo mean! He kills PEOPLE!!!! D: D: Edward is such a better vampire!!!
Me: .... *facepalm*

Lestat is the greatest vampire ever thought up and is the main character of Anne Rice's "The Vampire Chronicles." He is extremely gorgeous and EXTREMELY sexy. Sooooo sexy.
"`Listen, keep your eyes wide, ' Lestat whispered to me, his lips moving against my neck. I remember that the movement of his lips raised the hair all over my body, sent a shock of sensation through my body that was not unlike the pleasure of passion...."
