The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)

The fact that the Marquis has been completely absent from all adaptations of IWTV is honestly so ridiculous to me. He’s such a fundamental part of Lestat’s characterization, especially if you view IWTV as a standalone story. He gives us one of the only real glimpses into Lestat’s past: his age, his family, and some sense of why he is the way he is.

But more than that, the Marquis serves as a crucial link between the Lestat we meet in IWTV and the one we see in TVL. Every time someone claims the Lestat in TVL feels like a completely different person, I point to the Marquis. We saw Lestat caring for his abusive, bitter father in IWTV, a man who openly admits to mistreating his son. That alone shows us Lestat immense capability for love and forgiveness (even if he’s having a full breakdown at the idea of killing his father later on, which Louis can’t seem to comprehend). That side of him has always been there, it didn’t come out of nowhere in TVL.

Idk, I just have always thought the Marquis is a great character device and one of the best bits from IWTV. I mean, Louis kills Lestat's father, everytime I remember that I have to pause for a moment. A real shame we never got to see that.
