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.

"Lestat definitely did not push Louis' brother, he definitely didn't. Louis' brother saw something. He saw some sort of vision, and he plunged down the stairs. And the real agony of Louis is he doesn't know whether that vision was a religious vision, or whether his brother was simply crazy. And he'll never know, because his brother died, but Lestat didn't have a darn thing to do with it. Never did. I would have mentioned it a long time ago if he had been responsible. I realize only in retrospect that it looks suspicious.like Lestat set it up, but he didn't. Lestat wouldn't do that. He wouldn't kill an innocent like the brother. In fact, Lestat might have been more interested in the brother than Louis, if he'd gotten a chance to know him."
