Lestat De Lioncourt
Magnus created Lestat then killed himself and left Lestat to figure out what had happened. Some time after Magnus made Lestat and commited suicide, the vampire Armand and Lestat's paths cross and Lestat learns from Armand about the ancient vampire Marius, who everyone believes to be dead but Lestat won't believe it but becomes obsessed with his search for Marius. He seeks Marius out to get a teacher who Magnus refused to be to him. About 9 years pass until finally Marius, who indeed is alive, comes to Lestat and becomes his mentor, friend and a father-figure. We first meet Marius through Lestat's eyes in the book "The Vampire Lestat". The film "Queen of the Damned" (2002) had Marius as Lestat's maker in order to save minutes - according to the commentary track on the DVD - but that's not all they did, they also changed Marius's personality drastically... so, they just messed it all up, majorly.
Claudia was 6 years old when she was turned in to a vampire by Lestat.
