Lestat was a European nobleman that was turned into a vampire, and even though he enjoyed it for a while, he grew frustrated about not being able to have humans adore him as a superior being. As such, he went into a deep slumber, which he was awakened from after hearing the sounds of early 2000s Nu Metal, of all things.
