Emeraldine

Also Lestat:

If we’re talking about who’s about to join in here, it’s Marius (you know the guy Armand obsessively thinks about, but thinks is dead?), Lestat (the other guy Armand obsessively thinks about but is alive), and Louis (yet another guy Armand had been obsessed with who’s back in the picture).

In no sane universe is Daniel going to have the confidence to believe that Armand still considers him his number one or the object of his affection. He’s definitely going to question his actions and wtf he had been participating in for the last few months.

The reason Alex might be so damn soulless might be because Gabriella is his maker.

A vampire’s maker can determine what kind of vampire they will become. While some inherit their eccentricity, others may inherit their strength and prowess. And still others may inherit their viciousness and penchant for extreme cruelty. But how they are made also determines their vampire nature as well.

While makers often make their fledglings out of love, devotion, and/or obsessive affection for them, not all vampires are made that way. Some are made with malicious intent, methodically to create servants, or forcibly put in a position to make them (e.g. Jasper, Alexander).

Checkers is a revenant made by Jasper who is vicious and only lives to cause destruction and destroy his maker’s enemies. Daciana was made a revenant by unknown means, but was decaying by the time Louis and Claudia found her and it was too late. Doris was forcibly made by Alexander into a weak vampire by the Talamasca and lived in isolation to hide her entire existence.

While some vampires are unable to handle the madness of immortality upon their turning, others who are made without love are also bound to be born with some form of defect. Maybe Alex isn’t an exception to that.
