Spellbinders (2005) by Mike Carey, and Mike Perkins.

Hey!

Kapetria says in her tale that she suspects that Memnoch is also one of those, yes:

"I suspect this Replimoid, Maxym, too survived the destruction that was soon visited on all of us. But not bodily as we did. I suspect that he exists as surely as Amel exists, and that his name is now Memnoch, who creates astral traps for unwary souls."

Memnoch acts like the Devil, but he actually isn't not in the... ultimate sense of the word, though I would argue he definitely is in the sense that he is that incarnation for the souls he keeps trapped in his purgatory.

Lestat... went a bit mad after his encounter with Memnoch. In part for thinking he helped the Devil, yes. And, supposedly, God. And because he saw the Hells. And Heaven.

The eye that was taken from him (and that he later got back) also served as a kind of anchor for similar beings, "angels", angels who then made him do their bidding.

"Angels," he said, musing, "or those who call themselves angels, or would have me conclude that they're angels; and they have come to me in the long years since I fled Memnoch. They've come to me as I lay like one in a coma on the chapel floor of St. Elizabeth's, the building in New Orleans which was bequeathed to me by Roger's daughter. It seems my stolen eye, my restored eye, my bloodshot eye, has established some link with these beings, and I could tell you a tale of them, but now is not the time." "They harmed you, didn't they?" I asked, sensing it in his manner. He nodded. "They left my body there for my friends to watch over," he explained, and for the first time since I'd seen him, he looked troubled, indecisive, even faintly confused. "But my spirit they took with them," he went on. "And in a realm as palpable as this very room they set me down to do their bidding, always threatening to snatch back this right eye, to take it forever if I didn't do what they bid me to do."

So the coma was not always voluntary, something David also guesses at in Merrick, and which Lestat here tells of in Blackwood Farm.

However - Lestat in PLatRoA also remarks that Memnoch has no power over him anymore (and interestingly he brings up Armand as a spellbinder here as well):

“Who was Memnoch?” “Why use the past tense?” asked Gremt. “You don’t think he’s hovering near you, quite ready again to sweep you up into his imaginary worlds?” “He can’t,” I said. “He’s tried. He’s tried for years.” They were skeptical. “Every spellbinder has a signature,” I said. “Once I learn to recognize that signature, I become immune. They can’t make it happen to me after that.” I studied them individually. “Centuries ago, Armand would seek to sweep me up in his spells. I learned to recognize them instantly.”

Sometimes we just need to calm the fuck down. This will help center and remind yourself to take a breath.

My object is a smooth crystal that fits perfectly in my hand.

As always remember, this is a guideline. Feel free to tweek to your own needs.
