in the vampire lestat, what was the name of the vampire that played violin and had his hands cut off?

Question

and who is Baby Jenks

Answer 1

At the mortal age of fourteen, Baby Jenks was made a vampire by Killer following a fatal abortion. Baby Jenks was a prostitute and drug addict as a mortal, and after becoming a vampire, she brutally murdered her parents. She was one of the Fang Gang, a vampire coven of motorcycle riders who listen and dance to Lestat's music. Akasha destroys them on their way to Lestat's concert.

Nicolas de Lenfent is the character whose hands are cut off. Nicolas befriends Lestat when they are both mortals, and presents to him a fur-lined coat and boots as a token of the townspeople's appreciation for him killing the wolves. Together, in 1779, they go to Paris, where they join a small theatre.

He grows bitter after Lestat becomes a vampire, drinking heavily, and Armand's coven abducts Nicolas in an attempt to lure Lestat to them. Despite warnings from Gabrielle, Lestat makes Nicolas a vampire (in 1780), which only makes Nicolas more depressed. He reveals to Lestat that they were supposed to fail in Paris and that he despises him.

He goes on to become one of the creators of the Théâtre des Vampires, writing plays, where Armand must eventually restrain him in order to control him. Armand even removes Nicolas hands, to prevent him from playing the violin. In 1789, Nicolas destroys himself in fire.

Thanks Germaine :-) I had forgotten that they grew up together and were friends from the beginning...

Answer 2

Don't forget, Haleigh's mum, Nicolas de Lenfent was the son of the town furrier where Lestat's family lived. After Lestat had killed the wolves, Nicolas' father made it into the red fur-lined cape and boots.

There were dolls created with the cape and boots, but now, I can't even find any pictures.
