Armand was tainted as a young vampire and could have been greater if it were not for his childlike dependency on a stronger being (*hmm, my Amadeo [beloved by the god of love]). Marius simply is. Father and romantic, he is the history of all embodied. Claudia was vindictive, and it lead to her ruin, but she was pretty damn cool. I pitied her. Gabriel is awesome - modern woman. LeStat is LeStat - Brat Prince, James Bond of Vampires, all around bad ass hottie. Louis is a pity headcase but a sweet one. Akasha was simply powerhungry and Enkil was kneedeep and sinking with her. Nicholas was a tragedy. He is the Amadeo to Armand, but the version that has no one to save him.
