Physically, Lestat De Lioncourt is 6 feet in height, with a creamy pale skin tone, a slim but athletically toned and muscular body build, dark brown hair that goes down to his shoulders, and hazel brown eyes. Lestat is considered very handsome and attractive.

Lestat was born on November 7, 1760, as the seventh son of the marquis d'Auvergne in the Auvergne region of France. Only two of his brothers survive to adulthood. While they are technically aristocrats, the de Lioncourt family's fortune has been squandered, and they live in relative poverty in their medieval castle.

Lestat's mother, Gabrielle, is the only literate member of the family. Lestat's father is blind and spends his days playing chess. Lestat's relationships with his father and brothers are bad - he tells his mother "I dream sometimes that I might kill them all. I killed my father and my brothers in the dream. I go from room to room slaughtering them as I did the wolves."

He attempts to escape from them several times, first by asking to remain at a monastery, and later by running away with a troupe of traveling players. In both instances, he is returned to his family. Encouraged by his mother, who sells her family heirloom jewels to purchase horses, guns, and mastiff dogs for him, Lestat takes up hunting and soon becomes the family breadwinner.

The townspeople of Lestat's village request his help with a pack of wolves that are terrorizing the town. He rides into the mountains and kills the entire pack of eight, losing his horse, dogs, and nearly his own life in the process. Although his bravery wins him the respect and admiration of the villagers, who present him with a lush red velvet cloak and boots made from the pelts of the wolves, he goes into a deep depression.

Prodded by Gabrielle, he eventually leaves Auvergne with friend and lover Nicolas and heads for Paris, intending to become an actor. During performances, he attracts the attention of an ancient vampire named Marius, who later abducts him and transforms him into a vampire against his will.

Immediately after turning Lestat, Marius abandons him, leaving Lestat to fend for himself without any kind of guidance. Lestat finds himself heir to a nearly inexhaustible fortune and begins an adventure that leads him all around the world. The vampire Lestat is awakened from decades of slumber by the sound of a hard rock band, and proceeds to take over as their lead singer.

Achieving international success, Lestat, having revealed the existence of vampires, taunts the others of his kind during an interview to promote his first and only live concert. In a journal he had written that had been recovered by David and Jesse, Lestat recalls how he was turned into a vampire by Marius and how he awoke Akasha, the first vampire, with his music.

In Los Angeles, Lestat is visited by Marius, who warns him that the other vampires will not tolerate his flamboyant public profile. Marius also reveals that Lestat's new music has awakened Akasha and begs him to cancel his concert, which he refuses. Meanwhile, Akasha, who is searching for Lestat, arrives at The Admiral's Arms. After the vampires reveal their plan to kill Lestat at his concert, Akasha torches the club and kills all the vampires inside.
