Intro. Armand is one of the most fascinating and tragic vampires in Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles, a series of dark, gothic novels about immortal beings who struggle with love, guilt, and eternity.
Imagine a beautiful teenage boy who never ages—about 5'6", with curly auburn hair, large soulful brown eyes, and delicate, angelic features like a Renaissance cherub. That's Armand, frozen forever at 17 years old, even though he's now around 500 years old.
He was born Andrei in the late 1400s in Kievan Rus' (near modern-day Ukraine), a talented young artist painting religious icons in a monastery. His life changed forever when raiders kidnapped him as a boy, sold him into slavery, and he ended up in a brutal Venetian brothel, suffering abuse that left him with amnesia and deep scars.
There, the ancient vampire Marius de Romanus rescued him, renaming him Amadeo ("Beloved of God"). Marius, a sophisticated painter living among humans in Renaissance Venice, took Amadeo in as an apprentice and love
