However, Lestat remains a central figure in the upcoming season, with his presumed death weighing heavily on Louis' shoulders. The second season also explores more of Armand's real identity. First introduced as Louis' assistant named Rashid, Rashid is later revealed to be a young vampire who may possibly have his own intentions for Louis.
