Lestat : Until tonight, and she chose me. Marius : I chose you! Armand : She drank Akasha's last drop. She took Akasha's death into herself. Marius : She's not dead. She sleeps. Marius : Hello, David. Lestat : How did you manage to slip through the 50's in red velvet?
Marius : I slept. Lestat : Don't think you've missed much. Marius : Elvis? Lestat : Elvis, yes. Marius : You're bigger than he is now. Marius : A vampire's life is a life of discretion.
Lestat : Discretion? Why should we hide, Marius? We are the powerful. We are the immortal. We should walk fearless in the open. Marius : That cannot be. We are vulnerable during the day. Mortals must never know of us. Lestat : So I could never know her? Marius : Not unless you wanted to kill her.
Lestat : So I can never be known? Marius : You must be dead to the world. Lestat : [meeting for the first time in years] So, after all this time, what's the occasion?
Marius : You've just become very hard to avoid these days, at least in conversation. What are you trying to prove Lestat? Lestat : Oh please, it's a little too late to come over all paternal now Marius. Two-hundred years and not a word from you. Marius : You almost cost me everything, and now you've done it again. This isn't the time to settle old scores. Lestat : Vampires don't settle old scores, we harbor them.
Marius : Appreciate your prey. Lestat : [after sensing Akasha has awoken] Akasha! Marius : Arisen. She has taken the King's blood; absorbed his power. Lestat : Good. Let her come. Marius : Cancel the concert.
Marius : You're no match for her Lestat, you're not a god. We were once mortals, too; it is our heritage we protect. Lestat : Such reverence for mortals.
Then you should have left me as one. He was an illegitimate child of a Roman patrician and a Celtic slave from the land of Gaul. Contrary to his appearance in the movie Queen of the Damned in which he was played by Vincent Perez he has white-blonde hair curled at the shoulders and cobalt blue eyes.
Due to his age, his skin is often described as being as pale and hard as white marble. When he was approximately 40 years old, he was abducted by druids from a tavern who followed the religion of the Gods of the Groves and was taken into their Grove.
There, he was made into a vampire by the God of The Grove just before the yearly Feast of Samhain and instructed by the said God to go and try, with any means possible, to find out why vampires in other places - and himself as well - had been burned or destroyed when they have not been exposed to fire or the sun.
Marius lived in a number of different places in his two thousand years of life. After separating with her, he moved to Rome where he had the silent companionship of Avicus and Mael.
He went into a coma-like sleep for "far more than half a century" before he was awoken by Avicus and Mael and the three set sail for Constantinople. It was there he knew Zenobia. They lived there for a very short while before Marius went off on his own and visited many places while drifting through time before Going Into The Ground again in He awoke again in and visited Rome and Florence briefly before settling in Venice as a rich eccentric gentleman who painted for his own pleasure.
Here he opened a home for neglected and abused boys who had talent, fell in love with the Venetian courtesan Bianca Solderini , found the mortal Armand , and lived for many years before the Children of Darkness led by Santino destroyed his house, severely injured Marius and took Armand whom he had made a vampire by this time.
Most of the time he is seen wearing rich, red velvet coats. Marius is an exceptionally sagacious, wise and optimistic vampire. He is one of the oldest known to still survive, a true Child of the Millennia.
He has a great passion for the arts, is a master painter and great scholar. He loves to read and to write. Marius's interests include all manner of intellectual and artistic pursuits. Marius was a citizen of the Roman Gallic city of Massilia, born in 30 B. He was the illegitimate child of a Keltic woman from the land of Gaul and a wealthy Roman. Marius was a scholar and chronicler by the age of twenty, traveling quite a lot and visiting all the great European cities.
During this time when he was twenty-five, he met a young ten year old girl by the name of Lydia whom he wished to marry, but was denied by her father due to her young age. At the age of forty, Marius was abducted by Druids to become the replacement for their dying God of the Grove.
Mael , a Druid Priest, educates and prepares Marius to be their perfect God. During the night of the great Feast of Samhain, Marius is taken to an oak grove where the God of the Grove who is badly burnt when Akasha and Enkil were put into the sun, tells Marius lessons of the vampires. He urges Marius to escape the Druids and go to Egypt to find the answer as to why vampires were burnt or destroyed the world over.
The God of the Grove whose name is revealed to be Teshkamen in Prince Lestat makes Marius a vampire, exchanging blood with Marius several times to ensure his strength. Marius escaped the Druids, and later found Akasha and Enkil in their inanimate state. He removes them from their keeper's clutches with Akasha's urging and consent, taking them to Antioch.
There, he finds his love, Lydia, now known as Pandora, and makes her into a vampire when her life is threatened. Pandora enchanted and dazzled Marius and they live together for years in Antioch, bringing flowers and singing hymns to Enkil and Akasha. Over the years, Marius and Pandora frequently quarreled which finally leads them to separate. Much later, Marius moves from Antioch and becomes enamored of the famous painter, Botticelli.
He is most tempted to give him the Dark Gift but his logic wins over. During this time, he opens his home to the public and paints the walls of his house. Much to Marius's surprise, he comes across Mael, who is now a vampire, and Mael's maker, Avicus.
Marius feels much hatred towards Mael, for it was Mael's doings that Marius was now a vampire. Marius befriends Avicus, and the three live together in the same area without disturbing one another, until Mael discovers and demands to see Akasha and Enkil. At one point, Marius's home is destroyed.
