Akasha. The First Immortal: Born over 6,000 years ago in ancient Mesopotamia/Egypt, she became the first vampire after her body merged with a powerful spirit.

IN THE 19TH CENTURY-

Marius plucks a deeply depressed and isolated Lestat from an 80-year underground slumber. Marius tasks Lestat with watching over and nourishing Akasha, and her partner Enkil..

While in solitary confinement with her, Lestat plays violin for Akasha. The music awakens the ancient queen from her centuries-long sleep.

Akasha sits up and begins to feed on Lestat, which grants him immense power. That’s when Marius returns.. only to find Lestat stuck in the air. Akasha’s blood burning, coursing through him, and Akasha herself.. sitting up.. rambling on about various things. Refusing to be silenced again.
