Nicolas de Lenfent

Nicolas de Lenfent, nicknamed Nicki is a fictional character in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles series.

They find work in a small theatre on the Boulevard du Temple, called Renaud's, where Lestat begins acting, and Nicolas plays the violin.

Nicolas de Lenfent appears only in The Vampire Lestat, the second novel in The Vampire Chronicles, although he is referenced in other works in the series, including The Tale of the Body Thief and The Vampire Armand.

Nicolas appeared as a character in the short-lived Broadway show Lestat: The Musical composed by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, and was played by Roderick Hill.
