In a show full of half-truths, skewed narratives and warped memories, no “Interview With the Vampire” character has been quite as slippery for audiences to get a handle on as Armand (Assad Zaman). First introduced under the guise of Louis’ (Jacob Anderson) loyal servant Rashid, Armand stepped out of the shadows at the end of Season 1 and announced himself as Louis’ longtime lover and a powerful, ancient vampire.

In Season 2, we glimpsed many chapters of Armand’s history after he joined Louis in spinning the narrative of Daniel Molloy’s (Eric Bogosian) “Interview With the Vampire,” but we’ve yet to really understand the character and what makes him tick.
