It's a brief reference, but Julian is mentioned in Blood and Gold, which is the story of Marius de Romanus. As a vampire made in Roman times, Marius 'lives' through the advent of Christianity and observes the process of assimilation and fighting between religious factions objectively. It's interesting backgound.

The character of Claudia always made me uneasy – not least because that is my own daughter's name! I didn't know that Anne Rice had lost a young child. That explains a lot – as it does with Mary Shelley's losses influencing her story, Frankenstein.
