The rest of the cast is Armand, Marius, Pandora, and of course Lestat so go check out there pages for that info.
Daniel was first brought over to the world of vampires when Louis decided to tell him the story of his life. Afterwards he went in search of Lestat and something happened to him(I can't remember what because it's been awhile since I read Queen of the Damned to remember and as I said thorought this site someone is borrowing my books.) however he was saved by Armand and became his companion. The two of them kept getting into fights and Daniel would constantly leave him and in Queen of the Damned Armand turned him into a vampire because he was so close to death. So those of you who's knowledge is limited to the movie of Interview With the Vampire Lestat did not make him into a vampire and it didn't even happen that way. Daniel and Armand have now also called it quits for good.
Daniel, though alive and wandering, though civil and gentle, can no more stand my company than I can his. Equipped with my powerful blood, he can contend with any who should be foolish enough to interrupt his plans for the evening, a month or a year, but he cannot contend with my continuous company, and I cannot contend with his.
I turned Daniel from morbid romantic into a true killer; I made real in his natural blood cells the horror that he so fancied he understood in mine. I pushed his face into the flesh of the first young innocent he had to slaughter for his inevitable thirst, and thereby fell off the pedestal on which he'd placed me in his demented, overimaginative, feverishly poetical and ever exuberant mortal mind.
But I had others around me when I lost Daniel, or rather when gaining Daniel as a fledgling, I lost him as a mortal lover and gradually began to let him go. *pg.274
