The spirit who fuses with Akasha to create the first vampire. Rice had read that Amel was an ancient Middle Eastern word for evil.

Known to the witches Mekare and Maharet, Amel appears to them several nights after their first communication from Egypt, warning them that they will need his power, He is jealous of their bodies and their ability to feel pleasure, and he brags that he can draw blood. As he longs for contact with the physical world, he follows the twins to Akasha's court, where he performs tricks to enchant the queen. His antics undermine her beliefs, and she insists that the witches be punished. When Enkil sentences them to be raped by his steward, Khayman, Amel avenges them by menacing Khayman with poltergeist like activity for six months. Some people, known as flesh eaters, construe Amel's attacks as a sign that they should return to the former cannibalistic practices that Akasha prohibits, and so when Enkil and Akasha attempt to communicate with Amel, the flesh eaters finally stab the royal couple. (QD 319-343, 382-388)

Amel then enters Akasha's body, seeking a place to fuse with her flesh. A cloud of blood droplets surrounds her, then disappears into her wounds, whish magically heal as Amel settles into Akasha's heart and brain. Akasha then laps at Enkil's wounds, giving him her blood, thirst is unquenchable because Amel is a spirit of gigantic proportions and requires much blood to sustain himself. Both Akasha and Enkil make other vampires through the blood exchange until their intense thirst decreases. Amel spreads out into other vampires through the blood exchange, mentally and physically connecting them to one another. (QD 400-409)

Over centuries, Akasha and Enkil no longer need blood to survive because the increasing numbers of other vampires have taken on the burden of feeding Amel. (VL 437)

Memnoch identifies Amel as a soul from Sheol that had forgotten his human origins; as Amel watched people back on Earth, he had become envious enough of the flesh to try to possess it again. Amel was not the only such mutation. (MD 247)
