ENKIL:

As Enkil you seek change, travel, new opportunities, and new challenges. Your active, restless nature demands action and you dislike system and monotony. As you are versatile and capable, you could do any job well, although you would not like to do menial tasks. Having considerable vision, you could be adept at formulating new, more effective ways of doing things. You could organize the work of others, though in your impatience to see the job done efficiently, you would likely step right in and do it yourself. You could work well in sales and promotion, and would not be afraid to risk a gamble as the name gives you much self-confidence. You do not find contentment in the routine tasks and responsibilities that are associated with home and family or with administrative detail in the business world, so you have to guard against frustration and even moods of depression over your personal responsibilities. The restlessness this name creates could find an outlet in caustic, irritable expression. Also, the intensity of your nature could result in tension in the solar plexus causing stomach trouble and, because you take your responsibilities seriously you could experience much worry.

BIOGRAPHY

An ancient Egyptian king who reigns before language was written and who is the first vampire made by Akasha.

Enkil marries Akasha, and together they turn their people away from the practice of cannibalism and toward a worship of Osiris and the cultivation of grains. He has a vision of all things united in good, of channeling all forces to the same divine course. (QD 314)

However when Akasha brings the twin witches Mekare and Maharet to their court, she invites disaster. A spirit named Amel besieges them, and Enkil, along with Akasha, attempts to harness the spirit's power for good. In the process, he and Akasha are struck down by their own people, who dislike their new decrees, and Amel enters Akasha, making her a vampire. In turn, Akasha passes vampirism on to Enkil. Together they become deities. (VL 438)

The vampires believe that Enkil houses the vampire spirit and that to destroy Enkil would be to destroy the entire vampire race. He and Akasha are initially trapped by rogue vampires for their blood, which is the most powerful because it is closer to the immortal source - the spirit Amel. Eventually Enkil and Akasha break free but become as living statues, motionless and silent. The Elder, an Egyptian vampire, stands guard over them for centuries, placing them in the sun when he tires of his task. Marius delivers the couple, known as Those Who Must Be Kept, from the Elder and keeps them in shrines that he builds around the world. (VL 438, 448)

In one such shrine, Marius reveals the king and queen to Lestat. Lestat succeeds in waking Akasha from her trance, but Enkil also awakens and moves to protect her. Lestat believes that Enkil actually imprisons her in the trancelike state. (VL 386, 487)

Marius keeps Enkil and Akasha safe for nearly tow thousand years, until 1985, when he finds Enkil's transparent corpse, bloodless and deteriorating. This makes it clear that Akasha is really the one who keeps the vampires alive, and that when she had no more need of Enkil, she destroyed him. (QD 29)
