Third Progenitor Lest Karr appears in chapter 22 in the Progenitor Council and listens to Seventh Progenitor Ferid Bathory's report about the battle at Shinjuku. Upon learning that the humans have gained power in Japan, he accuses Third Progenitor Krul Tepes of mishandling her management of Japan. He says he would be happy to take her place. When she calls him a child and orders him to be silent, he states that he is only 200 years younger than her and is more powerful anyway. After Ferid interrupts their argument, Krul insists she never fails.
When asked about the younger vampire standing behind Ferid, the silver-haired noble answers that he is his most favorite servant, whom he cannot bear to part from. One progenitor scolds Ferid for such rule-breaking, and another comments that the Seventh Progenitor has always been eccentric.
