Jacob Black is a shape-shifter of the Quileute tribe. He imprinted on the hybrid named Renesmee Cullen, the daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.

Generally, Jacob is very friendly, playful, carefree and caring towards the people around him. He would go to any extent to protect those he loves most, most obvious in Breaking Dawn when he disbands from his pack and sacrifices everything to protect Bella. He is also shown to be somewhat sarcastic, slightly obnoxious and slightly childish, and has a hot-headed temper due to his wolf side and highly dislikes the scent of vampires. He was also very hostile toward Edward, even before he phased, only because they were both in love with Bella, but they eventually come to terms with each other. After embracing his right as an Alpha and imprinting on Renesmee in Breaking Dawn, he begins to take the responsibilities of leading his renegade pack more seriously.

Like everyone else in his tribe, he had a prejudice against the Cullens and other vampires, viewing them as nothing more than blood-sucking monsters, but eventually warmed up to the Cullens and came to see them as something more than vampires.

Embry Call is a shape-shifter and one of Jacob Black’s best friends and most important pack members. Embry’s phasing points to his Quileute descent through his father since his mother, Tiffany Call, was from the Makah tribe. His father was assumed to be Billy Black, Quil Ateara IV, or Joshua Uley as the shape-shifting traits are inherited only within the Quileute tribe.

Embry is quieter and shyer than some of the other boys on the reservation. He is playful, but still comes across as being very reserved. Between Jacob and Quil, Embry is closest to Jacob because of their genuine interests in automotives and riding dirt bikes.

He seems to enjoy betting with other boys in the pack, especially Jared. He is more caring and loving than his pack members, and is also obviously very loyal to his friends as he is deeply upset when Jacob first broke away from Sam’s pack.

Quil is a Quileute shape-shifter & a member of Jacob Black’s pack. Quil was born and raised in La Push. His father, Quil Ateara IV, died in a storm when he was a child, leaving his mother, Joy, to raise him on her own. She had the help of her father-in-law, Quil Ateara III. His grandfather had always been aware of his grandson's legacy and potential destiny. Quil grew up as best friends with Embry Call and second cousin, Jacob Black.

Quil is naturally a cheerful and easygoing person. He enjoys being a wolf, and has a strong sense of loyalty to his tribe, packs and friends. Though some people view his connection to Claire as scandalous, he is purely concerned with her safety and happiness, such is part of the effects of imprinting.Since his mother and grandfather are well aware of his magical heritage, he has no reason to hide it from them.

Lucas Clearwater is the Beta of the Black pack and is the son of Holly Clearwater and Saul Clearwater. He is Sarah Clearwater's older brother, and Samantha Uley's ex-boyfriend. As a child, Lucas was very close to his cousin, Elliott Young. As a freshman in high school, Lucas began dating, and then fell in love with Samantha Uley until Sam saw Elliott for the first time after her phasing began and imprinted on him immediately.

As more time passes, Lucas finds himself growing angrier and begins to fly into a rage over the smallest irritation. His body begins to change without his awareness, and when he argues with his father about his mood swings, his anger causes him to phase for the first time and he destroys a couch in the process. Seeing their son phase, his mother suffers a fatal heart attack. Sarah witnesses the incident and the shock causes her to phase as well.

Lucas’s transformation causes him further pain because he holds himself responsible for his mother's death. Furthermore, he is forced to join Sam's pack, and their telepathic link reminds him that she abandoned him for his cousin, Elliott. He deliberately uses this connection to punish Sam and the pack both with his memories, and by bringing up uncomfortable subjects. He has also tried to go solo, but it did not work. Overtime he comes to forgive Elliott and Sam after learning the truth and agrees to be his cousin's best man.

Seth Clearwater is a Quileute shape-shifter & a member of Jacob Black’s pack. Seth was born and grew up in La Push with his family. As a child, he has always been happy, optimistic and purely kind. His parents had always known that he had werewolf genes of the Black, Ateara and Uley family lines, and would someday become a shape-shifter to protect their tribe from vampires.

He later goes with Jacob, Bella and Edward to serve as a connection between the pack and the small camp during the battle, and fights alongside Edward against Victoria and Riley. He manages to defeat Riley after an unneeded interference from Bella, who had thought Seth was wounded while in reality he was feigning injury. While Edward is fighting Victoria, Seth hurls Riley’s dismembered arm at her, knocking her out of the air as she lunges for Bella and giving Edward the chance to finish her. Seth then seizes Riley from behind and drags him behind a patch of trees where he tears him apart. After the battle, Seth develops a genuine friendship with Edward and returns to La Push as a hero.

Seth is slightly immature and childish, but cheerful, optimistic and exceptionally kind, much like Angela Weber. He idolizes both Jacob and Edward. Edward comments that he has one of the purest, kindest, sincerest minds he’d ever heard. He can also be depicted as forceful and independent when he wants to do something important.

Sam Uley is a Quileute shape-shifter and the Alpha of his own pack. Sam was raised on the Quileute reservation by his mother, Allison Uley. The stress of providing for a family was too much for his father, who left when Sam was very young. Sam took on most of what should have been his father's responsibilities, and as a result he was always very mature for his age. He had been taught the old werewolf legends about his great-grandfather but like everyone else of his generation, Sam believed they were myths.

During his senior year he became the first of his generation to phase into a wolf. Having no idea what had happened to him and struck by panic, he hid deep in the forest for two weeks. Finally, he calmed down enough that he turned back into a human while he slept & Old Quil was able to explain what had happened to him. Sam served as the Alpha that mentored the other shifters as they phased, until Jacob broke away to form his own pack to protect the Cullen family.

Sam is said to have been very mature since childhood, due to his father's disappearance. He took on most of the responsibilities that his father should have taken. He is also known to be tough, but caring and loving to his family and friends. Due to his hatred for his father, he does not like hearing him mentioned; even if it is by accident, he will become so angry that he phases.As his pack grows in number, Sam struggles with his role of Alpha, sometimes being too slow to take command, other times going too far with his authority by forcing the others with his Alpha voice.

He tries hard to balance his leadership and do the best for his pack. Jacob and many others think of him as a good Alpha. He is also known for sometimes making rash decisions when a potential threat is near, and will go against anything to stop it, as shown when he decides to throw away the treaty their great-grandfathers made with the Cullens to kill Bella's baby before she is born, because he worries about what she is carrying.

Jared Cameron is a Quileute shape-shifter, who first phases after Sam Uley, before Paul Lahote. Jared was born and grew up in La Push. He was a casual friend to Sam Uley, though Sam was ahead of him in school. Jared had an experience similar to Sam’s when he first phased; he panicked completely and ran away. But Sam quickly found him and explained and helped him through the rough beginning. As a result, Jared was able to resume his human form in a matter of days. He and Sam became best friends after their pack was formed.

After a while, their pack was expanded by the addition of Paul Lahote. When Emily Young had her face slashed by Sam’s sudden phase, he went completely frantic. Luckily, Jared was in wolf form as well, and heard his hysteria and contacted Paul, and then Sue Clearwater, who was a nurse and aware of their secret. Jared managed to revive Emily until Sue arrived to stabilize her and then got her to the nearest hospital. While Sam was desolate, Jared kept him updated on Emily’s condition. The next afternoon, he told Sam that Emily wanted to see him.

Paul Lahote is a Quileute shape-shifter and the third-in-command of the Uley pack. He was born in Tacoma. When his parents divorced Paul was eight, his father took him back to La Push and the tribe. He wasn’t close to either Sam or Jared, though he was in the same year of school as Jared. He showed himself to be a shape-shifter after Sam Uley and Jared Cameron, roughly at the age of sixteen. He had his own circle of friends, so it drew attention when he abruptly stopped hanging out with them and instead became inseparable from Sam.Since he was temperamental already before his transformation, this trait was intensified afterwards; he had a great deal of difficulty controlling his temper. More than Sam or Jared, he frequently phased by accident, which forced Sam to stay close to him to keep him from being noticed.

When Sam accidentally wounded Emily after a brief loss of control, Jared contacted Paul; he subsequently found Sue, who, as a nurse and aware of their secret, was the perfect person to help and brought her to Emily. After this incident, Paul began to take his temper problems more seriously and improved somewhat, though he still found control more difficult than the others.

Afton was born in Sweden sometime around 600 BC. He was the son of a local chieftain who led several villages & was a shining warrior in his father’s army. During an attack on a neighboring rival village, Afton & his men found the village already destroyed by three of the most terrifyingly beautiful women he’d ever seen. This, he would come to find out, would be the defining moment of his mortal life. The women brought his army to its knees & Afton was the last among them. Able to hide himself in the bloody corpses of his brothers, he attempted to impale one of them with his blade. This woman, named Charmion, was charmed by his effort & changed him rather than slaughter him. Afton woke up several days later in Volterra, thirsting for human blood.

Soon after this transformation, Afton became completely entranced by Charmion and the two quickly married. Thought Afton is a talented vampire, skilled soldier & excellent tactician, his relationship to Chelsea is what keeps him in the Guard as Aro does not value his natural ability.

Afton has a minor shielding skill, but it is limited by the fact that he cannot project it outside of himself. He has the ability to make himself invisible to attackers, but someone with a strong focus can see through the illusion. A person standing directly behind him can be hidden, too, but this is not a very reliable safeguard.

Alec was born in England around 800 A.D, the son of an Anglo-Saxon woman and a Frankish soldier. He was born a few minutes after his twin sister, Jane. Both Alec and Jane had strong psychic abilities that were evident even in their human state. Aro had shown interest in Alec and his sister since they were toddlers, but decided to wait until they were old enough to turn them (the Volturi had already instated its rules about immortal children) and so left them in the care of their parents. Their talents had not taken a focused shape at that point, but bad things happened to people who were unkind to the twins or their family, and good luck followed those who were friendly to them. Eventually, the superstitious locals found the twins too frightening to endure. They were accused as witches and condemned to be burned at the stake. Aro was apprised of the situation by a nomad who knew of Aro’s interest in the twins. Aro hurried to the village, arriving just in time to interrupt the execution. After being transformed, it is said that they are the cornerstone of the Volturi’s offensive abilities.

While he is more lively, less sadistic, and calmer than his twin sister, Jane. Alec has nevertheless proven to be just as ruthless and self-interested as she is. He can be considered the “sane” other half of Jane, looking at him from Volturi standards. He shows no remorse for taking anyone’s life and carrying out the Volturi’s frequently violent missions. There’s a quiet confidence about him that, given his readiness to kill, is usually terrifying.

Carter, originally named Croesus, was born in Greece before 1100 BC, not long after the original Volturi members. Aro discovered him in the midst of a difficult time for the Volturi, since his brother-in-law, Marcus, failed to find the killer of his wife, Didyme, and became suicidal and depressed. Aro had Carter use his power to tightly bind Marcus to the Volturi to ensure continuous loyalty. Since then, Carter became the linchpin in the Volturi as he keeps the other guards unified and the coven more functional. Because of his vital role, he often gets what he desires from Aro, who also uses Corin’s gift to keep him in the Volturi.

As a human, Carter lived in the Greek Dark Ages which occurred as the Mycenaean civilization fell. This was a very dangerous time to be poor, which Carter was. His father was a disgraced Mycenaean palatial bureaucrat and many believed their former wealth still existed, making them a large target that was constantly on the move. Eventually, Carter met and befriend a Greek vampire named Demetria. Soon after, she turned him into vampire & the two of traveled Europe with Demetria’s mate, Trajan. This didn’t last for long however & Carter eventually left them. Soon after, he encountered a trio of vampires with a plan for power. Their leader, Aro, was so taken by Carter’s abilities to manipulate relationships he invited them to join them, making Carter the founding member of their Guard.

Around 800, Carter was exploring what would later be known as Scandinavia & encountered a young soldier who had attempted to kill him. Charmed by the Swede’s guts, Carter changed him & brought him back to Italy as his mate. Aro, initially, refused Afton’s admittance but Carter gave them the ultimatum that Afton could stay or Carter could leave. Begrudgingly, Aro allowed Afton into the guard.

Carter has changed his name a few times over the millennia to keep it from attracting attention while frequently interacting with humans and vampires outside the city of Volterra. In the 1950s, he changed his name to Carter, and will use it until it becomes out of fashion.

Cho is a Korean born vampire & high ranking member of the Volturi Guard. Born sometime around 800, Cho’s father was a traveling merchant who constantly took the young Cho between Silla, China, & Japan. On his travels, Cho was miserable. His father was an abusive man & the conditions of his ships & caravans were pitiful. The only thing that kept Cho sane was exploring new places. Even if that was not enough to keep him happy, it kept him content. During a bout of financial trouble, Cho & his father were detained by the Tang Dynasty for unpaid debts. Even in the dire conditions, Cho wouldn’t succumb to his woes like those around him, something that caught the eye of an immortal prison guard named Jae-gyu.

Jae-gyu would come to Cho in the night & the two would talk for hours, immediately hitting it off. The night before his father’s scheduled execution, which would ultimately lead to Cho’s as well, Jae-gyu offered to save him from death & Cho accepted without asking for context. Several days later, Cho was a vampire. With Jae-gyu, he traveled beyond the small corner of the earth he had seen. Soon, their paths crossed with Aro’s & the Volturi. Aro extended an invitation for the pair to join them but Jae-gyu was not interested in sharing Cho nor was he interested in relocating to Italy. At Chelsea’s insistence, Cho changed his mind and joined the Volturi, watching without remorse as Felix killed Jae-gyu.

Cho is able to make anyone feel content in his or her circumstances. There is a druglike side effect to his skill, however. A person can become addicted to the feeling he produces, and be unable to feel well without it. Aro saw the potential for his gift & Cho became a linchpin in keeping Athenodora & Sulpicia happy after the death of Didyme.

Demetri is a member of the Volturi guard with the ability to track people through the tenors of their minds. Since no one has been able to conceal themselves from his sensing, he is a huge threat to those who wish to avoid the Volturi’s attacks.

Demetri was born in Greece and transformed by the Egyptian coven’s leader Amun. They were very close at the time and worked together to develop his tracking power. When the Volturi heard of Demetri and his powerful gift, he was offered a place in the guard. He easily obliged due to Chelsea’s power over emotional bonds. The Volturi already had a tracker, but once they found out that Demetri’s power proved stronger, they had him replaced. Ever since then, he had been the Volturi’s sole tracker; whenever anyone tried to elude the Volturi’s grasp, usually out of fear of fatal punishment, Demetri was in charge of tracking them down. As a tracker, he was significantly more talented than James and Alistair, and known as the best tracker in the world: his power allowed him to follow anyone anywhere as long as he had physically encountered the individual or anyone who had encountered them.

Not very talkative, he is reasonable, polite, even formal. He is very elegant and charming, but can be as cold & calculating as Aro when his temper has been flared.

Felix, born Lucius Cornelius Felix, is a high-ranking member of the Volturi Guard, who relies on strength and combat techniques to serve Aro, Caius, and Marcus rather than supernatural talents. His physical capabilities are so powerful that he had maintained within the guard for thousands of years.

Born in Rome in 40 AD, Felix was the eldest & illegitimate son of Emperor Vespasian. Without his mother scheming for his succession, Felix’s only claim to imperial life was by his father’s grace. From an early age Felix was bigger & stronger than any of the other children. By 16 he was bigger than even his father & had shown an unnatural proficiency for military tactics. Naturally, he was appointed to a General ship by his father & was a vital piece of his father’s conquest of Egypt in 69 AD.

While Felix was conquering Egypt for Rome, Caius was conquering Egypt for himself. Enamored by the young generals abilities, Caius drafted Felix to the world of the immortals in order for him to lead the newborn army to victory over the Egyptian vampires. Caius originally intended to kill Felix once Egypt was taken, but the Roman proved too useful to dispose of & was drafted to the guard. For thousands of years, Felix has been one of only a few constant members of the Guard. In a rotating staff of 20 to 30 vampires, Felix has been responsible for training each of them.

Felix is a stern, imposing man who looks as dangerous as he is. Once he opens his mouth however, he proves to be quite charming, confident & flirtatious.

Giovanni is a human employed as a secretary for the Volturi. He knows what the Volturi are and what they do and hopes to become a vampire. Before accepting a position in service to Aro & the Volturi, Giovanni was pursuing a doctorate in history from the University of Rome with a focus on ancient civilizations. During his research, Giovanni discovered several old documents from varying eras issued to the same alias & eventually (and painstakingly) followed the paper trail back to the city of Volterra. When a lowranking guard overheard him asking questions in the local records office, he was invited to meet with the masters.

Giovanni didn’t have much choice in the matter, having indirectly discovered the three ancients & thus vampires. He accepted the position as an alternative to death but quickly found his footing in the castle. The more he works with the guard & the masters, the more he begins to crave the immortal bite.

Though he knows he is currently in a career with a 100% mortality rate, Giovanni believes he can break the cycle & prove his usefulness to the masters.

Heinrich is a member of the Volturi Guard. He is the one who brings humans to them to satisfy their thirst with his ability to attract people. He might orchestrate a contest where the prize is an all-expenses-paid vacation to some random location, or a job position with an amazing salary.

Heinrich was born in Germany and had a hard and mistreated life. He came across a vampire named Hilda, who decided to change him out of pity. Heinrich had since lived long happy years with her coven (which was gradually expanded by the involvements of Mary, Victoria, Anne and Noela). During his time with his coven, Heinrich discovered his ability to appeal to others with his charm, causing humans to easily fall prey and vampires to find him extremely attractive. His coven’s newest member, Noela, was still a newborn when the Volturi accused them for attracting too much attention with their large coven. In truth, Aro wanted to acquire Heinrich to his “collection” because of his gift. Right after Hilda was executed, Aro decided that Heinrich was penitent and spared him; Chelsea then bound him to the Volturi and made him betray his own coven. The rest tried to escape, but only Victoria survived, until she was killed by Edward Cullen.

Heinrich became a key member of the Volturi. His primary duty is orchestrating elaborate ploys to bring human victims to Volterra for the sustenance of the coven. He is required to bring them from far away, without leaving a trail. Luring prey from beyond the city not only prevents hunting within the area but also gives the guard something to do when they are not annihilating law-breakers or protecting the city from exposure.

John is a high-ranking member of the Volturi Guard. He is the twin brother of Alec, and together they are the Volturi’s most powerful offensive weapons. John has the ability to induce a crippling, although illusory, pain in other people’s minds, which serves greatly in instilling fear and maintaining order to confrontations.

John was born in England around 800 A.D, the son of an Anglo-Saxon woman and a Frankish soldier. He was born a few minutes before his fraternal twin brother, Alec. Both John and Alec displayed strong psychic abilities that were evident even in their human state.

Aro was made aware of John and his brother through the thoughts of a visiting nomad. Aro had shown interest in adding John and his brother to the guard, but decided to wait until they were old enough to turn them (the Volturi had already instated its rules about immortal children) and left them in the care of their parents. Their talents had not taken a focused shape at that point, but bad things tended to happen to people who were unkind to the twins or their family, and good luck followed those who were friendly to them. Eventually, the superstitious locals found the twins too frightening to endure. They were accused as witches and condemned to be burned at the stake. Aro was apprised of the situation by a nomad who knew of Aro’s interest in the twins. Aro hurried to the village, arriving just in time to interrupt the execution. Once transformed, they became the most prized members of the guard due to their incredibly powerful gifts.

Due to the pain John experienced while burning at the stake and the anger he felt towards the villagers, his power took on a sharper form after his conversion into a vampire; he gained the supernatural talent of inflicting the same burning pain on others in the form of illusion. John’s power was so frightening that he came to enjoy inflicting it on others and receiving respect for his power. Over the centuries, he has absorbed some of Caius’s sadistic personality in the process.
