Though he has never wanted anything more than Alice Cullen's power, after Bella became a vampire, he twice invited her to join the Volturi guard, which she refused both times. He exerts control over the world of vampires, and plots against any opposing coven.
At first, Aro is surprised because Bella was immune from his power and then he decides to let her go when Alice shows him in a vision that Bella will eventually become a vampire. So he's intrigued and fascinated by her potential and wants her to join the Volturi in the future.
Edward realizes that all along, Aro's issues with the Cullens revolves around Alice: Aro desperately wants to add her power of foresight to the Volturi.
Aro is very intrigued with Renesmee's existence, but is determined to achieve his secret ambitions—to add Alice, Edward, Bella and some of the other gifted vampires into his collection. He and Caius come up with multiple schemes to provoke a battle between the Volturi and the Cullens.
Aro had a certain type of woman in mind and he found what he was looking for in Sulpicia. He successfully courted her and she came to fall in love with him. She had few ties to her human community and she agreed to become a vampire and become his wife.
That's Italian! ''In the Volturi chamber, Aro speaks Italian — 'La Tua Cantante' should be easy for readers of the books — he's referring to Bella's being Edward's 'singer,' whose blood calls out to him stronger than anyone else's.
Early Life. Aro was born in Greece in the 1340 B.C. He was transformed into a vampire by Eames at the age of 40.
Bella's gift is her very powerful shield – one that has been growing and working without her knowing since she was born. Because of her shield, she is protected from powers of the mind – that means that Edward (and Aro) can't read her thoughts, Kate can't shock her, and Jane can't cause her pain.
Aro is interested in Edward's ability to read minds from a distance, and tries to persuade him to join the Volturi instead, saying it would be a waste to destroy such a special gift. He later meets Bella, after she and Edward's sister Alice prevent Edward's suicide attempt.
Alice could see the future. Imagine the tactical advantage of having a vampire in your ranks that can see your enemies moves before they make them! For this reason, Aro wanted Alice more than he had ever wanted anyone.
Bella's mind shield is able to block any vampire power that affects her brain. That's why Edward and Aro couldn't read her mind, Jane couldn't make her feel pain (it was only creating the illusion of pain), and Zafrina couldn't make her see visual projections she was able to make everyone else see.
Aro. Even though Meyer gave some hefty advantages to her protagonist, there are still people who are far stronger than Bella. Aro, the leader of the Volturi, easily takes the number two spot.
When faced with the Volturi during Breaking Dawn, little Renesmee shows little fear in the face of danger. She even gathers the courage to touch Aro's face and show him her true origin. Meanwhile, it is evident that even her parents are uncomfortable with the situation.
Throughout the months of uncomfortable silence, Rosalie reveals dislike toward Bella, detested by the idea that Edward found Bella attractive over her. However, a firmer reason is the fact that Bella is human, which reminds Rosalie of what she could never have.
Why Bella's Blood Is So Special In Twilight. In the Twilight books, it's explained that every vampire has a “cantante” or “singer,” a term used by the Volturi to describe humans whose blood is especially appealing to a certain vampire, almost in an extreme way, as if it was “singing” for the vampire.
Aro pretended to give them both his blessing but intended to stop them so he murdered Didyme to keep Marcus in the coven as his gift was much more useful than his sisters' for Aro's cause. Aro then had Chelsea tie Marcus to him so he couldn't abandon the Volturi.
Aro desperately wants Edward, Alice, and Bella to join the Volturi, but in the end, he is genuinely saddened to lose Carlisle's friendship and hopes to regain it, and he's relieved that is all he lost; Aro is fully aware that the outcome could have been a great deal worse. Aro witnesses his own death in Alice's vision.
In Eclipse, Alice explains that since her visions are no illusion of the mind, but rooted into reality, she can see Bella's future.
Bella gets pregnant after one night of passionate sex with her husband Edward the vampire, sex that leads to the destruction of their idyllic honeymoon suite.
The newest member: Renesmee. Three months later, the Denali coven's member, Irina, saw Renesmee whilst on her way to Forks and mistook her for an immortal child: a forbidden creation wherein a child has been transformed into a vampire, and reported her to the Volturi.
Carlisle's gift is an elevated sense of compassion that allows him to resist human blood. He is able to bite (in order to turn them) people without succumbing to the frenzy and killing them.

Alice was transformed by an old vampire who worked at the asylum to protect her from James, a tracker vampire who was hunting her. After some research, Alice found her grave and discovered that the date on her tombstone matches the date of her admission to the asylum.
He explains that Carlisle, who is currently 362 years old, lived in London and was the son of a pastor who hunted witches, werewolves, and vampires. When Carlisle was twenty-three, he was chasing a vampire who turned on him and attacked. Carlisle dragged himself off and died, becoming a vampire himself.
