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.
In 1920, after having been institutionalized by her family, an unknown vampire turned her to save her from the relentless tracker, James. Later, she was led to the love of her life, Jasper, after receiving a vision of him, and the pair subsequently joined the peaceful coven of the Cullen family.
Before becoming a vampire in her late teens, Alice was simply a small-town girl who had a gift for predicting the future. In early childhood, this seemingly harmless gift manifested in minor, possibly coincidental predictions, such as knowing the weather would be bad well before it turned.
Carlisle Cullen, the patriarch of the family, uses his medical knowledge to save lives and only turns humans into vampires when they would die otherwise. This was the case with all four of the Twilight vampires he turned: Edward, Esme, Rosalie, and Emmett.
When he became too old to continue them, he put his son in charge of the hunts. Although originally Carlisle was a disappointment, he eventually discovered a coven of true vampires living in the sewers. During a chase with them, Carlisle was bitten and changed into a vampire.
Rosalie is the adoptive sister-in-law of Bella Swan and adoptive aunt of Renesmee Cullen, as well as the ex-fiancée of Royce King II. In 1933, Rosalie was turned into a vampire by Carlisle Cullen after being gang raped and mutilated to the brink of death by her fiancé and his friends.
Edward Cullen is Carlisle's first adoptive son, and the first vampire that Carlisle turned. He was created by Carlisle in 1918, where he was dying of Spanish influenza.
In order to save her life, Carlisle decided to change her into a vampire. When Esme first awakened from her transformation, Carlisle explained what happened and that he turned her into a vampire in order to save her life. Much to his surprise, Esme was not upset with his act, and she easily accepted her new life.
Jasper was turned into a vampire in 1863 by a vampire named Maria when he was 19 years old. After transformation, he gained the ability to sense and manipulate the emotions of those around him. Recognizing his high rank in the army, Maria decided to change him into a vampire to help her claim territory in Monterrey.
Emmett's gift is extreme strength that surpasses a regular vampire. He is the strongest member of the Cullens, if not the entire world. But his strength can be easily conquered by a newborn vampire, such as Bella when she challenged him to arm wrestling.
On their honeymoon, she becomes pregnant, and, due to the peculiar nature of her baby, Bella nearly dies giving birth to their daughter, Renesmee. Edward turns Bella into a vampire to save her.
As Carlisle tends to the cut on Bella's arm after Jasper's outburst, he drops the used gauze into a bowl. When he is finished treating her, he sets the bloody gauze on fire, likely to remove the scent of blood for the other vampires in the house.
The reason why Jacob's father uses a wheelchair in Twilight is much more human than most of the franchise's supernatural content: Billy uses a wheelchair in the Twilight series because he has nerve damage due to complications from diabetes.
Jasper is the youngest vampire in the Cullen pack so he has the hardest time resisting human blood.
He was engaged to Rosalie Hale for a short period of time, but gang-raped and beat her almost to death with a group of his friends.
Although Edward and Bella tell him that Renesmee is an orphan that they've adopted, he discovers their biological relation when he looks into her eyes (which he recognizes as his own), but decides to stick to the adoption as their public story for their safety.
She has no special power, but has a strong ability to love passionately. Esme is described as having caramel-colored hair; she also has a heart-shaped face with dimples, and her figure is slender, but rounded and soft.
Alice becomes confused about her identity as her size changes, mirroring the confusion that occurs during the transition from childhood to adulthood. The reality that she is too large to fit into the garden produces confusion over who she is, which Alice responds to with bouts of crying and self-reproach.
In Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Alice discovers that she has been genetically altered by exposure to the T-virus. Alice is explained to have adapted to the changes from the T-Virus, merging human characteristics and enhanced strength, speed, and agility as well as a limited degree of superhuman healing.
Amun is also considered the oldest vampire in the Twilight universe, as he was turned before the Romanian coven – the oldest coven there is – rose to power.
It is eventually revealed that she was born around 1901 in Biloxi, Mississippi, and was committed to an asylum because she had premonitions. Alice was transformed by an old vampire who worked at the asylum to protect her from James, a tracker vampire who was hunting her.
This claim flies in the face of what fans encounter in the Twilight movies and novels, though, as Carlisle's ability to survive by drinking only animal blood marked him out as the first known vampire with the willpower to avoid feeding on humans.
Given that he (in the books, at least) was physically similar to Rosalie, it was decided that they could pass as twins, and so Jasper changed his surname to Hale instead of Cullen, which helped the coven pass as a family of adopted children.
Aro is the main antagonist of the Twilight series. He appears as the main antagonist of New Moon and Breaking Dawn and a background character in Eclipse. He is one of three vampires who lead the Volturi the leader coven of the vampire world and is widely accepted as the overall leader of the Volturi.
