Stefan

"Say what you want, I still think Dracula One and Dracula Two are creep-tacular."

- Jacob Black on Stefan and Vladimir

Stefan is a vampire of the Romanian Coven. He seeks revenge on the Volturi, and despises them greatly and entirely.

History
"Of all the rotten luck."

He and his fellow Romanian vampire Vladimir once ruled the vampire world thousands of years ago. They even told the humans in their city that they were vampires, instead of lying and saying they were saints (referring to St. Marcus Day in Volterra) Their castles, however, were burned and their coven destroyed by the Volturi. He and Vladimir have often been rumored to be in a romantic relationship with eachother, due to the fact that they live alone together and how they never leave eachother's side.

Breaking Dawn
Stefan and Vladimir show up uninvited to the Cullen household in Breaking Dawn hoping that the contoversy caused by Renesmee will finally destroy the Volturi. However, their hopes don't falter throughout the book. In the big climax with the Volturi, the "royal vampire family" is entirely astonished to see their bitter enemies on Carlisle's side, and immediately want to take action. Aro, however, with his eternal enthusiasm, seeks the truth from Carlisle, and Stefan's and Vladimir's hope of having a battle with the Volturi is vanquished. They were happy, however, to see the Volturi run away like cowards after the confrontation.

During the month that the Romanian coven "witnesses" Renesmee, Bella has a certain aversion to having Renesmee being around the Romanians, for fear that they, too, are just like the Volturi, with their pasty-white skin and red eyes. However, Bella notices that Stefan's and Vladimir's eyes are not filmed over as the Volturi's, but she does not inquire about this fearing that it would be rude. It is Renesmee who eventually asks, and the vampires reply that once their castle was burned they had to move, as opposed to the Volturi elders who sit still decade after decade.

Renesmee is said to have enjoyed the Romanians' company. Bella limits her time with them after they describe how they would like to rip out the eyes of the Volturi.They only seek revenge towards the Volturi,and will do anything to harm them.
