Sam Uley

"The Cullens don't come here."
 * -Sam on The Cullens

Sam Uley is a La Push Shape-Shifter or werewolf. He is the Alpha of one of the first pack and is engaged to Emily Young.

History
Sam was the first of the boys from the reservation to phase and become a werewolf. The first time he met Bella he explained how the Cullens were not welcome at First Beach or anywhere near the La Push area.

As the other boys on the Rez became werewolves one by one, Sam took on the role of Alpha and led them through their change and helped them become accustomed to their new life. To outsiders, it seemed as if he had started a little cult. When Jacob becomes a werewolf, it was Sam who told him he couldn’t share the information with Bella. Once Bella did figure out the truth, Sam accepted her help with the search for Victoria.

Leah Clearwater
Sam and Leah were dating throughout their high school years and were very close despite the fact that Sam turned into a werewolf and could not tell Leah. Their relationship ended when Leah brought her cousin Emily Young down for a visit and Sam imprinted on her. It is revealed in Breaking Dawn that Sam still cares for Leah and begs her to come back to his pack after she runs away to Jacob's renegade pack with her brother, even asking his messenger, Jared, to 'go on his knees' and call her Lee-Lee, his old nickname for her.

Emily Young
After becoming a shape-shifter, Sam imprinted on Emily, and at some point before New Moon became engaged. One night, Sam lost control of his anger and accidentally hurt Emily, leaving her horribly scarred on her face and hand. Despite that, Sam loves her unconditionally, but has never forgiven himself for being so careless.

Physical description
As a wolf, Sam is described as having black fur. He is huge, but as quiet as a shadow, as tall as a horse but more muscular, dagger-like incisors. He has a grisly snarl and is very swift.

As a human, Sam is described as having long, rounded muscles, a deep voice with an older face, copper skin, very tall, cropped, black hair, and brown eyes.
