Carlisle's life

The Olympic Coven in Forks, Washington is where Carlisle Cullen the around 370 year old vampire lives with Esme, Edward, Bella, Renesmee, Rosalie, Emmet, Alice, and Jasper.

Carlisle was born in London, England in 1643 and was the son of an Anglican pastor. His father and other pastors lead hunts for wearwolves, witches, and vampires claiming to try to rid the world of sin. Unfortunatly, these groups killed inacent people many times. When Carlisle's father grew to old, he was put in charge of the raids. Carlisle was smart enough to find a real coven of vampires hiding in London sewers. When his group attacked, Carlisle was bitten and left bleeding in the streets, and knowing what his father would do, Calrlisle hid in a potatoe cellar for three days. After this Carlisle realized what he had become...a vampire. Carlisle was horrified and tried to kill himself in many ways including starvation, drowing, and jumping off cliffs. Eventouly he was so desperate for blood, while he was hiding in a cave he attacked and fed on a herd of deer. He found that this was more humane than killing humans.

Carlisle found a new life in Italy where he studied at night where he became a "night time patron of the arts" and because of this he was able to becoem a brilliant doctor. While he was studying in Italy he came across the Vultiri that included three vampires named Aro, Marcus, and Caius. These were very educated vampires but still drank human blood. Carlisle tried to persuae them to drink animal blood while the Vultiri tried to convert Carlisle to drink human's but both were unsuccesful. Then Carlisle moved on to the new world and began working night shifts for a Chicago Hospital during the Spanish Influenza. During this he met a dying seventeen year old named Edward Mason and changed him and later on changed Esme who had tried to commit suicide after her son's death, then changed Rosalie after being beaten by her fiance and his friends and finaly changed Emmet after a bear mauling.
