Eleazar and Carmen



Eleazar and Carmen are mates and members of the Denali Coven, a family of "vegetarian" vampires.

History
Eleazar and Carmen met while Eleazar was affiliated with the Volturi. Because Carmen possessed no useful skill whatsoever, she was not invited into the coven, nor was she interested in joining. Eventually, Eleazar grew tired of the Volturi's lifestyle and left with Carmen to find a new life. Sometime later, they relocated to Denali and met the Denali sisters: Tanya, Kate, and Irina; who learned to control their thirst by adjusting their diet to animal blood. Tanya invited Carmen and Eleazar to join them and become "vegetarians" and they gladly accepted her offer. Eleazar and Carmen warmed up to Tanya and her sisters so much that they later joined the Denali Coven permanently.

Edward has mentioned that both Carmen and Eleazar are very compassionate for vampires and that if they had not found the Denali sisters, they would have eventually found another compassionate way of life.

Breaking Dawn
Carmen and Eleazar first appear in Breaking Dawn while attending Bella and Edward's wedding with Tanya and Kate. Both are very happy to meet Bella.

Months after the wedding, Carlisle asks them to travel to Forks. There, they meet Renesmee Cullen, the biological child of Edward and Bella. However, Eleazar, Tanya and Kate believe her to be an immortal child and refuse to listen to their story, until Carmen willingly listens and allows Renesmee to tell the story herself. After she is persuaded that the child is a hybrid, she convinces Eleazar first to let her explain the story herself, and then Kate and Tanya. After the misunderstanding was cleared up, they agree to help the Cullens testify against the threat of the Volturi, who are on their way to kill the family for a false report by Irina.

Eleazar and Carmen stand with the Cullens during the trial, and when it ends peacefully (with only the death of Irina), they return to Denali with a new member, Garrett, who has joined them as Kate's new mate.
