No, Carlisle actually never joined the Volturi, although he did stay with them for about twenty years. After Carlisle was created...he sought out others who were more like him. He discovered the Volturi in Italy and was impressed at how refined they were. However, Carlisle NEVER fit in with the Volturi since he was a vegetarian and they were NOT! Carlisle spent a couple of decades trying to convince them to become vegetarians, while they tried to persuade him to place humans on his menu. It was a stalemate, so Carlisle left with the Volturi's blessings and traveled to America. The Volturi had heard nothing from or about Carlisle until NEW MOON, when Edward sought them out. With one touch from Edward, Aro knew ALL of the Olympic Coven's secrets.
