Vampire Shapeshifters | So ... What Are You?

Here's a new vampire character poster featuring Peter (Erik Odom). I think he's a nomad, seeing as how the coven posters are already released. There's also an interview with Erik. Peter, the vampire who was spared by his best friend Jasper Hale during the vicious Southern Wars, wanders the continent with his mate Charlotte and descends upon Forks, Washington in the Cullen family’s time of need. In Breaking Dawn - Part 2 Bella notes, “The nomads Rosalie and Emmett sent were even more unpredictable -- especially Peter, who had fought alongside Jasper as a newborn.”  You’ll see him next in Rogue Machine Theater's A Bright New Boise, which kicks off next weekend in Los Angeles! Q: When you walked into Comic-Con [at the end of the Breaking Dawn – Part 2 cast panel], you got some of the biggest shouts out of all the newcomers. How did that feel? Erik: It was unbelievable. The only thing I could say it compared to was the Part 1 premiere when I walked down ...

The Irish Coven Leader: Siobhan Members: Siobhan, Liam & Maggie  Special Powers: Maggie is able to tell if a person is lying. Relationship to the Cullens: All the members of the Irish coven are old friends of Carlisle. They come to Forks to help their old friend stand against the Volturi threat. Relationship to the Volturi: The Irish have no previous relationship with the Volturi. During her first century as a vampire, Siobhan met a few Volturi guards and considered approaching the Volturi for official consideration, but ultimately she never did.

The Egyptian Coven Leader : Amun Members: Amun, Kebi, Benjamin & Tia Special Powers : Benjamin can manipulate the elements – water, earth, air & fire. Relationship to the Cullens : Carlisle is aware of Amun & Benjamin and goes to Amun to invite them to join in standing against the Volturi threat. Relationship to the Volturi : As the Volturi were taking over Egypt, as a means of survival Amun and Kebi submitted to the Volturi leaving Amun bitter at being forced to comply with the Volturi’s demands. Amun has since tried to gather his own talented force but Aro has enjoyed toying with Amun by luring gifted individuals away from Amun’s coven and into the Volturi guard.

The Denali Coven Leader: Tanya Members: Tanya, Kate, Irina, Carmen & Eleazar Special Powers: Eleazar can sense the type and strength of gifted vampires’ talents. Kate can cause a painful, electric shock-like jolt in anyone she touches. Relationship to the Cullens: When they met the Cullens, the Denali were already “vegetarian” vampires and bonded with them over this shared lifestyle choice. They have been close friends since and consider each other as extended family. Relationship to the Volturi: Tanya, Kate, and Irina’s “mother” was executed by the Volturi for creating an Immortal Child. Eleazar was originally a member of the Volturi Guard but left to travel with Carmen, eventually joining up with the Denali sisters.
