he is the head of the 'Cullen Clan', since he's the one who turned most of the Cullens into vampires.
he is a vampire on the side of good.
everyone in his family has learned to hunt forest animals to feed on instead of humans.
they consider themselves 'vegitarians' on that diet.
here are the cullens 'special vampire abilitys.'
Alice: she can see glimpses of the future, but her visions are subjective. (the future can always change)
(turned)Bella: she has the power to block others from her mind, and actions. she can use her powers as a mental sheild, sheilding other people's minds as well.
Carlisle: he has the power to control himself around human blood, explaining why he's a hospital doctor. its hard for other vampires (especially newborn vampires aka newly turned vampires) to control themselves around human blood, and is usually a hassle.
Edward: he can read other peoples', vampires', and some animals' minds.
Emmett: he has the power of extreme strength. he also has the power of war, meaning he can create a war if he chooses.
Esme: she has the power of exeptance, and love of all things.
Jasper: he can control anythings feelings, and can feel exactly what others feel. so the expression 'i know how you feel.' is actually very true for him.
(human-vamp baby)Renesmee: she has the power to show you exactly how she feels and can let you read her thoughts opon touching you.
Rosalie: she has the power of divine beauty.
