Meet the Volturi: New Promotional Pics of New Moon's Bad Vamps



ALEC

played by: Cameron Bright

more on his character: ""The Volturi were waiting to change Alec and his twin sister Jane until they were older, but humans tried to burn them at the stake, so the Volturi were forced to 'change' them while they were young. Since acquiring Alec and Jane, the Volturi have seldom needed to fight — their victims are simply slaughtered."" [mtv.com]









JANE

played be: Dakota Fanning

more on her character: "Jane is a high ranking member of the Volturi Guard. The Volturi were waiting to change her and her brother Alec until she was older, but humans—believing her and her brother to be witches—tried to burn them at the stake, which forced Aro to act while the twins were little more than children. Jane’s experience with the pain of burning alive shaped her into a potent weapon – she developed the ability to inflict immense pain on others with only a look. " [trailerpark]

CAIUS

played by: Jamie Campbell Bower

more on his character: "Caius was born around 1300 BC, though the date of his transformation and his special powers are unknown. But we do know that he really, really wants to kill Bella, Edward, and Alice. And we're not going to lie, he looks pretty good for a 3,300-year-old." [moviefone]










MARCUS

played by: Christopher Heyerdahl

more on his character: "Marcus is the most detached of the Volturi leaders. The loss of his mate has essentially turned him into a zombie over the centuries. He is surprised by the intensity of Bella and Edward’s relationship." [examiner]
