FAMILY/COVEN RELATIONSHIPS: Guard members show the Volturi the loyalty they would family.

PERSONAL HISTORY:

Demetri was originally discovered by the Egyptian coven‘s leader, Amun. Amun worked with Demetri to develop his tracking ability, and the two were very close. At the time, the Volturi had a tracker. However, when Aro heard that Amun had a more talented tracker than his own, he hurried to Egypt and offered Demetri a place with the Volturi. Demetri had no interest in leaving Amun, but Aro had Chelsea dissolve the bonds between the members of that coven, and then tie Demetri to the Volturi. Demetri joined them immediately.

Demetri is a permanent member of the guard and a part of all of the Volturi‘s important missions. Though tracking gifts are more common than any other kind of psychic gift, Demetri is by far the best-known tracker in the vampire world. With the rare exception of strong mental shields, Demetri‘s gift is unstoppable and allows the Volturi to find anyone, anywhere. Demetri can link to a target once he has physically met that person, or he can pick up a person‘s trail from anyone who has met them in the past.

HEIDI

NAME: Heidi

DATE OF BIRTH: Before 1550

DATE OF TRANSFORMATION: Before 1550

SOURCE OF TRANSFORMATION: Hilda

PLACE OF ORIGIN: Germany

HAIR COLOR: Mahogany

EYE COLOR: Red/black (vampire), although she often wears blue contacts that make her red eyes appear violet.

HEIGHT: 5‘10‖

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Heidi is tall and strikingly beautiful.

SPECIAL ABILITIES: She is overwhelmingly physically appealing to men and women, humans and vampires. Resisting her allure is possible but also very difficult, especially if she is trying hard to attract.

EDUCATION/OCCUPATION: She is a member of the Volturi guard.

FAMILY/COVEN RELATIONSHIPS: Guard members show the Volturi the loyalty they would family.

PERSONAL HISTORY:

Heidi was originally changed by a vampire named Hilda, and belonged to her coven for several years. Hilda was later accused of attracting too much notice with her large coven. All but two of the vampires were destroyed: Heidi was considered penitent and so was spared, and the other — Victoria — was able to escape. Thanks to Chelsea, Heidi is totally loyal to the Volturi.

Her primary duty is orchestrating elaborate ploys to bring human victims to Volterra.

Heidi became a key member in the day-to-day existence of the Volturi. Her primary duty is orchestrating elaborate ploys to bring human victims to Volterra for the sustenance of the coven. She is required to bring them from far away, without leaving a trail. Heidi might arrange for a contest where the prize is an all-expenses-paid vacation to Turkey (or another random location), or a job interview for a position with an amazing salary. The victims never hear the word Volterra, and usually are unaware that they are even being taken to Italy. She has more than one jet and other vehicles and props to use in her efforts to attract humans to the Volturi‘s private city. Once an intended victim meets Heidi, it is difficult for him or her to refuse any invitation she extends.

JANE

NAME: Jane

DATE OF BIRTH: Prior to 800 A.D.

DATE OF TRANSFORMATION: Exact date unknown; around the age of 12 or 13

SOURCE OF TRANSFORMATION: Aro

PLACE OF ORIGIN: England

HAIR COLOR: Pale brown

EYE COLOR: Red/black (vampire)

HEIGHT: 4‘8‖

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: If not for her girlish face and full lips, Jane could be mistaken for a preteen boy. She is quite short, and her childlike voice is high and thin. She usually speaks with an air of apathy or boredom. Despite all this, she has a commanding presence.

SPECIAL ABILITIES: She can cause people to experience excruciating pain that instantly incapacitates them. She can inflict this pain on only one target at a time; she must be able to see her victim to use her gift on him or her.

EDUCATION/OCCUPATION: She is a member of the Volturi guard.

FAMILY/COVEN RELATIONSHIPS: Her twin brother, Alec, is also a member of the Volturi guard. Guard members show the Volturi the loyalty they would family.

PERSONAL HISTORY:

Jane was chosen by Aro while she was still a human child. Aro‘s plan to let Jane and her brother mature with their human family backfired when superstitious locals condemned them as witches and sentenced them to death by fire. Aro arrived barely in time to save Jane and Alec from their accusers. While Alec focused his psychic powers on escaping his own pain, Jane was consumed with the desire to inflict her pain on those who were hurting her. This desire shaped her vampire talent into a very effective weapon.

While Alec — with his ability to use his gift on a great number of targets concurrently — is more advantageous in open battle, Jane‘s talent is more often used. As evidenced during Edward, Alice, and Bella‘s visit to Volterra, Jane‘s talent is frequently utilized to control potentially aggressive vampires. Just having her on hand usually guarantees Aro a polite and compliant audience.
