Carlisle Cullen, is known to be Esme's husband, Edward, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie's foster parents in Twilight, New Moon and Breaking Dawn.
Carlisle theorizes that when a human is turned into a vampire, they will have an enhanced ability from their previous life. He believes he brought compassion from his human life. Carlisle has had centuries to perfect his medicinal talents, therefore making him an excellent doctor. Unlike most vampires, he is not at all tempted by the scent of human blood, due to the over 300 years he has spent holding back his temptations. Carlisle Cullen was the son of an Anglicanpastor, born in 1640s London, England, during a time of religious upheaval. His father and other pastors hunted creatures such as witches,werewolves, and vampires, often mistaking humans for them. As his father grew older, Carlisle assumed his role. One night, he was attacked by a vampire and left to die on the streets. Knowing he would be rejected by society, he hid himself and silently endured the painful transformation, emerging as a vampire. Horrified by what he had become, he tried killing himself many different ways, but all failed due to his power. One night, unable to endure hunger any longer, he fed on some passing deer. Subsequently realizing he could avoid feeding on humans, he committed himself to resisting his blood lust and to becoming a doctor.
Carlisle also lived for a short time with the Volturi, a strong and powerful group or covenant of Vampires.
