Character: Jasper Hale

Played by Jackson Rathbone (The O.C.)

Jasper Hale is the newest addition to the Cullen family, having lived for years among more “traditional” vampires. Leaving behind his clan of morally-ambiguous blood drinkers, Jasper found his way to Alice, his soul mate, who had foreseen him in one of her visions. The pair then sought and joined Carlisle Cullen and his family to live as peaceful vampires.

As the most recent Cullen to “go vegetarian,” Jasper still struggles with his vampiric desires to drink human blood, but is committed to the family’s choice to feed only on animals in order to protect human lives.
