The oldest of the Cullen family, and fastest of the Vampire Clan. Edward Anthony Masen was born in 1910 and became a vampire in the Summer of 1918 when he was dying of Spanish Influenza at seventeen years-old. Edward, along with Esme Cullen, was changed by Dr. Carlisle Cullen, after a dying Elizabeth Mason begged Carlisle to do everything in his power to save her son. Elizabeth didn't know the fate that she was condemning her son to.
The "seventeen year-old" moved, with his "adopted" family to Forks, Washington. The rain and clouds were helpful to the family of vampires, because sun revealed what they really looked like; but whenever the clouds parted, the Cullens "disappeared".
There, at Forks Highschool, Edward meets Isabella Swan, seventeen year-old daughter of Police Chief Charlie Swan. After almost 90 years of strict abstinence from human blood, he realizes how strong Bella's scent is and how much it tempts him.
Edward tries at first, to explain to her why he's so dangerous and why she should stay away from him; but when he learns how warm and loving Bella is, he can't help to stay away from her, risking her life and his.
Edward Cullen is described by Meyer, as impossibly gorgeous. With an angular face, a prominent jawline, a straight nose, beautiful lips and a disarray of bronze hair. His eyes change color and he has a dazzling crooked smile. Edward stands six feet, two inches, with a muscular, slender body, and appears to be an average seventeen year-old boy, but is far from it.
Within the span of the next four books, Bella falls head over heels for a dangerous but irresistible vampire and Edward fights the urge to kill her tempted by everything she is.
"...so the lion fell in love with the lamb...what a stupid lamb...what a sick masochistic lion!"
