Jasper Hale

Born Jasper Whitlock in Houston, Texas, he left his parents and his younger sister to join the Confederate Army before he turned 17, using his way of persuasion. In the following 2 years, he was promoted to major in the army and became the youngest major in Texas. After becoming a major in the confederate army, Jasper was set upon by the vampire Maria, who proceeded to turn him. After the transformation, Jasper aided Maria in her creation of a newborn vampire army, which successfully conquered the feeding grounds of Texas. However, over the next decades, Jasper became tired of this violent and bloodstained life, because he could feel the emotions of those he killed, which eventually became too much for him. In the 1940s, he left his bloodthirsty coven to become a nomad. In 1948 joined the peaceful Cullen family—a coven of vegetarian vampires. By living as a vegetarian, he was freed from the emotions that so depressed him..
