Alec Volturi

Alec is more lively, less sadistic, and calmer than his twin sister, Jane (whom he has a close relationship with). Alec has proven to be just as ruthless and self-interested as she is. He shows no remorse for taking anyone's life and carrying out the Volturi's frequently violent missions. There's a quiet confidence about him that, given his readiness to kill, is usually terrifying.

Alec is often confused for being the nice twin but is actually the more calculating type, the one who will attack without warning.

Alec is dedicated to training and his job, he'll come down harshly on those who don't take it seriously.

While burning alive at the stake, Jane focused on the pain and anger the humans caused her giving her the ability of creating an illusion of burning pain in any person she focuses on. Alec focused on escaping the pain and his ability manifested into cutting off the senses of any human or vampire.

He can selectively or completely block the senses of several people at the same time, which makes him more dangerous than Jane is, as it allows the Volturi to easily execute their opponents. When he uses this ability, it manifests into the form of a shimmering hazy mist that slowly moves toward his target, and it can't be affected by the physical plane. However, while Jane's power works almost immediately, Alec's power requires time to take effect.

It's due to these gifts that they are highly respected and feared throughout the Volturi and the rest of the world of vampires.

Appearance: Alec is very similar looking to his twin sister, Jane. His hair's a darker brown than hers and cut in a short, shaggy style. He has deep red almond eyes and full lips, though not as full as Jane's. The only distinguising mark on his body is a small paint splatter like birthmark on his lower back. Alec has a slim but sturdy build. Both he and his sister are described as being angelically beautiful. As permanent guards, he and his sister wear dark grey, almost black, cloaks.

The Volturi act as the unofficial royalty in the world of vampires, and are an incredibly influential coven. The Volturi consists of 5 core members: Aro, Caius, Marcus, Sulpicia, and Athenodora.

They are also considered 'nighttime patrons of the arts' as, because of their inability to sleep, they study the arts at night. The Volturi act as guardians, keeping the secret society of vampires hidden from the human world as needed. They often send their guards (a collection of powerfully imposing vampires, known as the "Volturi guard", with the most powerful of them being Chelsea, Jane and Alec) to travel from Volterra to prevent overzealous covens from exposing vampires through mass eradication of every vampire (and any humans) present. The coven has existed for over 3000 years, and is the largest coven in existence.
