Stregoni Benefici: Carlisle Cullen Quiz

Answer: Seventeenth-century London

In "Twilight", Carlisle notes that dates were not tracked accurately around the time of his birth, but he was born in the 1640s.

Answer: Hunting witches, werewolves, and vampires

Carlisle's father, an Anglican pastor, zealously persecuted those who did not adhere to his faith. In addition, he sought to rid the world of evil by leading hunts for supernatural creatures. When he grew too old for this, Carlisle received the duty of leading these raids.

Answer: 23

Although Carlisle lacked his father's passion for persecution, he managed to stumble across a coven of vampires, one of whom attacked and transformed Carlisle into an immortal.

Answer: He was disgusted by what he had become and tried to kill himself

Both repulsed by what he had become and terrified of his father's reaction, Carlisle tried to kill himself numerous times. When his thirst became too great, he eventually fed on a herd of deer and discovered that he could exist without harming humans.

Answer: Medical doctor

Carlisle has become so accustomed to the scent of human blood that he can now easily resist its temptation. His enhanced abilities allow him to save patients who would otherwise not survive.

Answer: Edward

While working in Chicago during the 1918 influenza epidemic, Carlisle treated Edward and his parents. On her deathbed, Edward's mother begged Carlisle to save her dying son. Carlisle, acting out of loneliness, snuck Edward out of the hospital and changed him into a vampire.

Answer: Esme

Carlisle initially met Esme when he treated her for a broken leg in 1911. In 1921, he tended her again, this time for injuries sustained during her failed suicide attempt. He transformed her and the two quickly fell in love.

Answer: Rosalie

Although Carlisle wanted Edward to find love with Rosalie, they never felt love for each other beyond that of siblings. Rosalie found her ideal partner, two years after her transformation, in Emmett.

Answer: The Quileute Tribe

The Cullens initially moved to Forks in 1936, where they stumbled upon the Quileutes, who have the ability to transform into werewolves. Carlisle helped arrange a treaty stating that the wolves would leave the vampires in peace provided the Cullens did not bite any humans and stayed off the reservation.

Answer: Mercedes S55 AMG

Carlisle's black Mercedes plays an important role in the story on several occasions. Edward borrows the Mercedes in "Twilight" to escape to Denali when Bella's blood proves too strong a temptation for him. Later Alice and Jasper use the car to drive Bella to Phoenix in an attempt to elude James.

In "New Moon", the black Mercedes parked in front of Bella's house lets her know that a member of the Cullen family has returned to Forks.
