Portrayed by: Taylor Kitsch
Character Basics
Name:
Age: Was Born in the year 1000bc
Appearance
Looks: Aro is not like most of the vampires his age is the definitive reason he does not look like most of his kind. Aro Posses very pale skin that is almost translucent. His hair is very long, and jet black—like the darkest part of the night. His eyes also have a tendency to unsettle most vampires, they are milky red, and indication that he’s one of the oldest of his kind.
Scars, tattoos, other marks: Has none to speak of.
Personality and Stats
Basic Personality: Aro’s personality is what sets him apart from his kind. He’s been some what perceived as a bit erratic in his personality. He can go from being excited in one breath to annoyed in another. He finds other vampires gifts fascinating and is not afraid to show his fascination when finding a gift worth his attention. He’s sometimes perceived as the very odd uncle you can’t help but like.
Species: Vampire
Abilities: As one of the leaders of the volturi is naturally talented—you cant of course be in charge of the vampires as a specials and not posses a formidable talent. Aro of course has all the normal abilities vampire's posses; strength speed and vastly enhances senses. But what truly makes this vampire a formidable foe is his ability he posses. Aro has a supernatural ability to read minds; his gift is far more powerful then Edward cullens—as he can hear every thought the person has had. The only down fall to his gift is that he must be touching that person in order to hear them.
Occupation: Head of the volturi
Car: What ever he feels like driving in that day
History:
Birthplace: some where in Italy
Family: None
Friends: He considers Carlisle to be a good friend, as well as Marcus and Caius—but friends are disposable to him.
History:
“I never dreamed of the existence of such a thing in all my centuries. What an addition to our histories!”
The year was 1000Bc, when Aro was brought into his this world. Italy was vastly different; the people in Italy were highly civilized and educated. Agriculture was practiced on a large and wide scale. The country was thriving economically, But there was unrest, tribes from the alps were regularly invading Italy. The groups were referred to as the Villanovans, Atestines, and Comacines. They occupied the northern area of Italy from Rimini on the East coast (just north of Florence)to just North of Rome on the West coast. The aboriginal groups were known as the Picenes, Apulians, and Siculans who occupied the area in the South. The Villanovans, who peaked in their existence between showed many signs of being highly civilized. These include their houses, jewelry, weapons, and art.
He doesn’t remember much of his family—but proudly boast that unlike most vampires he retained quite a lot of his memories from his human life. A Decade after Aro was turned he personally changed his sister Didyme in the hopes that she would posses a gift equally as powerful as his. To his dismay his sister was blessed with an ability that wasn’t as useful to him as his was; the power to make people happy. At first Aro was happy for his sister when she fell in love with Marcus—and him with her. But when Marcus and Didyme eventually became discontent being involved with Aro's rising organization, the volturi, and threatened to leave. Aro had to do what was in the best interest of his people and he killed Didyme.
"Say what you want, I still think Dracula One and Dracula Two are creep-tacular."
During the Fifth century Italy was the last strong hold of the Western Roman Empire the capital was at Ravenna but Rome was the home of the Senate which was still influential In 476 the last western human emperor was deposed by Odoacer, a Germanic general who declared himself king, Encouraged by the eastern Byzantine emperor, Zeno. Little did the human world know the same things were transpiring in the underworld of the vampire realm By 500 AD, Aro would spark mass change with in the vampire world, he and the two other ancients; Marcus and Caius had formed a group called the Volturi. The Volturi were tired of the Romanian coven’s regime they felt it was time for a change. The three would burn, and destroy most if not all of the Romanian coven leaving Vladimir and Stefan alive. . The Volturi under the three ancients leadership, set down the laws of the vampire world and punished those who did not adhere to them severely, often Aro would have to send others to travel from Volterra to prevent overzealous covens and renegade vampires from exposing their species.
“Ah, how I miss my friend Carlisle!”
The volturi soon moved the capital of the of coven from Ravenna to Volterra, where Aro watched from below as Italy, the human world as whole, and his species evolve. Time passed in a world wind of art, wars, love, death, diseases, and history. As much as Aro was fascinated with almost everything around him he found life to be sometimes boring and dull; that is of course until a young vampire with a fascinating and interesting out look on life visited volterra. Aro was at first fascinated by Carlisle’s arguments on why killing humans was wrong, and his almost disgust with feeding off of them. Carlisle persistent in changing the threes choice of diet, kept Aro entertained for quite sometime. Carlisle was the first vampire out side of the circle that Aro considered a friend—and he did so love to talk with the young man. They would have very in-depth, intellectual conversations, something that hadn’t happened in volterra in quite awhile. Marcus had grown dull, lifeless, and very distant since Didyme’s death, and all Caius liked to talk about was killing, maiming, and his disgust for werewolves—needless to say it was nice having something more to talk about then how many ways you wanted to kill “those filthy disgusting dogs” Unfortunately Like most things his interest in Carlisle’s soon tarnished, and soon he grew bored with his friends distain for his diet. He was not surprised to see his friend leave—Aro would miss the conversations but that was all. Carlisle served no real purpose in the guard except keeping Aro entertained.
“I love a happy ending. They are so rare.”
The year progressed and routine settled in, on occasion Aro would have to send his guard to clean up the messes of other vampires, Or have to deal with star crossed lovers—there love child, and doggy friends, but on a whole life had a pretty set routine.
