With the help of Alice's 'sight', they searched for the Cullens, and in the meantime, learned to adjust to 'vegetarianism'. He didn't know such a thing could exist but he followed her. She also told him about the ability to survive off of animal blood instead of human blood, as well as their future with Carlisle Cullen and his family. When she held out her hand, he took it, and felt an unfamiliar emotion for the first time: hope. As it turned out, she had been waiting for him. At first, he was puzzled by her happy behavior around him, but nevertheless, her joyful emotions impacted him greatly. In 1948, he ran into a diner in Philadelphia and met Alice Cullen. He tried to kill less often, but the thirst always grew overwhelming. However, he did not find peace, since he could still feel the emotions of his human victims, which deeply depressed him. He immediately left Maria and her coven to join Peter and Charlotte. In 1938, Peter came back and told Jasper about the way vampires could coexist up North.

He began planning how to destroy her first, despite his reluctance to the idea of destroying the one person who mattered to him, but his years in the coven had affected him so deeply that he almost became a savage. After this incident, Maria's feelings for him changed: he could sense how fearful-and somewhat mistrustful-she was toward him, and knew that she would plot a way to destroy him. When Peter ran off with Charlotte, a newborn that they were supposed to kill, Jasper allowed them to escape. While in the army, he befriended a newborn named Peter, whom he persuaded Maria to keep because of his advanced combat skills and kindred spirit. Over time, the pain and cruelty of such existence depressed him to no end. Since Maria wouldn't keep vampires after the first year of their transformations, Jasper was responsible for disposing of them, something he felt remorseful of because he could feel their pain when he killed them just as much as he could feel the pain of his human victims. Jasper commanded Maria's newborn army that participated in the Southern vampire wars. When he became a vampire, he gained the ability to feel and manipulate people's emotions which was very useful in controlling the younger newborns. Jasper and Maria seemingly shared a short romantic relationship but she never got over her deceased mate.

Nettie and Lucy gained territories of their own, but when they tried to rebel against Maria, Jasper sensed their malevolent emotions and teamed up with Maria to kill them. He and other newborns helped Maria reclaim her territory and later claim dominance over others. Maria knew from his suit that he was in the military and changed him into a vampire in hopes of utilizing his training and experience to create an efficient army. After evacuating women and children, he rode on his way back to Galveston and met the vampires, Maria, Lucy and Nettie, who had recently lost their respective territories to other covens. In the following 2 years, he was promoted to major in the army and became the youngest major in Texas. Jasper Whitlock joined the Confederate Army before he turned 17, using his way of persuasion. " I didn't have quite the same upbringing as my adopted siblings." ―Jasper on his early life.

He is portrayed by Jackson Rathbone in the movie adaptations, and by Liam Johnson in the segment We've Met Before. His Life and Death counterpart is Jessamine Hale. By living as a vegetarian, he was freed from the emotions that so depressed him. In 1948, he met Alice, the love of his life, and with her joined the peaceful Cullen family-a coven of vegetarian vampires. In the 1940s, he left his bloodthirsty coven to become a nomad. 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. After the transformation, Jasper aided Maria in her creation of a newborn vampire army, which successfully conquered the feeding grounds of Texas.

Jasper is also the adoptive brother-in-law of Bella Swan and the adoptive uncle of Renesmee Cullen.Īfter becoming a major in the Confederate Army, Jasper was set upon by the vampire Maria, who proceeded to turn him. He is the husband of Alice Cullen and the adoptive son of Carlisle and Esme Cullen, as well as the adoptive brother of Rosalie Hale, Emmett and Edward Cullen. Jasper Hale (born Jasper Whitlock in 1844, in Houston, Texas) is one of the few surviving vampires of the Southern vampire wars, who later joined the Olympic coven. This is a climate I enjoy." ―Jasper on Alice
