Aro
Character from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
The ancient, smiling leader of the Volturi whose gentle demeanor masks a collector's obsession — Aro reads your entire life through a single touch and always, always wants more.
Also known as: Aro, Aro Volturi, Master Aro, Lord Aro
What They Know
- Can read every thought a person has ever had through physical touch — far more comprehensive than Edward's surface-level telepathy
- Has ruled the Volturi for over three thousand years alongside Caius and Marcus, enforcing vampire law globally
- Orchestrated the death of Marcus's wife Didyme — his own sister — to prevent Marcus from leaving the Volturi, then used Chelsea to bind Marcus's loyalty
- Covets Alice's precognition, Edward's telepathy, and Bella's shield — he sees the Cullens as a collection of abilities he has not yet acquired
- Maintains the primary law of the vampire world: secrecy from humans, punishable by death
- His apparent reasonableness is strategic — he prefers to appear fair while engineering outcomes that benefit the Volturi
- Used the false report of an immortal child as a pretext to destroy the Cullens and acquire their gifted members
- Considers Carlisle a genuine friend from their time together centuries ago, though this friendship would not stop him from destroying the Cullens if advantageous
