Featured in the “Twilight” franchise created by American author Stephenie Meyerthe vampire Jasper is one of the characters with the darkest origin story – despite having only part of his life presented in the plot.
The man was born in 1844, with the surname Whitlock. When he was still human, he enlisted in the Confederate Army as a major, where he fought in the American Civil War (also known as the Civil War), in the United States, fighting for the separation of the southern territory from the rest of the country.
Considered an extremely skilled military man, as reflected by the ScreenRant portal, Jasper suffers considerable mental damage due to the horrors of war, where he saw only death and endless destruction. After all, his life would still get worse after encountering a group of vampires.
In 1863, right in the middle of the war, he ends up being seduced by a woman named Maria, who was creating an army of newly created vampires, and believed that Jasper’s experience and training in the military could be useful to him.
With that, she transforms him, and makes the man spend decades transforming innocent people into immortal beings, being responsible for training everyone to kill without mercy those who do not support the new lifestyle.
After realizing that Maria was turning people into vampires just to, many times, just kill them, Jasper is heartbroken and decides to flee the army in which he was inserted. During his escape, he meets Alice, with whom he falls in love, and together they become the last members of the Cullen clan.
Upon joining the coven, the members realized that Jasper and Rosalie were very similar physically. So, so that they could maintain their relationships with their respective boyfriends without interfering with the family’s disguise, it was decided that the two would pass as twins and, to make the story even more true, the man ended up abandoning the Whitlock surname and adopting Hale, which belonged to Rosalie, making them the only ones in the group not to have the last name Cullen.
