Miscellaneous--
Actor: Jamie Campbell-Bower
Personal History--
Along with Aro and Marcus, Caius rose to power in the vampire world thousands of years ago. Carlisle spent some time with Caius and the rest of the Volturi when he was struggling to understand his nature. Caius still does not understand Carlisle's vegetarian tendencies.
In New Moon, Caius is opposed to letting Bella leave Volterra because she knows too much about the vampire world. He doesn't agree with Aro's decision to let Bella go, but makes do with threatening Edward, Bella and Alice with a future visit to make sure they've changed Bella. In Breaking Dawn, Caius tries to find every excuse to eliminate the Cullens. He has Irina destroyed, to tempt Kate and Tanya, and tries to label the Quileute "werewolves" as "Children of the Moon," to create a reason to start a violent battle, but fails when Edward describes the werewolves as "shape-shifters."
