Personal History—

Edward was born on June 20, 1901 to Elizabeth and Edward Masen, who were a comfortably wealthy family in Chicago. He was 17 when the age for the draft lowered and the influenza epidemic hit. Edward was contemplating signing up for the army when he and his family became sick. After his father succumbed to the disease, his mother, with her last breaths, pleaded with Carlisle to do anything to save her only son. The doctor knew that Edward, too, would not withstand the disease much longer, and, desperate with loneliness, decided to change Edward to have some company. Edward discovered after that his transformation came with a rare gift: the ability to read minds. Quickly, Edward adopted the strict vegetarian diet, but he went through a period of “rebellious adolescence,” (Twilight, pg. 342) during which he sought out criminals. This lifestyle did not suit Edward, and his conscience soon got the better of him, so he returned to live with Carlisle and the rest of the Cullens.
