Laurent
WHO: Another member of James’ nomadic coven is Laurent, and is described as having olive skin and dark hair. Because Laurent feeds on humans, his eyes are red just like other vampires who drink human blood. Not much is known about him before we meet him in “Twilight”, except that he’s been around for about 300 years.
LEADER OR FOLLOWER? Laurent keeps company with James and Victoria as part of the trio of vampires that trek through Forks, Washington. When they try to join the Cullens’ game of vampire baseball, at first it appears that Laurent is the leader of their small coven when he acts as spokesperson, but soon we find out that James is actually the decision maker of the group, not Laurent. Laurent even seems to fear James, calling his tracking skills “lethal”.
DOES CURIOSITY KILL THE CAT? One can question Laurent’s motive when he warns the Cullens about James going after Bella. Shouldn’t he be loyal to James and Victoria? One would think so, but it seems more that he’s intrigued by the Cullens’ “vegetarian” lifestyle, hunting animals for their blood, rather than feeding on humans. Later we find out that he even tries that lifestyle out for awhile, but occasionally cheats and feasts on humans.
