With the light hand of an American, Stephanie Meyer, who became the author of a series of books, vampire fashion arose around the world. The living dead, who have been feared and hated for centuries, have now become the favorite characters of millions of readers and viewers.
Among the numerous heroes of Mayer's works, some especially fell in love with the vampire Demetrius Volturi performed by Briton Charlie Buly. Not much attention was paid to him in books, and even less in the films of the saga. But the Twilight fans, having composed several fan fiction about the future fate of the character, corrected this unfortunate, in their opinion, omission.
The Twilight Vampire Saga
The plot of most books in the Twilight series revolves around a girl named Bella Swan, who fell in love with the vampire Edward Cullen. Over the course of five novels, the love story of these heroes is told, and their path to happiness and independence from vampire foundations is also traced.
Becoming Edward's lover, and after learning about the world of ghouls, Bella faced the powerful Volturi clan.
These Italian vampires are the oldest and most powerful of their kind. Thanks to this, they took on the role of legislators and judges of all the living dead on the planet.
Each of the clan has a special power, thanks to which it was elected, in due time, to become the Volturi.

Once, wandering aimlessly through the night streets of Rome, he was converted into a vampire by a member of the Egyptian clan Amon (Amun).

Over time, he began to hear the call of the head of the Volturi - Aro, who, learning about his gift of a hunter, wanted Demetrius to join their clan. Soon it happened.
For the first time this character appears in the second book of the saga - "New Moon", and later participates in the events and other novels of the series.
