Personality/Characteristics—

• Special Abilities/Talents: Alec has the devastating ability to cancel out all of someone's senses, so that they cannot see, hear, talk or think. He effectively turns them into vegetables, allowing the Volturi to easily execute their prey/enemies. His power is one of the primary reasons that the Volturi are untouchable-- or were, before Bella was turned in Breaking Dawn and was discovered to have the power to protect herself and others from other vampires' abilities -- Alec's included (Breaking Dawn, pg. 728).
• Description: Seemingly calmer than his sister Jane -- with whom he has a close relationship -- (New Moon, pg. 464), Alec has nevertheless proven to be as ruthless and self-interested as she. He shows no remorse for taking life and carrying out the Volturi's frequently violent missions. There's a quiet confidence about him that, given his readiness to kill, is usually terrifying (see: when Bella meets the Volturi for the first time at the end of New Moon). Unlike his sister, Alec does not become angry when Bella uses her shield to protect her family from his powers. Instead he simply leaves when Renesmee is proven not to be a problem (Breaking Dawn, pg. 732).

Personal History—

The Volturi had their eyes on Alec and his sister Jane when they were humans. But, they wanted to let them get a little older before they changed them. However, when the villagers tried to burn them at the stake for witchcraft, Aro slaughtered the entire village and turned Alec and Jane into vampires on the spot.
