Personal History--
Eleazar was once a member of the Volturi guard, and a very valuable member because of his gift . He left the Volturi after meeting Carmen and they joined Tanya, Kate and Irina in Denali. "Aro was sorry to see him go" (Breaking Dawn, pg. 580).
In Breaking Dawn, Eleazar is pivotal in helping the Cullens strategize against the Voltui. His biggest contribution was identifying Bella's power to be a shield. He, along with the rest of the Denali coven (excluding Irina), stay in Forks as witnesses of Renesmee's growth when the Volturi arrive.
Classic Quotes--
A very talented family. A mind reader for a father, a shield for a mother, and then whatever magic this extraordinary child has bewitched us with. I wonder if there is a name for what she does, or if it is the norm for a vampire hybrid. As if such a thing could ever be considered normal! A vampire hybrid, indeed! (Breaking Dawn, pg. 595)
In truth, categorizing talents is a subjective, haphazard business; every talent is unique, never exactly the same thing twice. But you, Bella, are fairly easy to classify. Talents that are purely defensive, that protect some aspect of the bearer are always called shields (Breaking Dawn, pg. 596).
