Laurent is a vampire who travels in James’s coven. Though he acts like the leader of the coven when he first meets the Cullens, he later reveals that this was entirely a ruse. Though Laurent feeds on humans, he expresses curiosity and interest in the Cullens’ way of life. Ultimately, he’s unwilling to join the Cullens and fight James, so he heads north to another vegetarian vampire settlement in Denali, Alaska.
