Biography

Demetri is a tracker a million times more talented than James and Alistair. This makes him useful in tracking a criminal on the loose.

New Moon

Main article: New Moon

Demetri makes his first appearance in New Moon, coming to bring Edward (and kill him if necessary) and Bella to Aro with Felix and Jane. During their confrontation with the Volturi leaders, Demetri is left on the sidelines to observe their conversation.

After Aro dismisses them, Demetri escorts them to the exit.

In the movie of New Moon, Alice tries to help Edward fight Felix, but Demetri manages to disable her before she could reach them.

Eclipse

"They have already drawn too much attention."

Main article: Eclipse

While making no official physical appearance in Eclipse, he is assumed to be with the guard sent to Forks to dispose of Victoria's army.

In the movie adaptation, Demetri is only seen in two scenes. One is in Seattle, where he, Alec, Jane and Felix observe Victoria's vampire army, and, if necessary, dispose of them. In the second scene, he shows up near the end of the movie, to question the Cullens after they destroyed the vampire army.

Breaking Dawn

Main article: Breaking Dawn

He is an immense threat towards the Cullens' survival in Breaking Dawn, as he could trace all of them (except Bella) if they managed to escape during the confrontation with the Volturi over Renesmee Cullen. Demetri can not find Bella because of her mental shield. He is the best known vampire tracker. Like Bella said, Aro did not surround himself with second-bests. He is most likely a fierce fighter too, as he is always leading an attack and at spear point.

Powers and abilities

Sensory Location

Main article: Sensory Location

Demetri's special ability is sensory location. He catches the "tenor" of a person's thoughts, and uses it to follow his targets until he finds them. It is believed that he would not be able to track Bella, since she is protected from mental abilities. However, it is still said in New Moon that his powers are far more powerful than James', because he can track people from all across the world, while James needed to be relatively close to the victim. He is said to be the greatest tracker in the world.
