Biography

Edward was born in the late 19th century and grew to become a very successful lawyer living in Chicago. He married a woman named Elizabeth and fathered a son, Edward Jr. His job made the family moderately wealthy, and his son was given a proper education. However, Edward was also physically and emotionally distant from his son.

Edward died in the first wave of Spanish influenza in 1918. His wife later died in the second wave and his son was changed into a vampire by Carlisle Cullen. Though not biologically related, Edward shared a father-son relationship with Carlisle in a way he never related to his birth father.

He was mentioned in Breaking Dawn when Bella stated that she wanted to name the baby, if a boy, Edward, giving that both its father and paternal biological grandfather were named Edward as a reason.
