Royce King II was a human who lived during the time of the Great Depression. He was engaged to Rosalie Hale for a short period of time before being killed by her. He is perceived as being quite out-spoken but is liked by Rosalie because of her vanity.
History
Royce and Rosalie
Royce's family was one of the richest in town, due to his father owning a bank. Rosalie caught his eye when she brought lunch to her father at his work, which happened to be the bank Royce's family owned. He began courting her and gave her bouquets of flowers; violets because he thought they matched her eyes, and roses for her name. Shortly after, Royce proposed to Rosalie and she accepted, not realizing that he only loved her for her beauty.
After visiting her friend, Vera, her son, Henry, and husband one night, Rosalie was on her way home when she heard drunken laughter coming from a group of men. They were Royce and his friends. He bragged to them how beautiful Rosalie was and they wanted him to show them. When he did the men ganged up on her, beat her, and raped her. Beaten, raped, and exhausted, Rosalie was left for dead in the street.
Death
Shortly after this attack on Rosalie, Carlisle Cullen found Rosalie Hale lying in the street, close to death. To save her life, he transforms her into a vampire. After discovering her immense, inhuman power, she brutally murders Royce's friends. She then stole a wedding dress, and saving Royce for last, she donned her new dress and found Royce locked in a windowless room with a thick, vault-like door guarded by two men. Killing the guards, Rosalie entered the room where she tortured Royce to death. She made sure that no blood was spilled because she wouldn't have been able to resist drinking it, and she didn't want any part of him inside her. Proud of what she had done, she ran away before the police came.
