Royce King 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
His family was very rich and one day, Rosalie Hale caught his attention while taking lunch to her father at the bank where he worked; and Royce's father owned. He began courting her and gave her a lot of flowers; violets because he thought they matched her eyes and roses for her name. Shortly after, Royce proposes to Rosalie and she accepts. After visiting a friend later 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 wanted to show them. The men beat and raped Rosalie and left her for dead in the street. One of his friends said to Royce that he needed to find a new bride now, and he just laughed. Shortly after this attack on Rosalie, Carlisle Cullen finds Rosalie lying in the street, close to death. To save her life, her transforms her into a vampire. When she discovers her immense, inhuman power, she buys a wedding dress and brutally murders Royce and his friends.
