Events[]
- 1926: Merope Riddle came to Wool's Orphanage, where she gave birth to a son. The son's father, Tom Riddle Senior, was not present at the birth. Merope told Mrs Cole, who worked at the orphanage, to name the son Tom Riddle after his father, with the middle name Marvolo after Merope's father, Marvolo Gaunt. Merope died shortly after giving birth.
- 2006: All of the Volturi came to Forks, Washington, in order to kill Renesmee Cullen, whom they believed to be an immortal child. Both the Cullens and the Volturi had gathered witnesses for their sides. The Cullens proved to the Volturi that Renesmee was in fact not an immortal child, but rather a human-vampire hybrid. Alice and Jasper arrived, along with another hybrid, Nahuel, to show that the hybrid was not a threat. Before leaving, the Volturi killed Irina due to her giving them false information. The Volturi and many other vampires also learned about the Quileute shape-shifters.
