The British coven, originally the English Coven, is the second-highest authority in the vampire world, home to half-vegetarian vampires located in London, England and consists of at least 27 members if not more, with Gabriel being the overall leader.
They are known among those who can be trusted with their secret to behave more gifted vampires than the Volturi.
The British Coven also extend family from the Russian Coven and have a close friendship with the Swedish Coven and the Ukraine Coven. In the 1800s, they had connections to the Irish Coven. Most members possess a special gift, if not more than one. They only appear where they are truly needed and keep this as their coven law. They are considered close family to other covens in British areas.
The coven has not decided whether to stick with the vegetarian lifestyle or human blood to sustain them so they drink both. Apart from their choice of blood to live on they are a very organized and civilized coven. They are currently living in London, England where they coexist alongside humans with as little trouble as possible. The coven acts as the highest authority in Britain, and take the crimes into their own hands. They have remained unknown to the vampire world as the Volturi think that Gabriel died centuries ago.
They respect the vampire laws like any other coven. The coven consumes both Human and animal blood, but mostly animal blood, so most members have developed control over their thirst, though any younger members of the coven treat humans the same as animals the older, more mature members learn to respect human life and take their blood without losing control. Their eyes are almost darkish purple, which allows them to blend in with the human population more easily.
Before the Volturi confrontation, Carlisle and Esme went to Gabriel and asked them all to witness, but Gabriel refused, saying that if the Volturi knew he wasn't dead, an attack would definitely occur. Gabriel begged Carlisle not to give away their secret.
History[]
Gabriel: The founder and complete ruler of the coven, was born in England during the late 300 AD. He was commissioned as a messenger through Europe, and mailed most of his letters to Volterra Italy. Gabriel had to deliver one letter to the saints inside the clock tower in Volterra, their, he met Aro. Aro liked his strong appearance and turned him into a vampire straight away, making him a part of the Volturi guard.
