Who changed Carlisle Cullen into a vampire?

Question

I remember the stories told about all the other vampires, but I can't remember Carlisle? Who changed him??

Answer 1

A vamp that he was chasing trying to kill. That was his father's business, seeking out evil and killing it.  That's also what made Carlisle good/vegetarian because he hated what he had become so much that he only fed on animals.

Answer 2

It was a random vampire who went up to hunt and came from the sewers underneath the London; Carlisle was leading a hunt for his father, who was a priest.  Carlisle got bitten, hid away in a cellar of potatoes, kept quiet for a few days as he changed/the vemon seared through him and he woke up and found what happened to him.

It's all explained in a chapter called "Carlisle" in the first book, Twilight.

Answer 3

Carlisle was a Priests son, and his father went on these parties, killing mostly people accused of being supernatural like witches, werewolves, and vampires, most of these were not. Thus this was past down to Carlisle. Carlisle, with his compassion, wasn't very successful. But he knew, or had seen these people climb out of the sewers at night(these were vampires, and they came out at night to hunt). So he assembled a party, and he waited outside of where he saw the people/vampire exit.  Finally one came out, and warned the others of the human sent, and the vampires did an attack on the people. Carlisle was one of them, but he was not killed, he crawled himself away and hide in a cellar, covering himself up in potatoes for the three days of transformation, amazingly enough he was able to stay quiet. So, no one really knows who exactly created him, but it was some random vampire who lived in the sewers of London.

Answer 4

he went to hunt the vamps but instead they hunted him and he spent 3 days in a little cellar thing.

Answer 5

Carlisle's father was a pastor i believe in london england who hunted vampires and other similar creatures although he almost never found any real ones. after he became too old to hunt them anymore carlisle took over.

after a while, he discovered a real coven of them beneath the streets in london. one night he led a raid against them with some other men. being the fastest of his group, he was ahead of the others when a real vampire, starved and deranged, attacked him and bit him but before carlisle could be killed, the vampire was distracted by the rest of the group. it killed two men and ran off with them, leaving carlisle bleeding in the street.

knowing his father would consider him contaminated by the vampire, carlisle crawled off into a nearby cellar and buried himself under some potatoes to endure the three days of transformation.

so pretty much he doesn't know who his creator was however, he even feel bad for the vampire sometimes. this is probably also one of the reasons as to why he chose the diet he did. he didn't have another vampire there pressuring him to feed on humans

Answer 6

There was something happening in his village(I don't remember what) and while running, he encounters three vampires who bite him. He saves himself by staying covered in potatoes, though it keeps him "alive" he becomes a vampire. He turned Esme into a vampire to marry her. Carlisle has never tasted blood and never killed a person.

Answer 7

just some random vampires on the street because he was chasing them trying to kill them for his father.
