The Vampire of the Day is Twilight’s main antagonist, James. In the movie, he was described having regular features, very non-descript and generic. His hair was blond-brown and had a cat-like gait and vigilant-looking eyes. These features were at his advantage, adding to his hunter-like character.

As a human, he was an independent and confident child. He was the best tracker in his group and was very competitive. James was turned by a French vampire who found James’s confidence amusing and offered to best him in hunting. The vampire won and turned James. As a vampire, he lived as a very ruthless and sadistic hunter, making a game out of his prey. He lives on human blood and is the leader of the nomads, Victoria and Laurent.

He is played by Cam Gigandet in the movie. Not that very average looking but was very effective.
