## Biography

### Early life

It is unknown what Austin does for a career but he appears to have a good job to support his family. He is known to be a close friend of Bryce’s father and was left to raise Bryce when his father Peyton Summers died in an accident.

### *Have A Purpose*

Austin made his appearance when Bryce comes home from school and hears that Bryce has an interest in Lucina Stewart who she and her family, the Cullens, transferred. He and Ellie then find out from the rest of the foster children that Bryce’s school, North Central High, has students who mistreat others below them influenced by the principal and Bryce is one of the victims and failed to tell his family about it. After lecturing Bryce about failing to report about the incident, they still let Bryce attend school but mostly because they were easily persuaded by Bryce’s charm.

Austin and Ellie were then called to the hospital due to Bryce being beaten brutally by Orion Stern and his friends. There they got to meet Lucina who Bryce started dating and they invited her to their house for dinner after Bryce was discharged where the family was very welcoming to her. Austin then attends Bryce’s basketball game with his family where they saw Bryce scored the winning shot to help his team win the game. After that, Austin and his family join the Cullen family in their home to celebrate Bryce’s birthday. They joined them again when they were invited to celebrate Christmas with them when Bryce had an asthma attack and nearly dies but Carlisle Cullen was able to aid him. He informs the Gold family that Bryce will be staying with the Cullens to keep tabs on him of his asthma thus meaning Bryce will move out of their home unknown to the fact that the Cullens are vampires and Bryce was turned into one to be saved.

#### *A Christmas Surprise*

Austin and his family celebrates Christmas again with the Cullens at their place joined by a few other guests where the Cullens tell them about the supernatural and finding out them being vampires. The reason why is because as the new Volturi, the Cullens told every one of their story and the events that has happened revealing about the supernatural. They made one adjustment to the law about revealing their existence; if a civilized vampire has any living family member or someone connected to, they have the right to know as long as they don't reveal the existence to other humans. Because Bryce is part of the Cullen family, Austin and his family were brought into the supernatural.
