## Biography

### Early life

Skai was born in the United States of 2025. His mother was human and his father was a vampire. Skai's father was in love with Skai's mother when she was human. Sometime later, Skai’s mother was pregnant. Things got complicated for Skai's family from his mother's side because they have no idea how she could be *that* pregnant and she couldn't tell them about his father's existence. Skai's father would've taken his mother and got the both of them into hiding but her family really had him cornered so he was forced to tell them and that's when Skai's mother went into labor at that time. Skai's father was able to deliver the baby and Skai was born. However, the Volturi came led by Aro, Marcus and Caius and they killed Skai’s father and the family that witnessed while Skai’s mother was left to die after giving birth. As for Skai, the Volturi left him alive with no one to raise him. This was before the Volturi were taken down by the Romanian coven.

Skai spent his life on his own as a nomad. In March of 2035, Skai was in Montana when he saw a vampire/human hybrid named Lucien Summers with a human girl named Kourtney Collier being ganged up by some thugs so Skai comes and assists Lucien taking down the thugs. After introductions and dropping Kourtney home, Lucien introduced Skai to his family, the Cullens. Skai was curious about the Cullen’s lifestyle living with humans. When Skai was told that the Cullens are the new Volturi, at first he was mad but only for a moment hearing that they modified the law to tell any humans related to a civilize vampire as long as they swore to secrecy. Skai has been with the Cullens since then but has never lived with them even though they offered.

Skai and Lucien however became best friends being close as brothers. Two weeks later, Kourtney found out about the supernatural when she overheard Skai talking to Lucien. Skai came up with an idea about the future for vampires. After the Volturi killed his entire family, Skai thought there was no hope for the future with them ruling their world, not the way they run it with the immediate punishments and no second chances of appeals, torturing and such. When the Cullens took over, Skai thought of this as an amazing stroke of fate how he was lucky to have bump into Lucien. Seeing them taking over and how the Cullens made a change to make things easier for humans and vampires who fall in love inspired by Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, made things happy for everyone. Skai was okay with the changes but he wanted more. He believes that since the Cullens are the new foundation of the peace and civilization, they have the power to make a difference making them the most powerful coven in the world with their special abilities. His idea is what made the Cullens feel uncertain of Skai which was why they warned Lucien about it but he didn’t believe them and ran away. Skai came to Lucien and Kourtney at her place where not only Lucien felt betrayed that Skai admitted his intentions but that Kourtney agrees with Skai due to how it’s difficult for her to keep the supernatural secret from her family and it makes Skai happy that she’s on his side due to his romantic feelings for her. When Lucien ran away being on his own, Skai took a chance with Kourtney driving the car to ambush Lucien who was found by Lucas Stone. Skai jumped in and absorbed Lucas’s gift with his absorbing ability leaving with Kourtney. Skai was testing out Lucas’s gift until Lucien came and an argument broke out between the two along with Kourtney leading Lucien and Skai into a fight. Lucien had a slight advantage due to his reflexes until Skai shot an aura sphere causing Lucien to redirect it before Skai shot it only for it to hit Kourtney sending her flying until she hit the mountain wall killing her instantly. The death of Kourtney’s death affected Skai deeply as he took the blame on Lucien and attempted to kill him until the Cullens came and stopped him with Lucas taking his gift back from Skai. He was able to escape and fled the country but not before he swore revenge on Lucien.

### *Long Live Life*

Skai spent years over the lost of Kourtney and his vendetta on Lucien as he tries to find ways to get his revenge. He then came across a sword called IL Mietitore Capacità; it controls gifted vampires dead and alive in metal form. Using the sword combing with his gift, Skai is able to control an army of gifted vampires in metal forms at his control as well as using the gifts for himself for revenge on Lucien. He started capturing those like Benjamin, Demetri, Jemma and Raymundo while bringing back those gifted vampires that died. He sends some of the mental vampires to find the Cullens living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He mysteriously sends a message to them saying that their gifts will soon be his.

Skai continues collecting more gifted vampires until he took a visit to Minnesota coming to Luna Snow’s house, after knowing she’s Lucien’s mate, while Luna was home alone and was about to kill her until Lucien stops him in time as a brief fight happens again between the two. Skai reveals to be behind the metal vampires using IL Mietitore Capacità and would’ve killed Lucien but believes it’s too soon and so spares him and Luna and left before the rest of the Cullens arrived. Skai continues obtaining more gifted vampires until it was nearly time when he sends some of his metal vampires at the Cullens while they were at school. Skai was in Canada being low key when he heard some of the gifted vampires coming at his location from following the metal vampires. He was ambushed by Kate, William Heart, Eleazar and Eden Love but captures them easily and later Jalen Long after he carelessly followed the others. Jasper Hale joins in but was overpowered by Skai and tries to escape but Skai catches him and has him under his control.

Once Skai has captured nearly every gifted vampires, he comes for the Cullens taking every single one even Carlisle, Esme and Emmett Cullen, Rosalie Hale, Jacob Black, Krystal Diamond and Bryce Summers but Lucas escapes to find Luna, Lucien, Evan and Sarah Black. Skai sends his metal vampires chasing after them until he catches up with Lucas fighting him until in the end he captures him and goes after, Luna, Lucien, Evan and Sarah. He catches up to them and Evan tries to fight Skai by himself but gets capture by him. Skai soon catches up with Sarah and uses Evan to fight Sarah until he captures her as well. Skai then catches up with Lucien and an unconscious Luna when she is believed to be dead after his entrance. Skai and Lucien engaged in a fight when Skai made Lucien also fight against the Cullens. Skai has Lucien overwhelmed despite Lucien’s efforts. Lucien was about to be killed by Skai after apologizing to him of the event of losing Kourtney when Skai was stopped by Luna causing not only Skai to lose his gift but also destroying the sword and releasing the Cullens and all the other gifted vampires from Skai's control. However, Luna was dying and Skai believes he has won but Carlisle states that she can still be saved. Lucien changes Luna into a vampire against Skai’s rant for revenge and after that, the Cullens destroyed Skai. Before he was, Skai turned to Lucien as Lucien gave Skai a sad unfortunate look before he was destroyed by Emmett.
