Died at age 69 in a catastrophic lab accident (Project Genesis) — trying to contain his own self-evolving organism to protect the world. Conscious sacrifice. His last act saved millions. Reincarnated by a cosmic being as part of Universal Law §69-69-69, Chapter 13: cannot speak of his past world or reveal its knowledge to others — it only benefits him. Life 2 – Twilight Universe Reborn with memory intact; built a secret lab in the woods by age 15. Died again in a blood experiment failure — similar to his first death. Carlisle and Esme found him fatally wounded. Carlisle turned him out of mercy. Realized after awakening: he’s physically a “child vampire” — a taboo existence. But mentally, he’s ancient and stable. Saved from Volturi execution by Carlisle’s personal vouching.
