Biography
Early life
Jalen Kaiser Long was born on October 15, 1996 to Atticus and Brenda Long, as an only child, in Seattle, Washington. His parents are proud owners of Long Corporation, the best gaming company. Atticus and Brenda state that Jalen is their greatest creation. As a young boy, Jalen gets private tutors for his studies while his parents work but they still spend time with him the same.
Jalen on the run.
One night when Jalen was four, Long Corporation was having a banquet to promote a new gaming system. After the event, Jalen and his parents were leaving the banquet late when two guys came out of nowhere and mugged them. Atticus was told to hand over his car keys and wallet which he did but he did so while trying to protect Jalen and Brenda. This upsets the muggers and without warning, Jalen’s father was shot and died straight after with Brenda and Jalen running away from them. However, the two muggers caught up to them so Brenda told Jalen to go get help. Jalen refuses to do so but reluctantly did coming back with the police and his parent’s co-workers just to see his mother being beaten and raped. After arresting the two muggers, Brenda was taken to the hospital but she died a few hours later. Jalen state that he still has nightmares of that night as a kid. After losing his parents, Jalen was left in a foster home since he had no other family member except for his aunt who wanted nothing to do with him.
At his foster home, his foster parents never treated Jalen right like their own child. His foster mom is strict; she would always beat Jalen or his foster siblings as punishments or for no reason at all. His foster dad is an alcoholic and would sometimes join his wife in the beating. Even Jalen’s foster siblings never treated him well; they would tease him or mostly ending up in fights with Jalen resulting in only Jalen getting punished. Only Jalen’s foster sister, Elena Margaret, was nice to him. She gets treated just like Jalen has by their foster family. Jalen however loved and cared about Elena as she does to Jalen. Elena always stays by Jalen’s side like glue. She looks up to him like a big brother as he treats her like a sister. They promised each other that neither of them will go with a family until they find one that will adopt the both of them.
During that time, Jalen met Tiffany Stewart who, apart from Elena, was nice to him along with her family who welcomed Jalen with open arms. Tiffany and Jalen get along well and Jalen always comes over to Tiffany’s house to play. Unbeknownst to Jalen, Tiffany and her family were planning to adopt him until one night, Jalen came home to hear Elena crying and came to see their foster dad on top of Elena with her clothes off. Jalen grabbed a desk lamp and attacked his foster dad knocking him out cold saving Elena. However, his foster mom came in and saw the results believing Jalen raped Elena and beat her husband for silence and she called the police on Jalen. Elena was too traumatized to help Jalen as he was taken by the cops. Fed up with how people are treating him after the lost of his parents and while the cops were distracted from a fight between the neighbors, Jalen took off running to avoid prison and has been on the run since then.
Jalen as a vampire.
Jalen spent his time on the run living on the streets. He got a part time job posting flyers to earn money. Sometimes Jalen helps those in need of help such as pushing someone out of the way before they got ran over, breaking the car window so that a child could get out from dying from the heat, fight off guys picking on others etc. Jalen never looks back to see if the people are expressing their gratitude to him since Jalen never received any respect as Jalen just comes and goes. Jalen continues doing so until it was time for him to leave Washington before he gets caught. Jalen continues going to places doing the same thing as he got older.
By the time Jalen was twenty, he was in Detroit, Michigan continuing his lifestyle. One night, he came across a group of men ganging up on a girl and Jalen stepped in and saved her. When the girl took off running, Jalen got knocked out from behind. He wakes up to be dangled by the hands being lifted off the ground by the men he tried to stop earlier. Because of his heroics, the men tasered Jalen to death until he was saved momentary by a vampire named Mordecai Coleman who killed the men. Seeing that Jalen is moments away from dying, Mordecai offers to save Jalen to start over his life. Jalen accepts only to have found out that Mordecai changed him into a vampire.
Jalen doing justice by killing disrespectful humans.
Jalen formed a good friendship with Mordecai. They made a mission to go out at night to stop any humans being disrespectful to others for them to avoid what Mordecai and Jalen went through. It was Mordecai who first discovered Jalen’s tracking abilities one night when they were trying to find a human that escaped and Jalen found the person no problem based on the person’s mind he caught. Jalen was always able to know the streets and know the people around him. It helps to know when he can sneak in to steal food without getting caught and avoid the police if they find him; after his transformation, his ability blossomed into true psychic talent. In 2019, Jalen came across Eden Love who was in the process of being hung until he came and saved her but was too late as she was nearly dying. Suspecting that she went through something similar to what he and Mordecai went through, Jalen changed her. Eden was grateful to Jalen that no one ever cared for her. In 2020, Jalen and the others stepped in to help Sophia Faye when she was stabbed by a knife from three men. After killing them, Mordecai changed Sophia. In 2021, they met Cameron Parker, a guy with a speech disorder, who Eden fell in love with. However, Cameron was shot during a high school shooting and Jalen and the others killed them. Seeing Eden distressed over a dying Cameron, Mordecai changed Cameron. After his transformation, Cameron and Eden became mates. In 2023, they saw Ariana Vega being raped and seeing her the same way how Elena was about to end up, he and the others killed the men and Jalen changed her. However, Ariana expressed romantic interest in Jalen which Jalen politely declines numerous times. In 2024, they met William Heart who rescued a nun, who died after, out of a burning church caused by some business men who about to kill William until Jalen and the others came in. After killing them, Jalen changed William. Three months later, they saw Steve and his assistant Spike who knows about the existence of vampires and Jalen and his coven kept themselves hidden around them since then. Four months after that, they encountered Zoran, Barry, Max, Dawn and Virgil who love to cause trouble and Jalen and his coven stop them at all cost continuing to do so whenever they run into them. Because of how they ended up, Jalen and his friends all believed that humans are nothing to be respected from since they never do to others except for those that do matter.
Value In Beliefs
Jalen shows Tiffany around Detroit.
"I… wanted to start over my life. I spent the last twenty years having nothing besides my coven. When I met you guys, you all went through something similar to mine, but you were happy like… like a family. I… never seen a family so different yet similar with such a strong bond. Apart from wanting to be with Tiffany, I want to join your coven to have a fresh start in my life, if you let me that is."
- ―Jalen to the Cullens
In 2025, Jalen and his friends continue their lives with their beliefs about humans. One afternoon, Sophia picked up danger from Zoran’s coven attacking a group of vampires and a werewolf that are protecting humans. Jalen and his friends came and chased Zoran’s coven away and introduce themselves to the Cullens who were the ones in danger from Zoran’s coven. The Cullens then realized that one of their family members Tiffany isn’t with them who took off thinking Jalen and his friends are with Zoran’s coven and took off hoping to get their attention. Jalen takes off and found Tiffany, still running from him, with his tracking sense and realized that Tiffany is the same person he grew up with before he ran away. Jalen catches up to Tiffany and reveals himself to her by kissing Tiffany and they were reunited.
After hearing how Tiffany’s been doing, Jalen tells her what has happened to him since they last saw each other and how he and his coven think of humans because of how they were treated before they became vampires. Tiffany shows Jalen that not all humans are bad and shows him that by meeting some kind humans along with giving Jalen the experience he missed when he ran away. During that, Jalen slowly sees the light of humans but still has some doubt. After being shown the experience, Jalen brings Tiffany to the place where he and his coven live. Jalen then starts experiencing his first kiss with Tiffany until they were interrupted by the Cullens and his coven. The only person who was not pleased about this apart from Ariana was Mordecai leading a heated argument between him and Jalen resulting Jalen to leave with Tiffany behind. Outside the coven’s home, Jalen was watching Tiffany skipping stones until Carlisle Cullen came to tell Jalen that Mordecai is willing to help him and his family to the airport to go home in Forks, including Tiffany. Jalen is hurt that Tiffany will have to leave and also mad that Carlisle says that Jalen has to let Tiffany go since their lives are different due to how humans treat them. Before Jalen could decide, he picked up from his tracking senses that Steve and Spike are coming and runs back inside only to have realized that he left Tiffany behind. Tiffany was distracted until she caught Steve and Spike's scent and got out of the way just in time when Spike launched a net on her. Tiffany started running with Steve and Spike after her in their van. As the two went after Tiffany, Ariana and Alice Cullen developed a plan to make Steve and Spike believe that they were hallucinating the whole time. Jalen joined Eden and Cameron with Edward Cullen, Jasper Hale, Krystal Diamond and Tiffany’s half-human half-vampire daughter Lucina Stewart as they met up with Tiffany quickly filling her in on the plan before Steve and Spike showed up. They posed as humans to the two telling them that anyone who accuses humans of mythical creatures will pay the price with the others posing as ‘back from the dead’ causing Steve and Spike to drive off in fear convinced that vampires don't exist. After the celebration though, Jalen told Tiffany that what's going on between them won't work (only that Jalen wanted what’s best for her) and Tiffany took off heartbroken. While everyone went off to find her, Jalen stayed being unable to face Tiffany if he finds her easily because of gift. He also experiences the feeling after Tiffany left for what Jalen said. He was then confronted by Lucas Stone who knows the reason why Jalen said the things to Tiffany and knows that Jalen is in love with Tiffany and he tells Jalen that he needs to do what's best for her and him leaving Jalen much to think about.
Later at night after the Cullens were unsuccessful at finding Tiffany without Jalen’s help, Mordecai urges the Cullens that they have to go now before their flight leaves. Jalen gave the Cullens a silent goodbye before they left. The next day after thinking about what Lucas said, Jalen realized that he is indeed in love with Tiffany but is unsure what to do now thinking that it’s too late until Mordecai came back after showing the Cullens the way to the airport and told Jalen that whatever he chooses, Mordecai will support him. After telling Ariana, who thought that what Jalen said to Tiffany believing Jalen has return his feelings to her, that he doesn’t feel the same for Ariana, Jalen said goodbye and left his coven and took a flight to Forks, Washington. Before he did, Jalen changed his diet to animal blood after feeding off of humans for so long since after he transformed. He finds Tiffany after he arrives and confesses his love for her who happily returns her feelings to him. The two met up with the Cullens at the main house where Jalen explains his reason for being here; apart from confessing his love for Tiffany, he wants to join their coven to start over his life. The Cullens accepted Jalen into the family and welcomed him with open arms. Tiffany introduces Jalen to her daughter and Lucina happily welcomes him allowing Jalen to communicate with her mentally. After that, Jalen goes with Tiffany and Lucina to their cottage where they tucked Lucina in bed. Tiffany shows Jalen her place until they arrived at Tiffany’s room where they made love in the end of the story.
Have A Purpose
Jalen getting married.
"Now that I have finished my education and about to take the next step, I know I'm making the right choices. I know I screwed up in the past but that's over. It's all water under the bridge. I've learned my mistakes and now I'm about to start a life with my family who I want to thank them for giving me this life.”"
- ―Jalen
Jalen adapts to a bigger role in the story as he mostly narrates it. A few months after the last story, Jalen marries Tiffany and adopts Lucina as his daughter. The married couple spent their honeymoon in Japan. The two of them returned home two weeks later where Tiffany started chasing after Alice for sneaking hot lingerie in Tiffany’s luggage. While that happened, Jalen hears that his ‘crime’ is still going on and the Cullens are willing to help find Elena to clear his name.
Jalen back in school.
In October, Jalen attends North Central High with the Cullens and Lucina who will be starting her first ever day at school where Jalen is hoping to complete his education and find his purpose in life is. Jalen sees that students at the school are disrespectful to others below them and are already putting down him and the Cullens as new kids. Jalen attends his first class with Mrs. Pennington for English. He then meets Bryce Summers in his calculus class who lives in a happier foster home than Jalen had before. He meets The Big Five; Orion Stern, Mitch Nystrom, Ariel Watson, Falkner Byron and Sierra Wheeler, a group of popular students who mistreats students the worst who failed to intimidate him. After they left, Bryce met Lucina who both fall in love with each other, much to Jalen’s annoyance. On Jalen’s second day of school, Jalen gets invited to sit with Bryce and his friends, Colton Dunbar and Amber Sharp. He joins them and met up with Lucina and her new friends until Orion comes in and approaches Lucina showing that he’s attracted to her. However, Lucina feels uncomfortable with Orion both making Bryce and mostly Jalen angry. After Bryce gets Lucina out of Orion’s arms, Jalen ends up in a fight with Orion only Jalen didn’t fight back and avoided Orion’s punches causing him to fall down. However, the principal, Mr. Bitters, sends Jalen to his office even though he saw it all siding with Orion. Jalen was about to get punished until Mrs. Pennington bails him out. According to Jasper, Mrs. Pennington shows to care deeply for Jalen for some reason and Jalen is unsure why but accepts his teacher’s kindness as she continues being there for Jalen. Jalen’s actions made an impact on the students who gets picked on and are starting to stand up for themselves, at least online according to Bryce.
During the story, the Cullens meet Jemma who has no one with her. While everyone notices that she has no scent, Jalen received a hit to his mind when he tried to pick up Jemma’s but they decided that for now they let her stay at their home. One night when Lucina came back from her first date with Bryce, the Cullens found out that Jemma disappeared. After searching for Jemma, all everyone could find was a scent Bella Swan and Edward picked up and they hear from Alice that something is about to happen to the Volturi. Later, they meet a nomad name Raymundo who was curious about their lifestyle. During that, Raymundo was collecting information from everyone when he looked into their eyes and left afterwards.
On Christmas Eve, Bryce's family joins Jacob and the Cullens at their place to celebrate the holidays. During that, Bryce has an asthma attack and was taken to the operation room with Jacob Black, Lucas, Edward, Jasper, Carlisle, Jalen and Lucina. After failing to help Bryce and with moments to live, Jalen agrees with everyone that Bryce should be changed and Jalen volunteered to change Bryce. Jalen changes Bryce successfully and Bryce woke up three days later knowing about the world he lives in and becomes a part of the family.
Jalen continues going to school where he is excelling in his classes but is still unsure what to do after he graduates. He was then called by The Big Five to meet with Orion. He reveals that he suspects something about the Cullens receiving information from Falkner on how they graduate numerous times from high school and college and about Jalen’s ‘crime’ (still unable to find Elena). Orion tells Jalen that he will keep things quiet and to not tell anyone including the Cullens if he breaks up Bryce and Lucina so that Orion can take Lucina to the prom. Giving some time, Jalen takes a moment on what to do. Not wanting the Cullens to blame him for putting them in a situation after everything they’ve done for him, Jalen (by Orion’s orders) kept it hidden by asking Lucas to give Jalen his aura to avoid being figured out by Edward and Alice. That night, Jalen tries to go into Orion’s house in the middle of the night and destroy the evidence only Orion saw it coming giving Jalen no choice but to end Bryce and Lucina’s relationship.
The next day, Jalen snuck Bryce’s journal into his bag while Bryce was heading back from his hunt. After Bryce panics arriving at school seeing his journal in his bag, he put it in his locker and Jalen took it out. Jalen then calls Bryce pretending to be someone else saying that Bryce must breakup with Lucina or else he will reveal his journal that contains his mention about the Cullens as vampires. After quickly putting the journal back in Bryce’s locker, Jalen hears that Bryce has broken up with Lucina and has overheard Orion asking Lucina to go to prom with him just as friends which she reluctantly agrees to. After Lucina left, Jalen has been confirmed by Orion that he will not tell anyone about his suspicions. However unaware to Jalen, Orion lied; he plans to have Jalen, the Cullens and Jacob arrested on prom night but Lucina will be spared with Orion defending her after he drugs her from their post-prom mating activities.
Jalen at prom.
On prom night, Jalen goes with the Cullens with Jalen having no date since Tiffany will be chaperoning when they are suppose to pose as step siblings. Jalen sees Bryce, also with no date, feeling sad and hurt that Lucina is with Orion thus making Jalen feel guilty. Jalen was then confronted by Lucas, Alice and Edward who suspects something’s going on. Jalen gives Lucas his aura back letting them know what he did and what he knows as he went over and stops Orion when he was about to kiss Lucina. Jalen takes Lucina over to Bryce confessing what he did. The two forgave Jalen and reconcile their relationship as they dance together making Jalen happy. However, Orion was not pleased and called the police (having to do so either way) and had Jalen and his family arrested. Jalen was about to get handcuffed after being on the run for so long when Mrs. Pennington’s husband, Asher Pennington, stops them. The cops immediately released the Cullens and Jacob however, Jalen is still being held due to the crime he was framed for until Mrs. Pennington revealed herself as Jalen’s foster sister Elena and helped cleared his name also reuniting the two together. During that, some of the adults who are chaperoning recognizes Jalen during his time on the run and were expressing their gratitude to him for his actions much to Jalen’s shock and the entire school showed their respect for him. Orion however was in disbelief with the outcome and tries to tell everyone about the Cullens until the files he had for evidence were destroyed (by Edward) and Falkner lost the data and is unable to hack in (by Lucas). After Elena busted Orion for blackmailing Jalen, Lucina stomps on Orion’s foot and Bryce punches him only Bryce gets in trouble with Mr. Bitters along with Jalen and Elena until the superintendent Ted Turner (called by Alice) came and is outraged not only of tonight’s events but with the actions that has happened at the school led by the principal and Orion and his friends leading into serious trouble with them and has failed to do a thing letting them get away with it.
After having Jalen's named cleared and getting Orion and his friends and Mr. Bitters in trouble, the Cullens received a letter from the Volturi offering them job positions since the execution of Aro, Caius and many others that were taking down by the Romanian coven along with Jemma, Raymundo and Robyn who copied his gift. After much negotiation, the Cullens agreed to be the new Volturi while still living their lives with humans where Jalen will take Demetri’s place as the sole tracker. After the trip to Volterra, Elena found out that she’s pregnant and Jalen has been appointed as godfather.
At the end of the story, Jalen graduates with Bryce and Emmett Cullen, Jasper and Rosalie Hale and celebrates it at their home. Jalen has decided to attend at his parent’s alma mater studying at the University of Washington to study business management and graphic design hoping to take over his parent’s company one day. Jalen reunites with his old coven who is now living with the Denalis due to Mordecai being Tanya’s mate as well as changing their diet to animal blood like Jalen. During that, Jalen sees his parents for the first since their death. They came to say how proud they are of Jalen and that they will always be there for him. At the end of the party, Elena took a picture of the family. They did so and everyone sees the photo admiring in amazement knowing that the photo will be with them forever.
A Christmas Surprise
"We were told to join you guys so that they can fill us in."
- ―Jalen
Six months since the previous story, Jalen starts attending college. The Cullens with the addition of Evan and Sarah Black, who are Jacob and Renesmee Cullen’s kids, celebrate Christmas along with Charlie Swan, Sue Clearwater, the pack, Renee Dwyer, Bryce's family, Asher, Elena and their daughter Melissa Pennington and Gwen, Hayden and Sam Stewart who came to surprise Tiffany. Jalen got to meet them after so long now that he’s part of the family as their in-law.
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.
Jalen participates by telling the events that has happened in the past along with telling his background story while also telling about the history of how he and his old coven came together and what they did before.
Fourteen Years Later
"I will literally break your neck!"
- ―Jalen to Bryce on Lucina’s pregnancy
Jalen continues studying at college. During his second year, Jalen went to fill up the gas for his car when he ran into Orion at the gas station. Orion says that he lost everything having to not been accepted to any schools after he repeated his senior year in school after the hidden reports by Mr. Bitters were on his permanent record and everyone were disrespecting him along with not being eligible to run his family’s company, being disowned by them and losing Lucina and blames it all on Jalen causing him to snap. Jalen made Orion open his eyes harshly by stating the reasons why those things happened to Orion and left him there. However, Jalen felt bad for Orion. That night, Jalen, still feeling guilty and wants to get it off his back, calls his parent’s company to give a job for Orion. The next day, Jalen finds Orion and tells him that he’ll be working at Jalen’s company as a janitor and booked him a motel to stay along with giving him clothes, money and other essentials while covering his rent until Orion gets on his feet. Jalen’s reason for doing this is his way of saying thanks, in a way, for bringing Jalen back together with Elena.
Two years later, Lucina finishes high school and starts attending college with Jalen and Bryce. Bryce comes to Jalen for his blessing to marry Lucina. Jalen feels uncertain to do so stating he doesn’t what to lose Lucina so soon but gives his blessing to Bryce in the end however Bryce has to ask Tiffany for hers (unbeknownst to Jalen that Bryce had already asked her before coming to him). Bryce proposes to Lucina and the two of them were engaged later getting married with Jalen walking Lucina down the aisle. Two weeks later after returning from their honeymoon, Lucina finds out that she is pregnant thus making Jalen attack Bryce. Jalen just finished his final quarter in college when Lucina went into labor and gave birth to her son Lucien Summers. Jalen arrives and meets his grandson along with the rest of the family.
Five years later Jalen started working at his family’s company. Lucien starts school like the other Cullens when they moved to Montana. He meets a human girl name Kourtney Collier and the two became friends later meeting Skai, a half-human half-vampire. The Cullens meet Skai and learns about him as he learns about them and he's been with them since although he never lives with them despite the offer. Two weeks after that, Kourtney found out about the supernatural when she overheard Lucien and Skai of their conversation.
Skai developed an idea for the world when he finds out the Cullens became the new Volturi. He believes they have the power to make a difference. With their gifts, they would be the most powerful coven to have ever existed. When Jalen and the Cullens told Lucien about it, he refused to believe them siding with Skai and ran away.
Jalen told Lucas where Lucien is from his tracking sense and Lucas took off to find him until they both got ambushed by Skai and Kourtney with Skai taking Lucas's gift with his absorbing ability and took off with Kourtney. After Lucas regained himself, he, Jalen and the Cullens found Skai who was attempting to kill Lucien, but was stopped by them with Lucas taking his gift back from Skai. Kourtney was dead when they arrived caused by Skai shooting Lucas's aura sphere and Skai escaped swearing revenge on Lucien and they haven't seen him since.
Long Live Life
"IL Mieti-huh Capa-what now?"
- ―Jalen on IL Mietitore Capacità
Six years since the event, Jalen now owns Long Corporation. Jalen and the Cullens see how depressed Lucien is since losing his friends. Jalen was then told about Lucien developing feelings for a human girl name Luna Snow. During the story, the Cullens were ambushed by metal vampires, gifted ones that are alive and dead where Jalen recognizes members of Zoran’s coven as one of them.

"I know, I know, I look hot!"
- ―Jalen on his appearance
Jalen is noted to be extremely attracted. According to him, he inherited his looks from his father. Jalen is described to have an appearance of a hot surfer man from the movies. He has wavy dark black hair and grey eyes (inherited from his mother) when he was human with a heart shape face, also from his mother.

When he is thirsty, his eyes turn the darkest shade of black. Jalen stands at 6’1” with a body being frozen at age twenty.
He is often seen wearing leather jackets.
Personality and traits
"I'm just that awesome. Just saying."
- ―Jalen
After his transformation, Jalen believed that humans aren’t kind to others except for those they believe are more important due to how he was treated after the lost of his parents which is why he kills humans who are hurting others believing he is doing justice and is also a bit hostile towards them. However since reuniting with Tiffany and meeting the Cullens, Jalen sees that not all humans are bad seeing the light in them thus changing his ways and beliefs about them. Despite how he believes about humans before, Jalen would still help those in need of help not caring to receive appreciation.
Apart from that, Jalen is kind and very loyal to the people he cares about including his old coven and the Cullens. He is also protective as seen when he cares for Elena when they were kids and also to Lucina. Jalen has a kind heart when he puts others before him as seen when he tries to stop Orion from exposing the Cullen’s secret by himself and when saying that their lives are more important than his own. He even helped Orion to get back on his feet despite their hatred to each other. Throughout the series, Jalen is known to be a bragger whenever he has the chance to show off his skills or how awesome he is which annoys Tiffany.
Jalen owns his family’s company having to be good with computers. He received his degrees in business management and graphic design using them to create ideas for gaming and amusement parks. He drives a black-grey Acura after received his fortune from his parent’s will.
Powers and abilities
"Please, I'm the fastest one in this coven."
- ―Jalen
Jalen was the fastest member of his old coven before joining the Cullens. Now he is the third fastest member behind Edward and Krystal who is the fastest in the coven. Like all vampires, he has sharp senses, superhuman strength, endurance, healing factor, and agility. He is also seen as a skilled fighter with his gift to track people by acting before they react. After changing diets, Jalen is able to have good control of his thirst whenever he’s around humans.
Tracking sense
Jalen getting ready to find someone with his tracking sense.
"With his tracking senses, no one can outrun him! He's unstoppable!"
- ―William on Jalen’s gift
Jalen’s gift is to track people marking him as a tracker like James, Demetri and Alistair. His gift is a combination of all three of them. Like Demetri, Jalen can track the person once he catches the ‘essence’ of the person’s mind on the first encounter and uses it to follow his targets until he finds them. No matter where his targets escape to, he can find them anywhere and like Demetri, Jalen can’t track Bella and Lucina’s minds due to their shields. He can’t track Jemma due to her gift being untrackable. When Jalen reunited with Tiffany finding her, Jalen picked up her mind being familiar with it with his gift. The same with Elena when Jalen started school. This indicates that Jalen can track people he met in the past although it does take awhile for Jalen to recognize it. Like James, Jalen can anticipate his opponent’s moves. The more familiar Jalen is to the person’s mind, the more access Jalen has to know where the person tries to run to. Jalen’s tracking skills can help him act before his opponents can react. Like Alistair, Jalen can feel the ‘essence’ of the person’s mind that comes in his direction giving him a warning incase Jalen needs to escape.
As a human during his time on the run, Jalen has been able to know the streets at the palm of his hands as well as the people around him which helps him whenever he needs to sneak in to steal food as well as avoiding the cops which later gets developed to track people. Bella states that if the Volturi ever heard of him, they would become even more powerful. This implies that Jalen is the most powerful tracker in the world, more superior than Demetri taking his place when the Cullens became the new Volturi.

- ―Jalen on William

William was about to be shot by some business men who bought the church until Jalen and the others came in and killed the men.

After meeting the Cullens, Jalen decided to leave his old coven and join the Cullens which William supports him to do.

Orion Stern
Jalen's enemy: Orion Stern.
"Don't you dare turn your back on me, Long!"
"Oh no Orion, perhaps you shouldn't turn your back on me. So I'll give you one last warning; stay away from Lucina and don't you mess with me and my family because we're the kind of people who you shouldn't underestimate."
- ―Orion and Jalen
Orion Stern is a member of The Big Five, a group of popular students who mistreat others.
The two met when Jalen started attending North Central High where Jalen was not intimidated by Orion and his friends. The two soon shown to hate each other due to Jalen seeing how Orion mistreats others with no respect except for those who do and mostly when Orion is attracted to Lucina making inappropriate movements to her and Jalen does his best to control himself from killing Orion to avoid breaking the treaty with the wolves.
Orion suspects something about the Cullens and mostly Jalen seeing that there’s ‘something shady’ about him. He then finds out that the Cullens have graduated numerous times including college and on Jalen’s crime he was framed for. Seeing this as a chance to be with Lucina, Orion blackmails Jalen to break up Lucina and Bryce so that he can ask Lucina to the prom or risk the exposure. If Jalen does this, then Orion won’t say anything. Jalen did so but Orion lies and does it having to call the police, even if Jalen hadn’t stopped Orion attempting to kiss Lucina, only to be stopped by Asher. The Cullens know about Orion’s plans and got him in trouble with the superintendent for getting away with mistreatment and got him expelled.
In Long Live Life, Jalen runs into Orion again. He blames Jalen for how his life went downhill causing Jalen to snap and forced Orion to take a good look at himself. Jalen however felt bad for Orion and as thanks for reuniting with Elena, Jalen got Orion a job at his family’s company as a janitor although the workers there would give Orion a hard time. It is unsure if Orion’s hatred to Jalen went away.
