Carlisle Cullen is an extremely calm and refined man. His presence conveys security and serenity even in tense situations. He rarely loses control or allows his emotions to govern his actions.
He is deeply compassionate. Unlike most vampires, Carlisle chose not to feed on humans and built his existence around the idea that human life has value. His work as a doctor is a natural extension of that philosophy: he finds joy in helping and saving lives. Carlisle possesses enormous patience. He doesn't judge people quickly and prefers to listen and understand before condemning. Even when someone makes a mistake, he tries to find a way to help them. He is the father figure to the Cullens. He doesn't rule through fear or absolute authority; his family respects him because they trust him. He is protective of them, but he also respects their freedom and choices. He is intelligent, cultured, and highly experienced. His centuries of life have given him knowledge of medicine, history, languages, and different cultures. However, he never uses his knowledge to feel superior. Although kind and peaceful, Carlisle is neither naive nor weak. When someone threatens his family or an innocent person, he can be firm and resolute. His self-control makes his anger much more subdued than explosive.
