Laurent is a nasty, manipulative vamp who travels as a nomad with James and Victoria.

He's played by Edi Gathegi in Twilight and New Moon, though - spoiler alert for those who haven't read the books - the character doesn't make it much further.

Gathegi himself is glad that while shooting New Moon he was able to change one significant part of his wardrobe. " "In "Twilight' we didn't have shoes, because in the book they don't have shoes — you know, nomadic vampires don't have shoes. And I was cold, I was froze to death! But Chris was like, 'Well, wear shoes.'"
