Jasper Hale is a fictional character in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series
According to Stephenie Meyer, Jacob was originally meant to be a device through which Bella could learn Edward's secret in Twilight. Meyer, her agent, and her editor all liked the character so much that they decided to give him a larger role in the following book, New Moon, with Meyer calling the character, "my favori gift that New Moon gave to me."[
