Sam Uley is one of the Quileute Native Americans on the La Push reservation, near the small town of Forks.Sam was born in 1986 in La Push, Washington. Sam's father, Joshua Uley abandoned the family when he was very young, and he was forced to grow up quickly to help support his family. As a result, Sam hated his father so much that if he was mentioned - even by accident - he would get so angry that he would phase into his wolf form.Sam is described as tall, with black hair and brown eyes. In his wolf form, Sam has black fur and is described as being as tall as a horse but more muscular with dagger like incisors.Sam was the first in this generation to phase into wolf form, a change that occurred because the Cullen family moved back to Forks. Sam left behind all dreams for the future, including a college scholarship to stay on the reservation and become its protector. The first time he met Bella Swan, he alluded to the Cullens not being welcome at First Beach. A statement that was later clarified by her childhood friend, Jacob Black.As the danger surrounding the reservation grows and more of the youth become wolves, Sam helped them each accept and adapt to their new lives as protectors of the tribe. When Jacob phased into wolf form for the first time, Sam offered him the opportunity of becoming Alpha wolf, but Jacob refused.When Sam wanted to kill Bella and her unborn child, Jacob left Sam's pack and took his place as rightful Alpha by forming his own pack with Seth and Leah Clearwater and guarding the Cullens after imprinting on Renesmee.Sam imprinted on and is currently engaged to Emily Young, the cousin of Leah Clearwater, and his ex-girlfriend. The scars etched across Emily's face and arm are the direct result of being too close to Sam when he phased into his wolf form during a fight. Emily forgave Sam, but he never forgave himself. Since then, he makes it up to her by showering her with love and affection. Show less «
