The vampires in the Amazon, Egyptian, Irish and Romanian covens as well as the American and European nomads for 'The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn' have officially got the actors to portray them.

Lee Pace and a number of other actors have joined Robert Pattinson in the cast ensemble of "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn". Weeks after the casting of Benjamin and the Denali coven were made public, Summit Entertainment announced the casting of the vampires that make up the American and European nomads as well as the Amazon, Egyptian, Irish Coven and Romanian coven.

The American nomads consist of Garrett, Mary, Randall, Peter and Charlotte. Garrett, in particular, is among Carlisle's closest and oldest friends, and will be portrayed by "Pushing Daisies" star Lee Pace. Meanwhile, Toni Trucks will star as Mary, Bill Tangradi as Randall, Erik Odom as Peter and Valorie Curry as Charlotte.

The European nomads will be represented by Alistair. The character who has been described as a misanthropic, brooding personality and a deep mistrust of all authority will be tackled by Joe Anderson. Alistair counts Carlisle as his closest acquaintance although he doesn't visit more than once a century.

Moving on to the casting of the coven, the Amazon coven are a long-time allies of Carlisle and are among the oldest vampires in the world. They have lived outside of civilization for centuries and make no attempt to keep up a human facade. Tracey Heggins will play Senna, while Judi Shekoni will star as Zafrina.

Led by Amun, the Egyptian coven are comprised of Kebi, Benjamin and as Tia. It is explained that although they are not a biological family, but they could pass for one. Omar Metwally has been set to star as Amun, Andrea Gabriel as Kebi, Rami Malek as Benjamin and Angela Sarafyan as Tia.

The Irish coven are a relatively young group, who are not vegetarian but civilized. Siobhan and Liam are the founder, but Maggie plays an important part to the coven because of her talent. Lisa Howard and Patrick Brennan will be seen filling the shoes of Siobhan and Liam, while Marlene Barnes will portray Maggie.

The last coven is the Romanian. Comprising of Vladimir and Stefan, they are one of the oldest covens in the world and harbor centuries of resentment against the Volturi after they were unseated by the Italian vampire. Portraying Vladimir and Stefan in respective order are Noel Fisher and Guri Weinberg.

"The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn" itself will be made into two separate films, "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part I" and "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part II". Summit has scheduled for "Part I" to be released in U.S. theater on November 18, 2011, and "Part II" to follow in the next year on November 16, 2012.
