Liam is Luke's fraternal twin, meaning they look nothing alike. In fact, Liam looks a lot more like Edward than he looks like Luke.

Liam has a history. A reputation. He's been living in the dark for a while though. He left town after Luke was arrested. He was no more evil than Luke.

A flashback comes to mind.
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDXjJmINS9
Edward: Jade! I was playing hide and seek with Liam. Join us!
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZuikKCGkt
Me: Uh, sure. Who will count?
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRBAl7lnqP
Liam: ME! Ok go hide guys! 1, 2, 3... 45678910 READYORNOT, HEREICOME!
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWfoxNBHFb
I watched him run straight up to the treehouse knowing that I was there. As he was climbing up, I had a little surprise waiting for him.

After his hand was inches from mine, I poured down a bucket of raw eggs on him. 5 whole gallons. Do you know how many eggs I needed to crack?
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazjLJUjPED
As it slipped in between every corner of his body, he started wobbling. A lot.
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUd4wRgqfB
Liam: Bitch, what did you do??
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bSIrDmODx
Edward: leave her alone! She's only 12! Here, give me a hand.
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoFXi3U5GJ
As Liam removed his icky hand from the step he was holding on to, he tried to step a little higher, but he slipped.
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswbQHuZMNl
I looked down in horror as he was falling. Closer to the ground a little bit more each time my heart pounded against my chest. Then he hit the grass with a 'thud', looking like a motionless rag doll.

In the end, he needed a prosthetic leg; when he hit the ground, his leg was banged against some construction thing; the memory is blurry. Maybe it was bricks. Or a handheld machine. I don't know. Whatever it was, the impact was big.
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3b9Dc5HoP
Later when I visited the hospital, I felt extremely guilty.
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylYgGMmvR9
Me: LIAM! I am SO so sorry! All I wanted was—
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD3Wfw2XBO
Liam: Jade, don't worry. I'll get you back. After the death of Edward, once you're defenseless, I'll make sure of something.
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNMKaNaCQM
Jade: ... What?

I stare at Liam and I'm speechless. But he’s not. "Jade! How have you been? Make any more scrambled eggs?"
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRbemYnmvf
Is he holding a grudge against me? Well, I don't blame him. "Nah, I think I've cracked enough eggs for a lifetime. How have you been? Run in any marathons lately?"
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1DT8xNDHA
Shit. Wrong thing to say. He violently grabs my arms and pushes me back, causing me to stumble and fall on top of something hard. Ah. My backpack. You know, the one containing my precious gun.
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwaUVVYAJV
"How does it feel, Jade? To fall?" He takes a step towards me.
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo3wQo7IGl
"I see you have an impeccable memory, dear Liam." That's all I can say. What else could I say?
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjp0LmEZVN
He chuckles at this. Then he speaks. "And how is your memory, my sweet Jade? Let's see. Do you remember what my last words to you were, the day in the hospital about four years ago?"
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBuyjUqtJU
"'I'll make sure you will regret everything you've ever done in your life to me.'"

"Let me explain to you everything: the whole idea of putting you through the tests you were supposed to go through was actually to your benefit. For example, you've turned into a murderer! Three men down in 24 hours! The Old Jade would never do that!
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQw2D0Fk1a
"The whole thing of you killing my brother Luke? Well I wasn't expecting that, in all honesty. But no worries! It was taken care of. I needed to get rid of him anyways. And then—"
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvF14L2xdW
"You're a sociopath," I interrupt.
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTXJFxIt47
He tilts his head, looking beyond me, considering this. "I suppose I am. And I could just kill you right now, couldn't I?" He smiles evilly.
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpwmjUH8hA
"What do you want?! Why DID you put me through this? Why Lawrence? Why me?" I ask frantically, remembering that Lawrence is waiting on me.
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAzqrFfUPw
"Payback. Payback. For the love of this world, I wanted to— oh why am I speaking?" He picks me up, and I realized I was still on the floor. He reaches for my backpack and grabs my gun. Crap.
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TSNorDvJq
"One bullet, one life. Right Jade?" He takes a step closer to me and cocks the gun.
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxpHDPbWXa
Since this is the end, I just shut my eyes tight and try to pray to God for help, but who am I kidding? Praying to a God I don't believe in for help in a helpless situation?
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OHK1MGV0K
"Goodbye, Jade," he whispers to my face, a hint of blood in his breath.
916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQnBNlIYE0
He shoots. But I'm not dead. HE is. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bc4UZr50X
