Blade has
perhaps the most bizarre origin of all of the vampire hunters. During his labor,
Blade's mother was undergoing complications and her friends summoned a doctor of
dubious background. The doctor turned out to be the white-haired vampire known
as Deacon Frost. He feasted on Blade's mother right before Blade's birth which
resulted in Blade being immune to vampire bites. As a result of Frost's attack,
Blade's mother died but not before she gave birth to Blade. Blade was raised by
his mother's work associates until he was 9 years old. At age 9, Blade helped
save the life of vampire hunter Jamal Afari, a musician who took Blade in and
raised him as his son. Afari trained Blade as a vampire hunter as well as a
trumpet player until Dracula turned Afari. Blade was forced to kill Afari and
swore revenge on Dracula.
As a result
of the deaths of his mother and foster father, Blade traveled the world to
revenge himself against Dracula and Deacon Frost. Blade traveled the world , his
path crossing with many other vampires, including Dracula, including one
incident in which Blade and four of his friends lured Dracula into a deathtrap.
Unfortunately, some of Dracula's minions soon revived Dracula and the vampire
lord murdered most of Blade's vampire hunting friends.
Over time,
Blade met up with Quincy Harker and his band of vampire hunters. At first their
relationship was troubled at best, as Blade felt that Harker and his band were
somewhat soft. Nonetheless, Blade found himself allied with Harker at times as
his search for Deacon Frost often was sidetracked by his battles with Dracula.
After the
death of Quincy Harker's daughter Edith at the hands of Dracula, Blade helped
Harker hunt down Dracula and succeeded in killing the vampire lord.
Unfortunately, Dracula's minions rescued his corpse and the vampire lord was
eventually revived.
Blade's
search for Deacon Frost led to Blade teaming up with the vampire detective
Hannibal King. King was a former detective who had been turned into a vampire by
Deacon Frost and he too had a vendetta against Frost. Blade very reluctantly
teamed with King, and at times, it seemed as if Blade might try to kill King.
However, their partnership grew stronger as the hunt continued and over time,
Blade began to respect King, especially after King saved Blade from becoming one
of Deacon Frost's magically created vampires. Eventually, the two finally found
Frost and confronted him. Frost died in an explosion during the confrontation
and Blade could finally rest, knowing that his mother had been avenged. After
Frost's death, Blade and King went their separate ways, but they parted as
friends.
After his
battle with Frost, Blade's future seemed uncertain, his entire life had been
devoted to killing Frost, now what would he do? As he pondered his future, Blade
occasionally teamed with Harker and his band and from time to time, found
himself embroiled in battles with vampires besides Dracula.
Blade was
probably the most dangerous threat to Dracula with the possible exception of
Quincy Harker. He possessed a fierce fighting style which helped compensate for
Dracula's tremendous strength and was highly skilled with his wooden knives.
Blade has
many of a vampires abilities and powers, though he still ages like a human and
can be killed if he is badly injured.
Quote: “I'm getting a little
tired of chopping you up. Thought I might try fire for a change.”
Roleplaying Blade
Blade is very focused on his mission to destroy all the worlds vampires. He can be
emotional and if he looses his temper, the
world better step aside.
