Blade is a Dhampir, a mix between a human and a vampire. He has devoted his life to fighting off evil vampires, such as Dracula. After years of trying to locate Dracula, Blade eventually finds him in Paris. Arriving in Paris, Blade encounters Quincy Harker, a vampire hunter whom he knows by reputation. Harker's team consists of Rachel van Helsing, Taj Nital, and Frank Drake.
