Blade: The Series

Immortal warrior Blade (series star KIRK "STICKY" JONES) sets up shop in Detroit with his partner Shen (series star NELSON LEE) and investigates the vampire House of Chthon who are threatening total domination of mankind. Along the way, he forms an uneasy alliance with Krista Starr (series star JILL WAGNER), a recently dispatched US military combat medic who becomes entrenched in the world of vampires while investigating the suspicious murder of her twin brother.As Krista is pulled into the underworld, she teams up with Blade and Shen to infiltrate the vampires from the inside and out. Blade, however, must keep a close watch on Krista, who could easily succumb to the dark forces of the shadow world she now inhabits.

When Marcus (series star NEIL JACKSON) keeps Krista from leaving the House of Chthon, she is forced to make her way without the help of Blade or Shen. With Krista unavailable to him, Blade seeks proof of Marcus' vaccine through Reverend Carlyle (William MacDonald -- "Hollow Man 2," "Slither"), a link to the "asher" community. Marcus explains the rules of all the Houses to Krista.

Blade pursues a contact in the House of Armaya (Ryan Robbins -- "Stargate: Atlantis," "Supernatural") who has information on Marcus' experiments. Krista accompanies Chase (series star JESSICA GOWER) to an AA meeting for an unexpected meal. Krista tells Blade about the vaccine called Aurora and agrees to procure a sample. FBI Agent Ray Collin's (Larry Poindexter -- "CSI: NY," "Nip/Tuck") investigation of the murder of trooper Hirsch leads him to Detective Boone (Bill Mondy -- "The Dead Zone," "Reunion"), a cop turned vampire.

Blade pays a visit to suspicious gynecologist Dr. Vonner (Andrew McIlroy -- "The 4400"), who shoots himself upon Blade's arrival. Reverend Carlyle sets Blade up to get captured by the "Bad Bloods," disenfranchised vampires Blade turned and who were once his childhood friends. Chase takes Krista to the House of Leichen for a blood ritual that will help them track Boone, the former detective she turned. The Bad Bloods kill Carlyle and offer Blade to Marcus in exchange for a seat in the House of Chthon.

Boone continues his killing rampage and pays a visit to Damek at the House of Armaya. Krista learns Boone's whereabouts through her A.D.E. and rescues his hostage Patricia (Jenn Bird -- "Stargate: Atlantis"). Charlotte (Emily Hurst), the diminutive head of Chthon, confronts Marcus about Aurora. Chase attacks and presumably kills Boone, so Marcus sends her to Berlin to find a pregnant patient. Blade also travels to Berlin to get to the pregnant patient, Vanessa (Sonja Bennett -- "The Dead Zone," "Stargate: Atlantis"), but Chase and other Familiars get to her first. Blade kidnaps Vanessa and blows up the Institute. Marcus catches Krista trying to steal the vaccine--and tells her it doesn't work.

Krista runs into Uncle Pat (Don Thompson -- "Supernatural," "Smallville") at a gala with Marcus and learns her mother has leukemia. Blade takes a captive Vanessa to Paris, fending off vampires eager to get her back. Hot on Boone's trail, Special Agent Collins visits a wounded Patricia. Charlotte demands Marcus meet with Damek from the Armayan House, who wants in on Aurora. With Chase injured, Marcus sends Krista and Jakob to get Vanessa back from Blade. Dr. Lambert's examination of Vanessa shows she isn't actually carrying a baby but an ominous unknown fluid.

While investigating the virus that had been implanted in Vanessa, Blade learns about the murder of Flannigan, a cop who helped care for him when he was a child. In a flashback, Blade's backstory reveals that the former Eric Brooks ended up in the hands of Whistler when his father, and a kind nurse named Viola, were no longer able to control "Eric's" need to feed. Krista takes drastic measures to save her mother. Marcus sends Chase to Vegas on a business errand. When someone from Blade's childhood is murdered, Blade has to stop the assailant before he can harm Viola.

Krista's newly turned mother escapes from the hospital. In Las Vegas, Chase meets up with old flame Alex, a wealthy Pure Blood who encourages her to leave Marcus. Blade and Krista try to track down Krista's mother to get her on the serum that can keep her from killing. Detective Collins meets with Marcus to inquire about Boone. Alex is in for an unfortunate surprise when Chase takes him to Chthon.

Despondent over recent tragic events, Krista goes on a bender and becomes unavailable to both Marcus and Blade. Blade learns that the liquid taken from Vanessa is part of Marcus' plot to extinguish the Pure Bloods. Marcus forces Krista to relive his ADE and, in a flashback, learns of the tragedy that befell him and his wife. Damek pays Marcus a visit, demanding priority access to Aurora.

Blade and Shen learn about the resurgence of the White Prince (Scott Heindl -- "Blade: Trinity," "I, Robot"), an infamous vampire serial killer who they think is working out of a Detroit nightclub. After feeding on Marcus, Blade forces Krista into isolated detox. Charlotte invites Chase for a visit and makes her a proposition.

Blade and Detective Collins team up to track down pure blood Charlotte. Marcus makes plans to present his experiment at the Pure Blood conclave.

Blade and Shen stake out the Pure Blood conclave to make sure Marcus's plan comes to fruition.
