Blade also has a healing factor, but this does not slow his aging. Unlike the rest of the vampire community, he can walk in sunlight, although it causes him some discomfort and he must wear sunglasses. Due to this rare ability, he is known as the Daywalker. He is a master of martial arts and his friend Whistler helps him in his quest. This comrade-in-arms has created for Blade an arsenal of weapons ranging from his acid-etched titanium sword and glaive to a MAC-10 automatic pistol. Blade can speak Czech, Russian, and of course the vampire language.
Blade remains committed to his mission: rid the world of all vampires.
