 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })An American TV series that followed in the continuity of the Blade films, though without any of the main cast. Although not played by Wesley Snipes, Kirk Jones (the new actor, best known as the rapper Sticky Fingaz) is surprisingly versatile in the role. The series was short-lived, lasting only from June to September, 2006. A total of 12 episodes.The series follows an Iraq veteran, Krista Starr, as she learns about the Vampire Masquerade after her brother was killed. (No, not that one!) Eventually, in a bid to destroy the House of Chthon from the inside, she herself is converted into a vampire and must deal with her own hunger.But who cares about that? We're just here for Blade!This series also delves into the history and backstory of Blade himself, filling in the gaps the films don't explore, including introducing us to Blade's father.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Notably, the series backs off from the third movie's 'final solution' to the vampire menace, with offhand comments about how the Day Star was a mess, but was handled by the Vampire Hierarchy.

 Ancestral Weapon: The House of Chthon relic is the Sword of Lord Chthon, which, for some reason, is a katana. It actually turns out to be almost useless in a fight, as it is too old to be able to stand up to modern steel. It doesn't help that the damn thing looks rather rusted and probably hasn't been properly maintained for several centuries.It's more of a reliquary now then anything else.

 Anti-Hero: Blade has no qualms with killing every vampire he encounters and coercing their familiars into spilling the beans by threatening serious injuries upon them. To normals, his actions would appear sociopathic.
