Blade forms an uneasy alliance with the vampire council in order to combat the Reapers, who are feeding on vampires.
Blade II recap
In Prague, Blade finds Whistler, who was turned into a vampire and held prisoner for two years, and cures him. A new strain is turning vampires into Reapers, mutants immune to most vampire weaknesses except UV light, and the vampire overlord Eli Damaskinos sends his daughter Nyssa to ask Blade for a truce. Blade joins the Bloodpack, an elite vampire squad trained to kill him, and plants an explosive on the head of its loudest member, Reinhardt. The first Reaper, Jared Nomak, offers Blade a place at his side and is refused. The team raids the Reaper nest in the sewers at dawn, and most of the Bloodpack is killed before Blade sets off a UV bomb.
Blade II ending explained
Damaskinos captures Blade and reveals the Reapers are his own experiment and Nomak is his son. Scud, Blade's new technician, turns out to be Damaskinos's familiar, and Blade kills him with the explosive he swapped in. A blood pool restores Blade's strength and he kills Reinhardt. Nyssa turns on her father, Nomak kills Damaskinos and bites her, and Blade stabs Nomak through the heart. Blade carries Nyssa out to die in the sunrise, and later kills a vampire in London.
