The story
For years, Blade has fought against the vampires in the cover of the night. But now, after falling into the crosshairs of the FBI, he is forced out into the daylight, where he is driven to join forces with a clan of human vampire hunters he never knew existed—The Nightstalkers. Together with Abigail and Hannibal, two deftly trained Nightstalkers, Blade follows a trail of blood to the ancient creature that is also hunting him—the original vampire, Dracula.
Blade: Trinity recap
Vampires led by Danica Talos raise Dracula, called Drake, from a tomb in the Syrian Desert, and frame Blade for killing a human. The FBI raids Blade's hideout, Whistler dies, and Blade is arrested. Hannibal King and Abigail Whistler, Abraham's daughter, break him out and bring him to their band of hunters, the Nightstalkers. Their scientist Sommerfield is making Daystar, a virus that kills vampires, and it needs Drake's pure blood to work. Blade finds a vampire blood farm of brain-dead humans and shuts it down, then returns to find the Nightstalkers killed and King and Sommerfield's daughter Zoe taken.
Blade: Trinity ending explained
Blade and Abigail rescue King and Zoe, and Abigail kills Asher Talos. Drake beats Blade, but Blade stabs him with the Daystar arrow, releasing the virus and killing Danica and every vampire nearby. Dying, Drake praises Blade and takes Blade's shape, so the FBI believes Blade is dead. The body on the morgue table turns back into Drake.
