Frost

Biodata

Background / History

Connection to Blade

Frost bit Blade’s mother, Miriam, shortly before she gave birth. Blade was consequently born half human and half vampire and later became a vampire hunter. Although Miriam was initially described as having died after childbirth, Yang Bo later revealed that she had become a vampire and remained at Frost’s house 11 30 31.

Blade and Whistler spent years investigating Frost. Their pursuit gained a concrete lead when Blade recognized Frost’s ownership mark on Officer Krieger, a human vampire familiar found at Karen’s apartment 17 31.

Takeover and Blood God Scheme

Frost became the sole leader of New York’s vampires and placed the other vampire elders under house arrest, intending to sacrifice them in a ritual to summon the Blood God. Whistler still believed him to be merely one of the city’s vampire higher-ups when Frost was captured 31.

Bor exposed the plan after being forced to betray Frost. The ritual came from a prophecy in the Book of Erebus, which called for twelve holy ones to awaken the Blood God. Blade’s blood was the essential sacrifice, making his capture alive Frost’s priority 22.

Frost knew that Blade was not the only Daywalker and that others maintained much lower profiles. After encountering Yang Bo, he regretted choosing Blade rather than one of those less conspicuous targets 29.

Conflict with Yang Bo

After Bor disclosed Frost’s location, more than a hundred vampires approached the underground archive. Yang Bo covered Blade and Karen’s escape but was killed by a grenade, then respawned. He subsequently asked Blade to take him to Frost’s building to settle the score 22 23 24.

Frost later accompanied the vampires attacking Blade’s safe house. Yang Bo’s invisibility and apparent teleportation frightened him enough to seek a compromise: he offered money, power, or a long life in exchange for Yang Bo’s withdrawal. Yang Bo refused, and Frost ordered a retreat 28 29.

Frost recognized Yang Bo as the man who had previously disappeared in the Archive Room. He did not understand the limitations of Yang Bo’s Camouflage skill and feared that an enemy capable of disappearing at will could kill him in his sleep 28.

Blade and Yang Bo pursued Frost by car. Frost survived being rammed, ordered his followers to kill both pursuers—including the previously indispensable Daywalker—and abandoned his men. He intended to leave for another city, find another Daywalker, become the Blood God, and return for revenge. The pursuers caught him while he was trying to flag down a ride 29 30.

On hearing Yang Bo call out from the approaching car, Frost collapsed to the ground and gave up trying to escape. He understood their arrival to mean that his remaining followers had been defeated 30.

Capture and Death

Yang Bo stopped Blade from killing Frost immediately because he wanted the final kill and intended to use Frost for an experiment. During the drive back, Yang Bo repeatedly reduced Frost’s recovering health from approximately 20% to 10% with an Iron Sword. At the safe house, Blade inflicted further punishment while following Yang Bo’s instruction to keep him alive 31.

Yang Bo then fed Frost a Human Heart, rapidly restoring his health to 80%, and accused him of feigning unconsciousness. By dawn, Frost had died and dropped Pure Blood 1/6; Yang Bo, Karen, and Whistler had obtained experimental data from the night’s work 31 32.

After his death, another vampire family arrived in New York. Later narration credited Blade with killing Frost, and Blade’s reputation among the city’s vampires became widespread 41 49.

Frost’s death also left Bor without the support he had previously depended on. Bor feared that no other vampire would care for him and that, if Yang Bo abandoned him, his immobility would leave him to starve 45.

Frost’s building remained a destination for subsequent vampire hunts: Yang Bo and Blade headed toward it when they resumed clearing vampires from New York, accompanied by Bor 48.

Appearance

• Light brown eyes, which widen when Yang Bo disappears while under gunfire 28.
• Visible pallor after injury: Frost becomes slightly paler after being struck by Blade’s car, but immediately gets back up 30.

Personality

Frost is ambitious and coercive. He eliminates the other vampire elders’ freedom to secure sacrifices for his ritual, while Bor fears that even turning Frost’s human follower into a vampire without permission would provoke retaliation 22 31.

His confidence collapses when faced with abilities he cannot understand. He considers Yang Bo more dangerous than Blade because an invisible enemy could attack him in his sleep. His response shifts from ordering Yang Bo’s death to bargaining, retreating, and ultimately abandoning his followers to protect himself 28 29 30.

• Yang Bo — Enemy who rejects Frost’s bargain, helps capture him, and collects his Pure Blood drop 28 30 32.
• Officer Krieger — Human familiar bearing Frost’s ownership brand. Other vampires require Frost’s permission to touch him 17.
• Bor — Vampire archivist who fears Frost’s retaliation and discloses his location and ritual plans after being forced to betray him. After Frost’s death, Bor believes he can no longer count on care from the vampires and becomes dependent on Yang Bo’s continued support 21 22 45.
• Whistler — Investigates Frost alongside Blade and identifies him as responsible for the presumed murder of Blade’s mother 31.
• New York’s vampire elders — Rival authorities whom Frost places under house arrest to use as ritual sacrifices 31.

Trivia

• Yang Bo initially suspects Frost is a Level One Vampire Baron. His interface later confirms the Baron classification, but Yang Bo still cannot determine Frost’s exact level 28 29.
• Frost’s Pure Blood 1/6 drop is described by Yang Bo as level-one pure blood, disappointing him given Frost’s role as the conflict’s final boss 32.
