Biography[]

Blade[]

Frost's goal is to bring glory and dominance to the vampire race by reviving the vampiric blood god known La Magra, using Blade's blood in a special ritual. Frost believes that the world belongs to the Hominus Nocturna and not the humans, as he sees the human race as nothing but food. He leads and represents a renegade faction of fellow vampires who believe the vampires deserve to rule the world, and Frost constantly searches for Blade in an attempt to take his blood and use it to revive the god. The vampire Shadow Council, including Dragonetti, disagree with Frost's ideology but Frost ends up killing Dragonetti by exposing him to the morning sun.

Eventually, Frost succeeds in capturing Blade and adopts tremendous powers from the vampire god, but Blade manages to break free from his captors and fights Frost in the middle of the temple. After an intense sword fight, Blade dismembers Frost but his newfound powers allow his body to reattach itself as well as to regenerate any lost limbs. Despite this, Blade manages to kill Frost by injecting him with several vials of EDTA, a liquid that reacts explosively with vampire blood. Frost roars in agony as his entire body swells up and explodes, spraying blood across the temple floor.

Blade II[]

Years later, during Blade's conflict with Jared Nomak, Eli Damaskinos and his attorney thanked Blade for killing Frost, indicating that Frost was understandably not very liked by most of the vampire community outside of his gang.

Personality[]

Frost is a cold-hearted and sad*stic sociopath who shows no mercy for human life. He decides to kill his familiar, Officer Krieger, after the cop falls for a trap set by Blade. Frost is exceptionally sexual, even towards Dragonetti. He has several lovers, including Mercury and Vanessa Brooks. Frost is close to Quinn, and even pretends to attempt to cut off Quinn's hand simply as a gag between the two friends. But it has been rumored that Deacon and Quinn were once lovers ages ago. Deacon Frost is of average height, though many of his allies tower above him, and is extremely fit and agile. He possesses extreme fighting abilities and is extremely strong as he is a vampire.

Powers and Abilities[]

• Vampirism: Vampirism is the physiological act of becoming and/or turning another human being into a vampire. Despite its roots in European folklore, vampirism exists in nature, and there are many such creatures who are actually born as vampires. Pathologically, vampirism is likened to a virus, carried in the saliva of predators. The vampire enzyme is carried through a victim's bloodstream and within seventy-two hours, mutates the subject's physiology, creating new parasitic organs. It has been described as "cancer with a purpose".
  • Biological Immortality: Vampires are essentially invulnerable to most forms of bodily harm, including the effects of the disease, and the natural cellular mitosis that comes with aging. Vampires are not living creatures, and as such, they do not require oxygen to breathe. Vampires can exist without undue stress in oxygen-free environments such as being submerged underwater or buried beneath the earth.
    • Pureblood vampires will age into adulthood, while turned vampires maintain the physical form they had when they were still human. Theoretically, a vampire can live forever providing that it is not destroyed.
  • Protractile Fangs/Claws: Vampires possess adapted musculature around the canine teeth that can extend these to become fangs. Similarly, they can also extend their fingernails to claw-like proportions.
  • Superhuman Strength: Most vampires possess superhuman physical strength is more developed than a human being's strength. The vast majority of known and recorded vampires are capable of lifting from one thousand to four thousand pounds. A vampire's enhanced strength also enables them to perform other superhuman feats such as leaping great distances. Supplementing their strength, vampires are naturally heartier than normal humans and can withstand severe physical exertion with no ill effects. It is unknown if vampire strength levels differ between purebloods and turned vampires.
  • Superhuman Durability: As a vampire Frost is capable of enduring more physical trauma than the finest human athlete. Excessive force will cause physical damage to a vampire, but their bodies will regenerate damaged tissue providing they can supplement themselves with regular supplies of blood. However, their bodies will not regenerate from lethal damage or damage by silver weaponry and sunlight.
  • Superhuman Reflexes: A vampire's reflexes, agility, and reaction time are many times greater than a normal human being. At maximum optimal capacity, a vampire-like Deacon Frost can move more quickly than the human eye can perceive.
• Supernatural Empowerment: As the Avatar of La Magra, the Patron deity of the Vampires, Deacon Frost possessed several new supernatural abilities. So far he had only displayed some of these abilities;
  • Regenerative Healing Factor: As an Avatar of La Magra, he possesses immensely powerful regenerative abilities that made him almost impossible to defeat or harm. He was able to instantaneously regenerate his arm and reattach his body after blade had sliced them off.
  • Strength Augmentation: As an Avatar of La Magra, Frost's physical strength was dramatically increased. He was able to defeat Blade, an already powerful vampire hunting Dhampir with just a few blows and incapacitate him for a while with just one physical strike.
  • Supervampiric Immunities: As an Avatar of La Magra, Frost showed a complete immunity to silver weapons and even sunlight. These are common, yet lethal, weaknesses for even the strongest of turned and pureblood vampires.
  • Speed Augmentation: His mobility was also enhanced to the point where even creatures with superhuman reflexes could not react to his attacks.
