What happens in Blade: Trinity from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

A cohort of vampires embarks on a mission to locate the concealed resting place of Drake, portrayed by Dominic Purcell, who is also known as Dracula and is regarded as the genetic “father” of their kind. They eventually discover him within an Iraqi Ziggurat tomb, but not before a moment of bloodlust leads him to kill one of their own. Capitalizing on Blade’s (played by Wesley Snipes) notorious reputation as a vampire killer, they deceitfully frame him for the murder of a human by making it appear he was responsible as a vampire. Amid the ensuing manhunt, the FBI tracks down Blade’s latest hideout, resulting in a siege where Abraham Whistler (portrayed by Kris Kristofferson) meets his demise, sacrificing himself to protect vital research and data.
