Spec Op 22: Eclipse Phase

On the Eve of a rare Solar eclipse, a terrifying alliance between Demons and Vampires threatens to tear the world asunder. Splitting their forces and enlisting the aid of Blade, the Vampire hunter, can S.H.I.E.L.D. combat the forces of darkness and restore order or will this night become permanent?

Split Missions

Choose two Strike Teams of 10 for a two pronged surgical strike to combat the global threat. Led by Doctor Strange, Strike Team Expurgo will stay in New York and fight the Demonic threat. Blade will help lead Strike Team Lamia in London against the Vampire hordes. Choose carefully who to send, once you split your forces there's no turning back.

Spec Op 22 Reward Hero: Blade

Bio – Eric Brooks was born an orphan. His mother was murdered during child birth, fed upon by a vampire. This act made Eric into a Dhampir, half-man and half-vampire. Gifted with all of a vampire's gifts and none of their weaknesses except for their thirst for blood, Eric swore to avenge his mother's death and became Blade. Trained as a vampire hunter, Blade hunts the undead lords of the night and seeks to kill the Lord of the Vampires, putting them all to rest.
