=== Level 3 ===
Blade and Hunter meet in the Chapel of the Abbey. Blade shares that his real name is Eric Brooks, from Harlem. The last person to call him that was his mentor, Jamal Afari, who gave him the name Blade.  He reveals that Jamal was the first to see him not as a vampire but a person.  Blade says he feels Hunter sees him the same way.  
=== Level 4 ===
Blade and Hunter are in the Common Room playing a game of Hangman.  Blade comments that Hunter sucks at the game, and Hunter jokes about the irony of a Dhampir saying someone sucks. Blade confides that despite his usual dislike of people, Hunter has turned out to be one of his favorites. Blade talks about Hannibal King, who helped him to hunt down his mother's killer, Deacon Frost.  Blade also shares that he had to kill his mentor, Jamal, who had given in to his inner darkness. 
=== Level 5 ===
Blade and Hunter meet in the Yard. Blade is impressed with Hunter, saying that they showed him the way.  Blade admits that when Nico first brought Hunter back from the dead, he was sure there would be a time where he would have to hunt the Hunter. But now he realizes that his original instincts were wrong, and he will always have Hunter's back.
