Hunter’s Moon explains that vampires were one of Khonshu’s original enemies, as they attacked those who traveled at night. Khonshu’s emissaries eventually assumed responsibility for hunting vampires. Because of this history, the new devotee character of the entity rebelled and criticized the Moon Knight’s invitation to the vampire Reese to enter the Midnight Mission.
In the current Marvel chronology, Blade is not only Marvel’s primary vampire hunter, but has been named sheriff of the newly formed Vampire Nation, to watch over Dracula and his followers. Blade and the Knight have fighting vampires in common, but would the code-breaking involving Reese also be a point of conflict between the two? With the current magazine in its third edition, we wouldn’t be surprised if the half-vampire appeared in history to end that doubt.
