Jared Nomak is the original carrier of the so-called Reaper virus, which, according to Asad, is a mutation of the original vampire and is therefore a threat to the vampire race. Having a hatred for vampires, Nomak is first seen in Prague, Czech Republic outside a blood-bank speaking to another individual waiting to give blood and get paid. Once entering the blood bank, Nomak is asked a series of questions relating to his history and the scar on his chin. Nomak eventually is strapped to a chair to have his blood harvested by a group of vampires posing as a blood bank but breaks out, kills and drains everyone in the room, and escapes. We next see Nomak in the popular vampire club The House of Pain where he first fights with Blade and says the popular line Is the enemy of my enemy my friend, or my enemy before Blade realises the Reapers aversion to ultravoilet light, and he escapes.Eventually Nomak is the only Reaper left, and, in a brief encounter in the sewers, reveals to Whistler the conspiracy surrounding the Reaer strain, and it's true creation. Nomak breaks into Eli Damaskinos fortress after Whistler tells all to Blade about Nomak being the son of Eli Damaskinos and genetically created in an attempt to create a vampire super race , and Nomak kills Damaskinos and infects Nyssa before again fighting with Blade. He is defeated when Blade stabs him in the heart with his sword. With death nearing, Nomak feels relieved of his pain of existence and shoves the blade further into his heart, killing him instantly.Nomak's physiology is different to a typical vampire. Instead of having two prominent fangs, Nomak is able to split his lower jaw exposing fangs which administer a paralysis drug and a tentacle-style organ used to feed from both humans and vampires. Being the original patient of the Reaper strain, he has to feed more often than a typical vampire, and although he can infect others into Reapers, they eventually die.
