He really liked, even loved Blade, like a son. He admitted it. Blade liked the old man too. It was really sad for him to die.

He annoyed me and he ws no use. he just slowed down the action sequences. Where did he go by the way?????

^I was really sad! He was Blade's only family.. :'(

@Storystuff: He was killed in the third movie. The building where he and Blade were hiding out was blown up and Whistler (presumely) died in the explosion. He certainly wasn't useless, cause he did help Blade by making him weapons and by working on his serum. And he was Blade's back up whenever the big man went out on a hunt.

@samjhart: I was sad too. I think Blade really saw him as a father.

i personally didn't like the third movie and his premature death was one of the reasons why. i think that he should have died or have been killed eventually but in a way that made Blade have to go and avenge his death. like if he saw Dracula kill him or something like that.

@ME-Amour: Well, I think Whistler was dying anyway. Didn't he have cancer? I didn't want him to die but I guess it was inevitable. Knowing him he probably would've preferred to go down fighting instead of dying because of some decease.. but instead he blew up that building because he wanted to avoid Blade being caught by the government. He didn't want them to find any information. But yeah, I guess Blade out for revenge would've been a nice touch.. :)

yes, of course i wanted him to survive! it was very sad. he died in the first Blade movie, but came back in the second and i was finally relaxed and happy, but he had to die in the third! damn that got to me! i really like whisler. that was just too sad..

Everyone needs some help! Whislers a cool old guy! Guys like him are very rare. I mean about oldness...

I thought he was alive since he was in Trinity.
