Blade is one of André Toulon's living puppets. He is considered is the second in command behind Jester and has appeared in all of the Puppet Master movies to date. He stands at 1'9" and weighs 4 lbs. He has a gaunt pale face with seemingly empty black eye sockets and long white hair and wears a black trench coat and wide-brimmed hat.

Biography
Blade was designed after the Nazi Colonel, Major Kraus. He animated by the soul of Dr. Hess, a German scientist and medical doctor. He was used for evil under puppet masters Neil Gallagher, André Toulon, and Dr. Magrew, all three of whom he later turned against. He was used for good under Andre Toulon, Rick Meyers, Jonathon Villegas (RED), Peter Hertz A.K.A. Eric Weiss, and Robert Toulon whom he each served loyally. Blade has a sharp hook for his left hand and a knife for his right hand. He sometimes has spike-shaped "bullet eyes" that pop out of his sockets in times of excitement. Blade also appears in Boogeymen: The Killer Compilation. In his youth Toulon made a puppet, named Mephisto, for his production of Faust, which greatly resembles Blade. This puppet however was incinerated.
