Trinity Blood

A routine flight on the airship "Tristian," turns into a nightmare when hi-jacked by a vampire, Aflred, who belongs to a radical vampire group known as Fleurs du Mal. After making a threat to the Vatican (by dropping the Tristian if his comrades were not released from Vatican custody), Alfred believes that things are going according to plan...until he meets Abel Nightroad, a traveling priest from the Vatican. Little does Alfred know that Abel is not like any ordinary priest.

A meeting turns deadly for the terrorist group Fleurs du Mal. Abel accompanied by an android, Tres Iqus, are sent to investigate, but end up discovering a young girl who possesses a great power. Now it's up to Abel and Tres to determine what she is and why was she in the custody of Fleurs du Mal.

Ishtvan, a city where the tenuous balance of power between the Human and Vampire worlds is threatened, is a city located between the Holy See in the West, and the Great Empire in the East which is under the rule of Count Gyula. Abel, who is sent there to find the "Star", meets a troubled Sister Esther Blanchett.

With Esther and Abel his prisoners, Count Jula reveals his plan: to use the Star of Sorrow to rain destruction down on the human race in revenge for his wife's murder.

Father Abel Nightroad escorts Sister Esther Blanchett to the Vatican in Rome, where she meets the other members of AX including Lady Caterina Sforza and The Pope (Alessandro XVIII).

A murder on holy ground has taken place in Amsterdam, and Lady Caterina sends in the mysterious Father Hugue de Watteau, also known as "Sword Dancer", to investigate.

When ships off the coast of Albion are attacked by what appear to be vampire fairies, Abel seeks out an old comrade, Father Leon Garcia - a former AX member now doing hard time, to help him investigate.

After the unexplained collapse of the National Palace in Barcelona, Spain, Father Abel and Sister Noelle are sent to Barcelona to discern what the cause is.

Though grief stricken by the events in Barcelona, the agents of AX scramble to prevent the Rosenkreuz order from carrying out their plan to destroy Rome with the Silent Noise device.

Plans to use "The Silent Noise", a destructive sound-wave device, to destroy Rome are underway. Lady Caterina is held under house arrest for her suspicion of Archbishop D'Este.

In Venice, Abel teams up with an agent of the Empire, Astharoshe Asran, to hunt down a vampire mass murderer of humans, Enderles Kudza. But, Astharoshe has a personal grudge against Enderles and a great deal of contempt for what she regards as Terran interference.

Rumors of a possible assassination attempt on Lady Caterina are proven true when a fire occurs near the room she is staying in. At the same time, a vampire, known as Ion Fortuna, an Imperial Messenger and the Earl of Memphis, attempts to deliver a message to Lady Caterina.

Sister Esther, Ion and Radu flee from the execution squad, in an attempt to meet with Lady Caterina. Father Abel and Sister Esther try to help Ion and Radu escape, but Radu betrays them.

Dietrich, the Puppet Master, takes control of the Inquisition air ships and uses them to attack the city. He also sends more assassins to attack Lady Caterina. Meanwhile, Abel, Esther, Ion and Petros race through the city to talk to Caterina and evade Radu.

Esther and Abel accompany Ion back to Byzantium, the capital of the Empire. But instead of beeing welcome with open arms, they are hunter for the murder of an important government offical.

Abel and Asta head to the Empress’ palace for the meeting in an attempt to free Ion of his bad name. Meanwhile, Ion and Esther search for Menmaru.

Esther recovers from her injuries, while Ion encounters Radu.

After recklessly charging in to kill Radu, Ion is captured along with Esther. Meanwhile, Abel and Astharoshe try to stop the assassination attempt on the Empress.

Dietrich makes an appearance as the person controlling Radu. Abel saves Ion and Esther and then pursues Radu. In the confrontation between Suleyman and Astharoshe, Seth comes forth as the empress and then later helps Abel defeat Radu.
