Abraham Whistler is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe. He is a vampire hunter and mentor to Blade. Screenwriter David S. Goyer created him for the 1998 film Blade (played by Kris Kristofferson), but he first appeared on screen in Spider-Man: The Animated Series, and was voiced by Malcolm McDowell and later by Oliver Muirhead. In 2006, he appeared in the television show Blade: The Series. Although he is inspired partially by the character Jamal Afari from the comics, sharing certain traits, Whistler has yet to make a transition to the comics.
