Blood is an exclusive PS1-version-only hidden character in the game, and he is an unlockable playable character in it.
===== HOW TO UNLOCK BLOOD =====

===== ABOUT BLOOD =====
His parents were slain by Bilstein, and after that he was taken in by Bilstein for the purpose of conducting further research into the high amount of Plasma Power in his body. He was put under a Plasma spell which brainwashed him, making him a servant and becoming a personal soldier of the Fourth Empire for Bilstein. He was given one primary directive - and that is to be a silent assassin on Earth and eliminate anyone who had the potential to have great Plasma Power, thus ensuring that the Earth Federation would not be a threat to the Fourth Empire.
In this playthrough, as a bonus I have included a fight against CPU Super Bilstein at the end. You can see it starting around 14:45.
===== GAMEPLAY =====
Despite the completely different aesthetics and voice, Blood is basically a derivative of Bilstein with a number of differences and unique moves of his own. One example of these unique moves is the one where he enlarges his sword (he looks like Hayato when he does it) and strikes with it. If you're familiar with using Bilstein then you'll be right at home with Blood.
===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====
---- He, along with Kappah, does not show his face in his portrait and banner images on the character select and versus screens.
---- If you reach and beat CPU Super Bilstein with him, he does not have an ending.
---- On the character select screen, when you select/confirm him, the announcer is rather enthusiastic when saying his name.
---- There is an early version of the PS1 game where Blood was still in "beta" form in it.
---- Star Gladiator is Capcom's first 3D fighting game to be developed by themselves.
===== ABOUT STAR GLADIATOR =====
The game is basically a futuristic weapons fighter, largely inspired by the Star Wars franchise. The fighting system and mechanics is very typical of a Capcom fighting game... it's a bit like a flexible Street Fighter with weapons and "dial-a-combos". The character roster is certainly diverse, with robots, mechs, monsters and creatures as well as humans.
